The honest brief

Lovable

Wires a Supabase backend and GitHub sync into every generated app — leans full-stack where v0 stops at UI.

  • Built-in Supabase backend
  • GitHub sync + one-click publish
  • Fast idea-to-shipped product
  • Beginner-friendly, no-code path
  • Can burn credits on complex apps
  • Less control than hand-coding
  • Opinionated React/Supabase stack

Replit

Build, database, and hosting all live in the browser, so its Agent can ship a working app with zero local setup.

  • Agent scaffolds, runs, and deploys
  • One-click publish, no local setup
  • Frontier models power the Agent
  • Works from phone or browser
  • Checkpoint/usage costs can surprise
  • Less control than a local IDE
  • Heavier apps strain the platform
