highlight fast idea-to-prototype workflows and weekly use for internal tools. Users like the clean design, GitHub/Supabase integrations, and smoother front-end flow in 2.0. Critiques focus on reliability at scale: loops when fixing bugs, unexpected overwrites, slow edits, weak SEO, and costly credit burn; backend/auth flows can be tricky. Overall, excellent for demos, landing pages, and early MVPs; less reliable for complex apps today.

What's great

free plan (1)fast prototyping (29)design capabilities (9)MVP builder (8)

Fantastic since it enables everyone to test their ideas and even improve on it...when you have that vision in your mind but need help to translate it into a real product!

Rapid development! Allows you to focus on product development and not programming, saving years!

I love it and have used it for a year, built 9 product, of which 6 was real and used by other and 2 was paid for with profit by B2B customers. Spend about $2000 in first year as early adopter on prompts and other hosting sites. Looking forward to see how they improve and help us grow and maintain what we already built.

What needs improvement

buggy (12)expensive (5)

Working with AI is fast and fun, but can derail you when project gets complex which it will.

So a lot of learning along the journey to understand the new technology, which ends up alos being more costly than expected but never as much as trusting someone else you have to pay to realise your vision.

Customer support can be lacking, when you lost lots of prompts due to a bug.

works better, better design, better integrations, better improvements over time, free 5 prompts a day...and friendly happy brand with lots of financial support. I rather pay more for a better product...less risk. Dont waste your time with worse tools, even if Lovable can still improve it is still the best one out there for AI development.

How quickly can you ship a workable MVP with Lovable?

3 - 7 days, but probably rather a month if you do it properly. So for a small product a weekend or even a day is possible, usually creating and linking domains to your lovable product websites is more the time consuming aspect. ignoring marketing

Do larger code changes consume credits too quickly?

yes, but it is more balanced...however they change the AI editors without notice so you have to adapt and the AI can does when project gets complex change or break already tested features...which you must manage very carefully. there is revision control but it doesn't prevent this, so testing is a major hassle.

Can you maintain full repository control and local development?

yes, but depends on how complex and fast you make changes it doesn't always have ability te repair all changes if you made too many to fast between versions. meaning one thing worked and it changes it, then another one work so no if you roll back no matter you will lose some work prompts.
