The score is worked out from the facts below. How we score tools. What we earn is not part of it.

Lovable: who it fits and who it does not

Good for
  • Founders turning an idea into a working web app fast
  • Small teams that share one credit pool instead of paying per seat
Not for
  • Anyone who needs a predictable bill: cost per task depends on its complexity
  • Buyers who want credits back: credits are not refundable
The catch
No per-seat fees and you own the code, but credits are used per task and expire, so cost is hard to predict.
