Lovable

What it is

Lovable is an AI app builder for full-stack web apps. You chat with it, it writes the code, and it hosts the result. Its FAQ says new apps created from May 13, 2026 use TanStack Start, which renders pages on the server; older apps use React with Vite. There is no choice of framework or database: data lives in PostgreSQL through Lovable's built-in backend or your own Supabase project.

Facts from Lovable's docs, checked 2026-10-29:

Area	What Lovable offers
Stack	TanStack Start for new apps; React + Vite for apps created before May 13, 2026; no framework choice
Backend	Built-in backend ("Cloud", built on Supabase's open-source foundation): database, auth, storage, edge functions, jobs, secrets; or connect your own Supabase
Auth	Email, Google, and OpenID Connect providers on the built-in backend
Payments	Built-in Paddle or Stripe payments on Pro and above; on Free you can connect your own Stripe account
Hosting	Publishes to a lovable.app subdomain; custom domains on paid plans
Code access	Git sync with GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket on every plan (creates a new repo; cannot attach an existing one); code editing and ZIP download on paid plans
Leaving	Docs cover deploying TanStack Start apps elsewhere via Nitro presets and moving the backend to your own Supabase

On the Free plan the daily 5 build credits stop after 30 in a calendar month, so a free workspace gets about six days of building a month.
