Pick Lovable if…
you never want to see an IDE, and visual edits plus a connected Supabase backend cover what you need.
Lovable is a prompt-to-app generator that hands you a finished-looking product. Replit is a full browser IDE with an agent on top, so you can also open the code, run it, and collaborate on it live.
Replit ($20/mo) is slightly cheaper to start and gives you a real IDE, built-in database and parallel agents. Lovable ($25/mo) is the simpler path for non-coders who mostly want to describe the app and edit it visually.
| App | Free tier | Paid from | Top plan | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lovable | Yes | $25/mo | $50/mo | Founders and designers turning an idea into a working full-stack app with a real database, without hiring a developer |
| Replit | Yes | $20/mo | $100/mo | Non-technical builders and fast prototypers who want to go from prompt to a deployed full-stack app entirely in the browser |

you never want to see an IDE, and visual edits plus a connected Supabase backend cover what you need.
you want to look at and change the code yourself, collaborate live with others, or run several agents in parallel.
At the entry tier, slightly: Replit Core is $20/mo against $25/mo for Lovable Pro. The catch is Replit's next tier — Pro at $100/mo is a steep jump, while Lovable Business is $50/mo.
Neither is fully predictable. Replit's Agent credit consumption is unpredictable on complex builds, and Lovable's credits burn fast on complex apps. Lovable at least rolls unused credits over.
Lovable Business adds SSO and role-based team workspaces. Replit Pro supports 15 collaborators and 50 viewers; SSO is enterprise-only on Replit.
