CodingFrequently asked questions
What makes Lovable different from Bolt?
Lovable is built around Supabase, so user auth, database, and storage are included from the start. Bolt is better for Node.js/React apps without a database. Lovable is stronger for SaaS MVPs.
Can non-technical founders use Lovable?
Yes. The chat-to-app interface lets you describe your idea in plain English. Lovable generates the full stack, deploys it, and gives you a live URL.
Does Lovable support custom domains?
Yes. Paid plans support custom domains. The free tier gives you a lovable.app subdomain.
Can I export the code from Lovable?
Yes. You can export the full project to a GitHub repository and continue developing locally or with your team.
What tech stack does Lovable use?
React + TypeScript frontend, Supabase for backend (PostgreSQL, auth, storage), and Tailwind CSS. Deployed on Lovable's hosting infrastructure.
Is Lovable good for internal tools?
Yes. With Supabase's built-in auth and row-level security, you can build internal dashboards, admin panels, and CRUD apps quickly.
How does Lovable pricing compare to Bolt?
Starter at $20/mo is similar to Bolt Pro. Launch at $50/mo adds more generous limits. Both are comparable for MVP development.
Can Lovable handle complex logic?
It handles CRUD, auth flows, and basic business logic well. For complex algorithms or custom API integrations, you may need to extend the generated code.
Does Lovable have a mobile app?
No. Lovable generates web apps that are responsive and mobile-friendly. For native mobile apps, consider React Native or Flutter.
Who should use Lovable?
Non-technical founders building SaaS MVPs, product teams prototyping with real data, and anyone who needs a full-stack app with a database without writing backend code.
