Lovable
the market leader, with a real exit path off the platform
the best all-round balance of output quality, a real backend, and a genuine way out — two-way github sync plus the ability to migrate onto your own supabase. credit burn on heavy iteration is the tax.
lovable builds full-stack web apps: a react/tailwind/vite frontend on a supabase backend (auth, postgres, storage) it provisions for you as 'lovable cloud'. what pushes it to the top is the exit path — every save can push to your own github repo, there's a zip download, and in mid-2026 it added official buttons to export off lovable cloud onto a supabase project you control. you are not trapped, which is rare here.
the weaknesses are the category's: heavy iteration burns credits fast and the per-action credit value is opaque, and the stack is fairly fixed to react + supabase. commercially it's the clear leader — roughly $500m arr in 2026 after a $330m round at a $6.6b valuation — so platform risk is low. for most people building a real mvp, it's the default first pick.
