Lovable alternatives: 7 tools compared by what you build

Lovable builds full-stack web apps from a prompt and connects to Supabase and GitHub. If that is what you need, it is a strong choice. But not every project is an app. Sometimes you need a website for your business, a prototype you can click through, or interface code for a project you already have. Then another tool may fit better.

One thing up front: frascati is our product, and it is on this list. We describe each tool by what it is made for, and we say where frascati is the wrong choice. Other tools change their prices often, so we leave those out and point you to their websites.

What to look for in a Lovable alternative

AI builders can look alike in a demo. The differences show once you work on a real project. Ask these questions:

• What it builds: a website, a web app with logins and a database, or interface code for an existing project.
• How you make changes: can you keep refining in a conversation, and go back when a change does not work out?
• Publishing: can you put the result online yourself, and on your own domain?
• How you pay: a monthly plan, credits that follow usage, or both, and what happens when you need more.
• The code: can you read it and edit it, and can you download it to host elsewhere?
• Who it is for: people who write code, or people who do not.

1. frascati: websites for small businesses

frascati builds websites for small businesses, and since 29 September 2026 phone apps for iPhone and Android too. Since October 2026 a website can also have a members area where visitors sign in with a code by email; full web apps with server code of their own it does not build. For a website, you describe your business in a chat, and it writes a multi-page website with real copy, fitting photos from a large stock library and a working contact form. The first version takes about two minutes. Then you change the site by writing in the chat, and every change is saved as a version you can compare and restore.

It never invents facts about your business. Where it does not know your prices, opening hours or team, it leaves a visible [placeholder] for you to fill in. The code is React, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS 4, and the Code view shows every file so you can edit it directly. New websites are built with Claude Opus 5.5 and changes are made with Claude Sonnet 5.5, both by Anthropic.

• Paste the address of your current website, and frascati uses the text of that page: your real services and details.
• 13 built-in templates, plus templates shared by the community.
• One click puts the site online at a frascati address, or on your own domain with Pro and Business.
• Download the full source code with Pro and Business.
• Starter costs $12 a month, Pro from $29 and Business from $69. Every plan starts with a free 3-day trial with 20 credits, and a card is required.

Where it is the wrong choice: a frascati website can sign visitors in with a code by email and show them members-only content and their own entries, but it has no roles, no sign-in with a password or Google, no server code of your own and no database you design beyond simple Cloud tables. Its shop suits a small range, without stock levels or product variants. If you are building a web app, the next tools on this list fit better.

2. Bolt.new: build and run projects in the browser

Bolt.new by StackBlitz builds projects from a prompt and runs them in your browser, using StackBlitz's WebContainers technology. You see the code and the running project, and you can work on both. That suits web apps and prototypes where you want to stay close to the code.

If you only need a website for your business, a full development environment may be more than you need. If you are building an app and like to see how it works inside, Bolt.new is worth a look.

3. v0 by Vercel: React interfaces and apps

v0 by Vercel generates React UI and apps from a description. It fits best if you work with React yourself, or if a developer will take the code further. When the result has to live in a React project, v0 is a natural choice.

4. Replit: code in the cloud with an AI agent

Replit is a development environment in the cloud with an AI agent that writes and changes code for you. It supports many programming languages, so it reaches well beyond websites. It suits developers, students and anyone who wants to learn how the code works while the AI helps.

5. Base44: apps with a database and logins

Base44 turns a description into an app with a database and user logins built in. That suits internal tools such as trackers, simple admin screens and small dashboards for a team. For a public website that presents a business, a website builder is usually the simpler path.

6. Webflow: visual control for designers

Webflow is a visual editor with CSS-level control and a CMS, and it has added AI features on top. You place and style every element yourself, which gives designers precise control and takes time to learn. The CMS is a strength for sites that publish a lot of structured content, such as articles, job listings or case studies.

7. Wix: drag and drop with an app market

Wix is a drag-and-drop website builder with a large app market, and it can create a first version of your site with AI. You then arrange and edit everything in its editor. Wix has a free version that shows Wix branding and uses a Wix address, which is useful if you want to try things before you pay.

How they charge

Most AI builders charge a monthly fee, and many offer a free version with limits. Some count usage in credits or tokens, so bigger tasks cost more. Plans and limits change often, so check each tool's pricing page before you decide.

frascati is a paid product. Every plan starts with a free 3-day trial with 20 credits, and a card is required. If you cancel before the trial ends, nothing is charged; otherwise the plan you chose starts.

Pro and Business can be booked with more credits a month for a higher price, and paying yearly costs 10 months instead of 12. A new website uses about 3 credits and most changes less than 1. Our guide to how credits work has the details.

How to choose

There is no single best AI builder. Start from what you are making:

• A website for your business, also with a simple members area, without writing code: frascati, or Wix if you prefer to arrange the pages yourself.
• A web app with roles, a database you design and logic of its own: Lovable or Base44.
• An app or prototype you want to build and run in the browser, close to the code: Bolt.new.
• React interfaces or apps that you or a developer will take further: v0.
• A place to write, run and learn code with AI help: Replit.
• A design-led site with lots of content and precise visual control: Webflow.

Frequently asked questions

Is Lovable still a good choice?

Yes, if you are building a full-stack web app. That is what it is made for, and it connects to Supabase and GitHub. If you need a website that presents your business, a website builder is the simpler tool.

Which alternative suits people who do not code?

frascati and Wix. With frascati you describe what you want in a chat. With Wix you arrange the pages in a drag-and-drop editor. Neither needs any code.

Can I get the code?

With frascati you can read and edit every file in the Code view and, with Pro and Business, download the full source code. Lovable connects to GitHub, and Bolt.new, v0 and Replit show you the code as you work. Website builders such as Wix host your site on their own platform.

Which AI models do these tools use?

frascati uses Anthropic's Claude models: Claude Opus 5.5 builds new websites and Claude Sonnet 5.5 makes the changes. Other tools choose their own models and change them over time, so check their websites.

Is there an AI website builder that costs nothing?

frascati is a paid product, but every plan starts with a free 3-day trial with 20 credits. Many other builders offer a free version with limits. Running AI models costs money, so expect limits on anything you do not pay for.

Which one should you pick?

Pick by the job. For a business website, frascati is made for exactly that: real copy, photos, a contact form and placeholders instead of invented facts. For a full-stack app, stay with Lovable or look at Base44 and Bolt.new. For React interfaces, v0. For coding and learning in the cloud, Replit. For precise visual control and a CMS, Webflow. For drag and drop with an app market, Wix.

If you are unsure, try two tools on the same small project and compare the results. That tells you more than any list, including this one.
