    Frequently asked questions

    Is Appifex better than Lovable for production apps?

    Yes. Appifex auto-provisions PostgreSQL databases, FastAPI backends, and authentication from the start. Lovable requires manual Supabase setup for databases and auth, leaving a significant gap between prototype and production.

    Can Appifex build mobile apps like Lovable?

    Appifex builds native iOS and Android apps using React Native and Expo, deployable to the App Store and Google Play. Lovable only creates web applications and cannot generate mobile apps.

    How does Appifex handle errors compared to Lovable?

    Appifex includes a Fix Agent that automatically detects, classifies, and fixes deployment errors with retry limits and verification. Lovable users report spending 20-30% of their credits on fixing agent-generated errors in loops.

    Can I migrate from Lovable to Appifex?

    Yes. You can start fresh on Appifex with the same app idea and get a production-ready version with proper infrastructure. Appifex generates standard React, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL code that any developer can maintain.

    Is Appifex more affordable than Lovable?

    Appifex is free during early access — no credit card required. Lovable's credit-based pricing has been criticized for unpredictable costs, with users reporting credits burning faster than expected.
