    Frequently asked questions

    Is Appifex better than Lovable for production apps?

    It depends on your stack. Appifex generates a dedicated Python backend (FastAPI + SQLAlchemy) with full API routes and custom server logic. Lovable uses Supabase Edge Functions, which work well for simple CRUD but are limited for complex backend requirements.

    Can Appifex build mobile apps unlike Lovable?

    Yes. Appifex builds native iOS and Android apps using React Native and Expo, with guided App Store and Play Store submission. Lovable generates web applications only — for mobile, you'd need third-party tools like Capacitor.

    How does error handling compare?

    Both platforms have automated error recovery. Appifex runs a 6-stage QA pipeline with circuit breaker after every generation. Lovable's Agent Mode claims ~90% error rate reduction. Appifex's pipeline additionally tests live API endpoints in a real sandbox.
