Lovable Free tier
Chat-based builder that generates full-stack React apps with Supabase backends from a prompt.

3
Replit Agent Free tier
Agent inside Replit's cloud IDE that builds, hosts, and deploys full apps with databases.

+ Hosting, database, auth, and secrets live in one place, so deployment is a button.
− Effort-based billing makes costs unpredictable and the agent has deleted user data in a notorious incident.

Bolt.new Free tier
Browser-based app builder that runs a full Node.js environment via WebContainers.

+ Runs npm, dev servers, and builds entirely in the browser so nothing is installed.
− Token-metered pricing burns through the monthly allowance on larger projects.

Databutton Free tier
AI app builder that generates React frontends and Python FastAPI backends from conversation.

− Slower and pricier per build than front-end-only builders.

6
Browser-based agentic development environment that prototypes full-stack apps and deploys them to Firebase.

+ Goes from prompt to a deployed Firebase-backed app without leaving the browser.
− The App Prototyping agent is Next.js-centric and the cloud IDE can feel sluggish.

v0 Free tier
Vercel's generative UI tool that turns prompts and screenshots into React, Tailwind, and shadcn/ui code.

+ Output uses shadcn/ui and Next.js idiomatically, so it drops straight into real projects.
− Heavily biased to the Vercel stack; other frameworks get worse results.

Figma's prompt-to-app tool that turns designs or descriptions into working prototypes and code.

+ Starts from your existing Figma frames and design system, not a blank prompt.
− Output is prototype-grade and harder to hand off to a real codebase than v0.
