Biela.dev vs Lovable

Two fact sheets from our own research, side by side — pricing, platforms, API access and status re-checked by us rather than quoted from the vendors. Biela.dev starts at $29, Lovable at $25. Both have a free tier.

What our research says

Biela.dev

Biela.dev fits the same niche as other prompt-to-app builders: fast for a working prototype, less predictable once a project needs precise control. Because independent reviews and third-party pricing pages were more informative than the vendor's own site during this research, some details here are less directly verified than usual.

Pros

  • Generates both front-end and backend from a single prompt
  • Free daily token allowance for trying a first project
  • Deploys the generated app without a separate hosting step
  • Multiple paid tiers scale token volume for larger projects

Cons

  • The vendor's own site did not return readable content during this review, so claims lean on third-party sources
  • Free tier is capped daily rather than a permanent low-volume plan

Lovable

The cleanest prompt-to-app experience for someone who cannot write React, and GitHub sync means you are not locked in — but 100 credits a month is less runway than it sounds once the app gets real.

Pros

  • Live preview after each change keeps iteration legible to non-developers
  • GitHub sync and Supabase mean the output is real, portable code
  • The free tier is enough to find out whether the idea works
  • Per-action credit costs are published, so estimating is possible

Cons

  • Free tier caps at 30 credits a month regardless of the daily grant
  • Debugging a bad generation can cost more credits than the original build
  • Opinionated stack — React front end, Supabase back end, little room to differ
  • No API for driving builds programmatically

Which one fits

Choose Biela.dev if you need

  • Non-developers testing a product idea quickly
  • Prototyping a full-stack app from a description
  • Developers who want a starting scaffold to edit further

Choose Lovable if you need

  • Founders and designers shipping a working prototype without a developer
  • Anyone who wants generated code exported to GitHub rather than held hostage
  • Small internal tools needing authentication and a database on day one
