HeyBoss AI vs Lovable

HeyBoss AI

Aimed squarely at owners who would otherwise pay an agency: describe the business and it produces a responsive site with hosting, payments and SEO already wired. Pricing is now a plain tier ladder with a free starting plan, but the credit allowance is what really limits you — a full app is quoted at 5,000+ credits against 200 a month on Basic. Little is published about who supports you when something breaks below the top tier.

Pros

• +Builds websites, stores, landing pages and small apps from prompts
• +Hosting, database, SEO automation and conversion tracking in one plan
• +Free plan to try the builder before paying
• +Text, colour and spacing edits do not consume credits
• +Named San Francisco founder and disclosed investors

Cons

• −A full app is quoted at 5,000+ credits, far above the 200 to 1,600 included each month
• −Payments and storefront start only at the Premium tier
• −No stated full code export or repository access, only an in-product code editor
• −Priority human support is reserved for the Platinum tier

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
• −API access is reserved for the Business tier, which charges double Pro's price per credit
