Lovable vs Sketchflow.ai

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. Both start at $25. Both have a free tier.

What our research says

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

Sketchflow.ai

Sketchflow's pitch — one prompt to matching native iOS, Android, and web code, not just a web prototype — is a real differentiator from most vibe-coding tools that only target the browser. The company itself is invisible on its own site, and even its pricing numbers could not be confirmed directly after several attempts, so treat the specifics here as secondhand.

Pros

  • Generates iOS, Android, and web versions together from a single prompt
  • Accepts a reference image/design to redesign into code, not just blank prompts
  • Native code export (Swift/Kotlin/React) rather than a locked-in hosted format
  • Template library to start from instead of a blank prompt

Cons

  • No company name, founders, or country disclosed on the site
  • Pricing could not be confirmed directly from the vendor's own pages across multiple attempts — figures here are secondhand
  • Credit-based pricing means cost scales with usage in a way that's hard to predict upfront

Which one fits

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

Choose Sketchflow.ai if you need

  • teams wanting native iOS/Android/web code from one prompt instead of three separate builds
  • starting from an existing design or screenshot rather than a blank prompt
  • developers who want exportable code rather than a hosted-only app
