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

Stunning

Worth a look only if you are shipping to Gulf or North African customers and need Tap, Fawry or Tabby working on day one. On raw build quality and ecosystem, Lovable and v0 are further along, and Stunning's own marketing does it no favours.

Pros

  • Local payment and BNPL gateways are first-class, which no Western prompt-to-app tool bothers with
  • Full right-to-left and Arabic UI rather than a machine translation layer
  • Free tier lets you publish something before paying

Cons

  • Site is built on an off-the-shelf admin template; a theme-switcher panel and template scaffolding leak into production pages
  • Homepage runs a ByteDance/Google/Microsoft logo wall with nothing behind it, which undercuts trust
  • Pricing never renders on the pricing page (it sits at "Loading billing information..."), so cost is unknown before signup
  • No API and no visible export path off the platform

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 Stunning if you need

  • Arabic-language landing pages and storefronts built by a non-developer
  • MENA merchants who need local card processing and BNPL wired in without integration work
  • Freelancers reselling quick client sites in the region
