You do not want the stack chosen for you
If the project needs something other than the default shape, an opinionated builder becomes the thing you fight. Here the specialists build to your decision.
A Lovable alternative that does not decide your stack for you
Lovable is a genuinely polished way to build an app when its opinions match yours. CreonAI takes the opposite position: specialists per concern, the stack left to you, and the non-code parts of shipping handled on the same platform.
No card needed. 500 credits is enough to build a real site and iterate on it.
The short version
Which one should you use
Pick Lovable if a React and Supabase shaped app is what you want and you like the guardrails an opinionated tool gives you. Pick CreonAI if you want to choose the stack, want the files and a terminal, or need images, video and SEO from the same brief.
| CreonAI | Lovable | |
|---|---|---|
| Shape of the tool | Orchestrator selecting from 21 specialists per task | A single polished AI app builder |
| Stack | Your choice; backend and database specialists build to it | Opinionated, which is a real strength when the opinions fit |
| What you get out | Files in a workspace you own, plus a terminal | An app in their environment, with export available |
| Beyond code | Image, video, SEO, research and docs agents included | Focused on app building |
| Editor integration | Published VS Code extension running the same agent loop | Primarily browser based |
| How you pay | Credits. Free tier, then £9.99 or £19.99 a month | See their pricing page |
Compared on architecture rather than price. Lovable changes its plans from time to time, so we link to their own pricing page rather than quote a number that goes stale. Ours is on our pricing page, in full.
Choose CreonAI
Where CreonAI is the better fit
The brief is wider than an app
Marketing site, hero images, a promo video, an SEO audit. Separate specialists, one platform, one brief.
You want the terminal
Real shell access in the workspace. Install a package, run the tests, inspect what was actually written.
Spend should follow usage
Credits rather than a seat. A month where you build nothing costs nothing.
Choose Lovable
Where Lovable is the better fit
Genuinely. If you are in one of these positions, Lovable will serve you better, and we would rather you knew that now than after paying us.
Its opinions match your project
When the default stack is what you wanted anyway, opinionated tooling is faster and produces cleaner results than something that asks you to decide.
You value polish over breadth
Lovable's editing experience is well made. If you want one deep, refined path rather than 21 specialists, that focus is a real advantage.
The difference
What actually makes CreonAI different
Most AI builders are one model in a loop. CreonAI runs an orchestrator that reads the task, decides which specialists it needs, and runs them together: frontend, backend, database, security, testing, SEO, and agents for image and video. 21 in total. Because they share one workspace, the backend agent writes against the schema the database agent just created rather than guessing at it.
It works on real files with a real terminal, so you get a project you keep rather than a transcript to copy out of. And it is metered in credits rather than seats, so a quiet month costs almost nothing.
FAQ
Common questions
Can I use a stack other than React and Supabase?
Yes. Nothing is preselected. The database and backend specialists build to whatever you ask for, and you can inspect and change everything because it is ordinary files.
Does CreonAI review its own work?
There are separate security and testing specialists, and every tool call is logged with an audit trail. It is not a substitute for your own review, but the security pass is a real agent rather than a claim in the prompt.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. 500 credits, no card, and the free tier includes the web platform with chat, files and terminal so you can judge it properly before paying.
How is a multi-agent platform different in practice?
The orchestrator decomposes the task and runs specialists in parallel where they do not depend on each other, against a shared workspace. In practice that means the backend is written against the real schema rather than an assumed one.
