What our tests found
Lovable
Our T1 todo prompt gave a working preview in about 90s and used 0.70 credits. In the editor preview, add, complete, delete, filters and reload persistence all passed. At the direct preview URL adding a task did nothing (the page just reloaded), which may be a preview-only issue; we didn't check a published build. Single run, not 3.cloud free plan
- Working preview in about 90 seconds
- Every T1 check passed in the editor preview
- The build used only 0.70 of 10 daily free credits (observed 2026-10-16; current Free docs list 5/day as of 2026-11-06)
- Free publish with a free URL
- At the direct preview URL, adding a task did nothing (unverified on a published build)
- The first Build click opened a mode menu instead of starting
- Lovable said it hadn't tested its own work
- Custom domain needs Pro
- Signup refused our bot-domain email
Who it’s for: Non-coders and founders who want a polished web app from a prompt, quickly. Lovable fits that flow with free publish and Cloud, AI, and connector starter grants under the current Free plan. Bolt.new is a separate in-browser StackBlitz builder metered in tokens. Scores (Lovable 8.0, Bolt 8.7) are from separate 2026-10-16 single runs of the same T1 task shape, not one shared session. Meter units differ; do not infer more free builds by comparing 30 credits a month with 1M tokens a month.
Replit Agent
Our T1 todo prompt gave a working preview in about 6-9 minutes. Replit built an Expo mobile app shown in a web phone preview rather than a plain web page. Add, complete, delete, filters and reload persistence all passed, and the agent fixed a theme type error itself. The console showed 4 errors and 26 warnings, which we didn't inspect. Credit usage was not visible on the free plan. Single run, not 3.cloud free plan
- Every T1 check passed with no manual fixes
- Fixed its own theme type error
- Free publish of 1 project on a replit.app subdomain
- Built an Expo mobile app instead of the plain web app we asked for
- About 6-9 minutes to a working preview
- Credit usage isn't visible on the free plan
- Console showed 4 errors and 26 warnings
- Power and Max agent modes are locked on the free plan
Who it’s for: Beginners and makers who want an all-in-one cloud workspace that can build and host web or mobile apps from a prompt.
