Honest comparison
Lovable vs ezeki.ai
Facts about Lovable last checked on October 27, 2026.
Lovable is one of the most popular ways to build an app by describing it. You chat, it generates the code, and a Figma-style editor lets you adjust the result visually. It has a big community, a template gallery and a polished product.
ezeki.ai plays in the same category: you say what you want, an AI engineer builds it on its own cloud computer, and you publish with one tap. The differences that actually matter are below — honestly, including where Lovable is the better pick.
The big difference: how you pay for the AI
Lovable sells credits. Every message you send spends some, and building, hosting your app’s backend and AI features inside your app all draw from the same pool. A heavy build week can empty it, and you top up to continue.
ezeki.ai does not bill for AI at all. You connect the Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Kimi plan you already pay for, and your ezeki.ai plan is a flat monthly price for build hours. A big change costs the same as a small one, and a published app keeps running without using any hours.
Side by side
| Compared | Lovable | ezeki.ai |
|---|---|---|
| Paying for the AI | Credits, spent per message | Covered by the AI plan you already have |
| A big build week | Can need a credit top-up | Same flat monthly price |
| A published app | Keeps drawing Cloud credits | Runs free, uses no build hours |
| Editing visually | Yes — a Figma-style editor | No — you describe changes in chat or send a screenshot |
| Starting point | A big template gallery | Your description, in your words |
| Sign-in and payments | Generated for your app, runs on credits | Built in and maintained by us, with Stripe |
| Testing before going live | A preview of the app | A full test setup: test database, Stripe test cards, a test inbox for sign-in emails |
| The AI itself | Lovable’s own | Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Kimi — switch any time |
| Your code | Yours, syncs to GitHub | Yours, on GitHub if you like, with a code editor and terminal when you want them |
Choose Lovable if
- You want to design visually — dragging, resizing and restyling things on the page.
- You want to start from a template instead of a blank description.
- You don’t have a Claude or ChatGPT plan and don’t want one.
- You want the biggest community around you: tutorials, templates and tips for everything.
Choose ezeki.ai if
- You already pay for Claude or ChatGPT and don’t want to pay for AI twice.
- You want to know your monthly cost before you start — no credit balance to watch.
- You’re going to take real payments and want to test with Stripe test cards before anyone pays for real.
- You want a real computer behind the app — code editor and terminal included — for the day you or a developer friend needs it.
Fair questions
- Is Lovable bad?
- No — it’s a good product, and for visual design work it’s ahead. The honest differences are the pricing model and who looks after the serious parts: here your AI plan covers the model, the price is flat, and sign-in and payments are maintained by us instead of generated into your app.
- Do I need a Claude or ChatGPT subscription to use ezeki.ai?
- Yes — that’s the model. Most people already pay for one. You connect it, keep paying them for AI, and ezeki.ai bills only for the computer, hosting and publishing.
- Can I move a project from Lovable to ezeki.ai?
- Often, yes: Lovable can put your code on GitHub, and your engineer here can continue from existing code. How smooth that is depends on the app — book 30 minutes with the founder and you’ll get an honest answer.
No credit card to start. Or book 30 minutes with the founder for an honest answer on whether ezeki.ai fits your app.
