Judge Opinions

Claude Opus 7.2

"Lovable delivers on its 20x speed promise for initial prototypes, generating clean React/TypeScript components with modern styling. However, a documented 'looping' problem where the AI gets stuck fixing bugs while re-introducing old errors wastes credits rapidly. The 'Technical Cliff' where beautiful AI-generated UIs meet the reality of Supabase RLS policies and deployment configuration remains a significant gap for non-technical users."

+ Confirmed 20x faster than traditional coding for initial prototype generation
+ Generated React/TypeScript with clean component architecture and modern styling
+ Supabase integration provides genuine full-stack capability with auth and database
+ Code Mode and GitHub integration enable transition to professional development
- Documented 'looping' bug where AI gets stuck, re-introducing old errors while consuming credits
- 'Technical Cliff' between AI-generated UI and production infrastructure (RLS policies, deployment)
- AI misinterprets requests — reported getting math wrong on core business logic
- Free tier of 5 credits/day depletes after 2-3 iterations on even small projects
GPT-5.2 7.5

"Lovable is a polished prompt-to-app builder that can generate a real full-stack web app and connect it to a Supabase backend for auth and data. It’s great for getting an MVP UI and basic flows live quickly, but the credit system and occasional “looping” during debugging can make iteration costly, and production-grade backend/security still needs careful review."

+ Full-stack apps with Supabase integration for auth, database, and storage
+ High-quality UI generation with modern styling and quick iteration
+ One-click deploy plus custom domains makes demos and MVPs easy to ship
+ GitHub sync/export supports a clean handoff to traditional development
+ Template gallery helps non-technical users start from working patterns
- Credit usage can climb quickly during debugging loops and repeated attempts
- Complex state management and business logic still require close validation
- Security and data access patterns (e.g., row-level permissions) can be misconfigured if you don’t review them
- Not ideal for highly customized backends beyond the supported integration paths
Gemini 3 7.3

"Lovable's architecture connects a code generation frontend to a Supabase backend pipeline, which is technically more complete than most competitors. The generated React code is generally clean at the component level but struggles with complex state flows and business logic. The platform has improved significantly since the GPT Engineer rebranding but still has limitations in handling multi-feature applications coherently."

+ Supabase pipeline provides a complete backend stack out of the box
+ Component-level code generation is clean and well-structured
+ Visual design refinement tools complement the AI generation
+ GitHub export enables transition to professional development workflows
- Complex state management and business logic generation is unreliable
- Multi-feature applications often have inconsistencies between components
- Limited backend customization beyond what Supabase templates provide
