Head-to-head comparisons

Two tools side by side: price, free plan and its catch, limits, and what you can take with you. Every fact links its official source. Rankings come from our methodology and are never paid.

Facts checked October 26, 2026

• App builders
  Lovable vs Bolt

  Pick Lovable if you're a non-coder shipping a real web app and want the backend built in. It's our #1 app builder.

• Databases & backend
  Supabase vs Neon

  Pick Supabase if you want a whole backend in one dashboard: Postgres, auth, file storage and realtime. It's our #1 database pick.

• Hosting & deploy
  Vercel vs Netlify

  Pick Vercel if you're shipping a Next.js or React app. It's our #1 host, but the free Hobby plan is for non-commercial use only, so a paying app needs Pro ($20/mo).

• Coding agents & AI IDEs
  Cursor vs Claude Code

  Pick Cursor if you want an AI-first editor for everyday coding, a free plan to try it on, and a choice of models (Grok models on Plus, third-party models at API list price on Premium and up).

• App builders
  Replit vs Lovable

  Pick Replit if you want Agent, a full cloud IDE and hosting in one place, and expect to keep editing the code yourself. Core is $20/mo ($18 billed annually).

• Databases & backend
  Supabase vs Firebase

  Pick Supabase if you want a SQL (Postgres) backend with auth, file storage and realtime in one dashboard, and an easy way to move out later. It's our #1 database pick.
