Uvilno vs Lovable: compare typed app data, built-in AI, source access, Git sync, credit billing and backend portability using current official documentation.
Uvilno provides conversation-led frontend generation, schema-declared app data and a $4.99 permanent source unlock for one project. Plus costs $10/month; Pro costs $20/month with unlimited source unlocks during the subscription. Generation and hosted services have separate limits.
The five criteria below allocate 100 possible points. Available documentation and recorded Uvilno checks establish some conditions; they do not establish equivalent performance across products. Overall scores remain unmeasured. Unknown evidence is not treated as a failed capability.

Each listed condition has a five-point allocation. This page records evidence, not awarded performance points. “Documented” identifies a stated capability with its requirements. “Recorded Uvilno check” identifies a named first-party fixture; it is not independent comparative testing. “Unmeasured” leaves the condition open. Source-access purchases, annual subscriptions and operating services are different costs.
Build the same app, obtain its complete source, record the actual purchase, and rebuild on a separate host. Test continued source access and document the backend services that still need migration.
Create, edit and remove the same records; reload; repeat with another account; check record permissions; run a real app-AI request and inspect a triggered automation. Record each managed or external dependency.
Apply the same specified changes to matched projects. Compare exact file deltas, verify the rendered target and unchanged routes, and record end-to-end timings including verification. Publish failures as well as successes.
Make the same direct edit and introduce the same reproducible fault. Inspect actual usage ledgers, repair limits and saved-version behavior. A limited free path must not be described as unlimited free coding.
Build and navigate the same route plan, exercise state across pages, then measure frame time and input response on named devices. Framework support or an attractive screenshot does not establish a universal 60 FPS result.
A published 4–8 second edit claim needs timing data. A 60 FPS claim needs a named workload, device and frame-time record. Neither is inferred from feature availability, code export or a screenshot. The recorded checks and open evaluation protocol describe the current measurement boundary.
Key takeaway, October 2026. Uvilno combines typed hosted data, app AI and bounded transactional automations with a permanent $4.99 source unlock. Choose it when that frontend-and-managed-services contract fits your app; compare Lovable's runtime, service limits and handoff against the same requirements.
Where Lovable fits. Choose Lovable for a web application with managed Cloud services, a visual editor and repository synchronization.
Where Uvilno fits. Choose Uvilno for schema-driven frontend apps, transactional collection rules, explicit @ context and a permanent source unlock without a required recurring source subscription.
Both can produce portable source. Their starting workflows and service dependencies differ; ownership does not automatically migrate a database or authentication service.
Feature summaries reflect the linked documentation. “Requires configuration” is a responsibility to plan for, not a claim that the other product cannot do it.
| What to compare | Uvilno | Lovable |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Conversation-led websites and data-backed frontend apps, isolated preview and source handoff. | AI builder for websites and full-stack web apps. [3] |
| Paid entry plan | Plus $10/month; individual source unlock $4.99 once per project. | Pro 100: $25 monthly or $250 annually upfront. [1] |
| Free starting point | $0 plan with limited included AI usage; source stays locked until entitled. | Free plan includes capped daily build grants and limited Cloud/app-AI grants. [2] |
| Source access | Inspection and raw source require a permanent project unlock. | Repository sync is available; direct download depends on plan. [4] |
| Code export | Unlocked ZIP includes source, project images, bundled fonts and licenses. | Export source and move hosting; services require separate migration. [3] |
| Technical foundation | HTML/CSS/JavaScript; eligible projects use a Next.js static-export workflow. | New apps use TanStack Start; older projects may use React and Vite. [3] |
| Design workflow | Describe the audience and brand; add images and visual references. | Prompting with a visual editor and preview environment. [3] |
| Refinement | Chat edits, saved versions and mapped Inspect & Edit controls. | Chat changes and repository-backed development. [4] |
| Preview and review | Interactive preview runs on a separate origin; review desktop and phone layouts. | Preview environments before publishing. [3] |
| Hosting | Publish Studio serves an explicitly published version; exported source can also run on another host. Service limits apply. | Managed Lovable hosting or your own infrastructure. [3] |
| Custom domains | Verified custom domains are available for entitled projects through Publish Studio; external hosting has its own DNS workflow. | Custom-domain workflow is documented; plan and DNS requirements apply. [1] |
| Database and backend | Typed Uvilno.db collections, persistent CRUD and App Data; hosted services remain a dependency after export. | Built-in Cloud backend with database, storage and compute billing. [2] |
| Visitor authentication | Project-scoped managed visitor identities when enabled; not a portable identity database by ZIP alone. | App authentication is part of the backend configuration. [3] |
| Payments | Stripe test Checkout connector; live use depends on configuration and release availability. | Payment integrations require provider credentials and testing. [3] |
| Existing code and Git | GitHub import, push and pull for supported frontends; source pushes require unlock. | Two-way GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket sync; existing-repo import differs. [4] |
| SEO workflow | Generated page metadata and structure need review; rankings and traffic are not guaranteed. | SEO tools exist; review crawlability and final content. [3] |
| Usage limits | Finite AI usage on every plan. Unlimited source unlocks are not unlimited generation. | A shared credit balance funds build, runtime and supported integrations. [2] |
| Moving away | Static source can move to your host; managed auth, data, forms and payments may need migration. | Code and data can move; replace or reconfigure backend, AI and connector calls. [3] |
| Declarative data and studio | data/schema.json declares typed collections; App Data manages actual owned and shared records. | Built-in backend with database tables and record editing in the project tools. [5] |
| In-app AI | Uvilno.ai.ask/json runs real owner-funded inference; 600-token replies and admission limits apply. | Managed app AI connector provides real model calls and workspace usage billing. [6] |
| Database automations | Bounded create/update/remove rules and notifications commit atomically; inspect Automations & Logs. | Backend functions and scheduled jobs are documented; execution differs from Uvilno's bounded atomic rules. [5] |
| Role views and authorization | Guest/Member/Admin previews change presentation only; real visitor permissions remain server-enforced. | Backend users and sign-in tools; actual access follows configured permissions. [5] |
| Focused edit context | @file, @page, @db and inspected-element references guide bounded source retrieval with a repo map. | Chat, generated modules and repository sync; no same-brief timing benchmark was run. [4] |
| Repair and interaction cost | Mapped visual edits cost 0% usage. Limited reproduced static-runtime repairs are platform-funded; ordinary AI edits are metered. | Build/chat and app runtime use the documented credit balance; check action-specific charges. [2] |

Uvilno source: plans and source entitlement, with implementation boundaries described on this page. Always review the actual exported project and configured services.
Uvilno's October 27 integration run exercised real hosted services with a code-authored fixture. It was not an independently scored CRM-generation contest or a test of Lovable. We publish the boundary so a passing SDK check cannot be mistaken for a universal build-completion rate.
| Check | Uvilno: observed result | Lovable |
|---|---|---|
| Saved data | A task was persisted through the actual SDK and recovered after an iframe reload. | Not measured in this run. Official capability documentation is linked separately. |
| Database effects | Task creation wrote an activity record and notification in the same transaction. | Not measured in this run. Official capability documentation is linked separately. |
| Account boundaries | Guest/Member/Admin view changes preserved the real visitor and creator identities. | Not measured in this run. Official capability documentation is linked separately. |
| Targeted recovery | A reproduced static ReferenceError was repaired in app.js and browser-checked without a customer usage-ledger entry. | Not measured in this run. Official capability documentation is linked separately. |

Real free-model text and JSON app inference also passed locally; the production replay verified persistence, automations and isolation without additional inference. No cross-vendor latency, aesthetic score, completion percentage or total operating cost was measured. Read the machine-readable evidence and methodology.
Lovable's current documentation distinguishes new TanStack Start applications from older React and Vite projects. That matters when estimating a deployment: a server-capable app has different requirements from static files. Uvilno also has more than one generation path, with HTML/CSS/JavaScript and eligible Next.js static exports. Inspect the project's actual build output before choosing a host.
Lovable documents one credit balance for building, Cloud and app AI. Uvilno also meters actual owner-funded app inference alongside its generation allowance. Neither product's monthly source entitlement means unlimited runtime inference. Budget from expected visitor activity and service limits, then keep source access, external hosting and provider charges as distinct line items.
Lovable explicitly supports source export and moving infrastructure, so claiming that it traps every project would be misleading. Uvilno makes a permanent source unlock part of its purchase model. With either product, verify a clean build outside the platform and identify the database, auth, storage and connector services that must be retained or replaced.
Published plan prices are a starting point. Add the costs your actual website needs; this is a budget worksheet, not a price quote or a measured savings claim.
Zero in an optional field means that cost is excluded from this worksheet. It does not mean unlimited or free generation, provider usage, hosting or domains. Taxes, currency conversion and labor are excluded.
Source unlocks persist. This worksheet models new projects at an even monthly pace; Plus's two included unlocks must be used in their paid month. Existing unlocked sites do not require another unlock.
Configured monthly AI capacity: Pro is 2.5× Plus; Ultra is 5× Pro. These are usage-capacity ratios, not a guaranteed number of builds.
Pro 100: $25 billed monthly, or $250 paid for a year. Annual payment is upfront. Building, Cloud, app AI and some connectors consume credits. Usage and third-party services can exceed the included grants. Pricing checked 2026-10-27. See the official pricing source.
The documented Pro 100 annual total is $250 paid upfront; $25 is the monthly billing option. Rounded monthly equivalents should not replace the actual annual charge.
Yes. Lovable documents repository synchronization and source portability. Direct downloads and specific Git workflows have plan requirements; moving backend data and services is additional work.
No. Credit units, included grants and the operations they pay for differ. Compare a defined project and its ongoing services, not the numeric size of the credit allowance.
Publish Studio can serve an explicitly published version, and entitled projects can connect a verified custom domain. Every plan still has finite AI usage and service limits. A permanent source unlock grants source access, not unlimited hosting or generation. External hosting and managed-service migration need separate planning; payments currently use test workflows.
A product comparison can narrow the options. Your own content, constraints and review decide the fit.
The brief is preloaded for you to review. AI generation starts only when you send it. Included usage is limited; source access requires unlock.
