Our take
Pick Lovable if founders and PMs who want a first hosted app without hiring a sprint. Pick Replit if founders and students who want an idea → hosted app without a local toolchain. Skip Lovable if teams that cannot send product specs to Lovable, or engineers who need a desktop agent (Cursor). Skip Replit if teams that must keep code off Replit’s cloud, or engineers who want an AI-native desktop IDE (Cursor).
