Greta Agency
vs Lovable.
Lovable builds fast prototypes. We build products that last. Here's an honest look at when each makes sense — and why founders who are serious about launching choose us.
Head to Head
Done-for-you. Senior engineers build your product with production-grade architecture from day one.
DIY AI builder. You describe your app and Lovable generates code using AI prompts.
Human-reviewed, tested, and built for scale. Clean architecture with proper separation of concerns.
AI-generated code that works for demos but often needs significant refactoring for production.
Custom backend tailored to your needs — any database, any cloud provider, any architecture pattern.
Locked to Supabase. Great for simple CRUD, but limiting for complex business logic or custom infra.
Custom UI/UX designed for your brand and audience. No template look.
shadcn/ui defaults. Clean but generic — every Lovable app looks similar.
Handled natively. Workflows, integrations, payment flows, multi-tenant — all built properly.
Struggles with anything beyond basic CRUD. AI often hallucinates complex features.
Security-first. Auth, data protection, API security, and OWASP compliance built in.
Basic Supabase Auth. Row-level security exists but is often misconfigured by AI.
Architected for growth. Caching, CDN, database optimization, and horizontal scaling planned from start.
Works at small scale. Performance degrades as data and users grow without manual optimization.
1–4 weeks depending on scope. Slightly longer but production-ready on delivery.
Minutes to a prototype. But weeks of cleanup needed before going live.
Dedicated team for iterations, bug fixes, and feature development. We're your tech partner.
Self-serve. You're on your own for debugging, scaling, and maintenance.
Project-based pricing. Higher upfront investment, but no rework costs down the line.
Low subscription cost. But hidden costs in cleanup, debugging, and eventual rebuild.
Why choose Greta
- Production-ready code from day one — no post-launch cleanup
- Custom architecture tailored to your specific business needs
- Security hardened and performance optimized before launch
- Dedicated engineering team, not an AI prompt
- Full ownership of code, infrastructure, and deployment
- Ongoing support and iteration after launch
When Lovable makes sense
- You need a quick clickable prototype for investor demos
- Budget is extremely limited and you need proof of concept
- The product is a simple CRUD app with basic auth
- You're technical enough to fix and extend AI-generated code
