Ferns vs Lovable
The best Lovable alternative for AI website building
Websites, not web apps. Ship in seconds, not hours.
What is Lovable?
Lovable (formerly GPT Engineer) is an AI code generation tool for building full-stack web applications. It's powerful but aimed at developers building apps, not businesses needing websites.
Common Lovable frustrations
- Built for web apps — overkill for marketing sites
- Generates code you need to deploy and host yourself
- Requires technical knowledge to customize and maintain
- Pricing starts at $20/mo for limited usage
Why teams switch to Ferns
- Purpose-built for websites — landing pages, business sites, portfolios
- Hosting, domains, and SSL included automatically
- No code to manage — edit visually, publish instantly
- Built-in lead collection, analytics, and SEO
The verdict
Lovable builds apps. Ferns builds websites. If you need a React app, use Lovable. If you need a site live in 60 seconds, use Ferns.
