Hand-drawn editorial illustration of a table with eight different small tools laid out, a hand hovering undecided above them

Which vibe coding tool? Here's what each one says it is, in its own words.

You typed a sentence into Lovable and an app appeared. Here's where your code, data and bill actually live.

Lovable describes itself as a platform that builds and deploys web apps from plain English. Its own docs say where the app is hosted, what the built-in backend is, where your code sits and how you pay. A plain-language tour, from the docs.

Lovable asks "Stripe or Paddle?" Here's which to pick, and what each one does with your VAT

Lovable lets each project run one payment provider, and switching later leaves your subscribers behind. We read Lovable's payments docs on 27 September 2026 and worked out what each choice costs at $9, $29 and $99, who files your sales tax and VAT, and when to skip both and connect your own Stripe.

Your Lovable app got slow as the data grew. Three usual reasons.

It was snappy with ten rows and crawls with ten thousand. Almost always it's one of three things — a missing index, fetching everything then filtering in the browser, or no caching — and none needs you to read code.
