Lovable alternative
The Lovable alternative with everything built in
Forge64 turns one prompt into a complete app. Like Lovable, AI builds it; unlike a builder you still have to wire up, auth, a Postgres database per app, hosting, domains, payments and payouts come with it.

Why people look for an alternative
- You want subscriptions and a billing page generated into the app, not added later.
- You run a marketplace or creator app and need payouts to sellers built in.
- Building and hosting share one Lovable credit pool, and Cloud usage beyond the monthly grant has no published per-unit rate.
