Comparison
NeoBuild vs Lovable
Lovable is strong for polished web apps from chat. NeoBuild is built around an IDE-style workspace for business workflows—prompt, preview, review SQL, and keep a React (Vite) project with live preview, Supabase, GitHub sync, and ZIP export.
Choose Lovable when chat-first speed and visual polish are the main goal. Choose NeoBuild when you want an IDE-style build loop for SME/ops-style web apps, with versioned prompts, live preview, and a React project you can download or sync.

Moving between them
Both tools output React, so moving is a code move rather than a rebuild. From Lovable, export or clone the repository, then point the app at your own Supabase project. From NeoBuild, take the ZIP or the GitHub repo — the database is already yours, so nothing needs to be extracted from us.

Is NeoBuild a Lovable alternative?
It can be, if you prefer an IDE-style workspace aimed at business/ops web apps. If chat-first visual polish is your main need, Lovable may still be the better fit. Both products can generate modern web apps—compare the workspace and workflow, not marketing checklists alone.
Does NeoBuild use the Remix framework like some articles claim?
No. NeoBuild generates React (Vite) projects. On NeoBuild, “Remix” means cloning a public project template—not the Remix.run framework.
Can I take my NeoBuild app elsewhere later?
Yes. NeoBuild supports downloading a ZIP, syncing with GitHub, and connecting a customer Supabase project.
Build the app you can keep
Describe your workflow in plain English. NeoBuild generates a React app with live preview, Supabase-oriented data, and export paths via ZIP or GitHub.
