Lovable vs Rork

Lovable

• Founders and product teams turning an idea into a working web app
• Teams building internal tools from one shared credit pool, with no per-seat fee
• Developers who want generated code synced to their own Git repository

Rork

• Non-developers who want to ship a native app to the App Store or Google Play
• Founders building subscription apps, with RevenueCat paywalls built in
• Developers who want an AI-written Swift or Kotlin codebase to continue in an IDE

Lovable

• Usage is metered in credits, and a Build mode message costs a variable amount depending on the task.
• Free workspaces get 30 build credits a month at most and cannot use custom domains, edit code or remove the Lovable badge.
• SSO, role-based access and internal publishing start on Business, which costs twice as much as Pro for the same credits.
• Lovable builds web apps: publishing deploys to a web URL, not to the App Store or Google Play.

Rork

• The Free plan runs Design mode only: it proposes screens but cannot build, test or publish a working app.
• iPad, Apple Watch and Vision Pro apps, native games and iOS widgets need Rork Max, from $200 a month.
• iOS builds and cloud simulator sessions are charged in credits on top of the message that started them.
• The iPhone app lists Swift and web projects only; Android projects do not appear in it.

Lovable

Prompt-to-app building

Describe an app in chat and Lovable generates working code. Plan mode costs 1 credit per message, while Build mode charges by the complexity of the task.

Lovable Cloud backend

A built-in backend covers database, storage, compute and realtime usage for deployed apps, paid from the same credits. Every plan includes a monthly grant of 20 Cloud credits.

Git sync and code ownership

Each project is a codebase that can sync with GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket on every plan. Editing and downloading code inside Lovable starts on Pro.

Publishing and custom domains

Apps publish to a lovable.app address: 5 domains on Free, unlimited from Pro. Custom domains and removing the Lovable badge need a paid plan.

Connectors and MCP servers

A connector catalog links apps and chats to services such as Slack, HubSpot and Notion, and custom MCP servers can be added for extra context while building.

Shared workspaces

Unlimited members build from one shared credit pool on every plan. Owners can set per-member monthly credit limits on paid plans.

Rork

Native iPhone, Android and web apps

The agent writes SwiftUI for iPhone, Kotlin with Jetpack Compose for Android, and React for the web, and can convert an app between the three platforms.

Design, Plan and Build modes

Design mode proposes screens and a look before any code exists, Plan mode writes a plan for review, and Build mode produces working code on paid plans.

Cloud simulator and device testing

Apps run on a cloud iOS simulator or Android emulator beside the chat. The Rork Max iPhone app installs and runs Swift builds directly on a phone.

Store publishing tools

Rork uploads iPhone builds to TestFlight and the App Store, generates an AAB for Google Play, and includes an AI App Store Reviewer and Screenshot Studio.

Rork Cloud backend

A hosted backend that the agent provisions when an app needs to store data. It is in beta and free during the beta; Supabase and Firebase are also supported.

GitHub sync and code access

A two-way GitHub sync exports the project, and an iPhone app can be opened in Xcode. Editing code by hand in dev mode needs a paid plan.
