Lovable vs Relume

Short answer: choose Lovable for database-backed MVPs and internal tools where accounts and data matter more than the look. Choose Relume for designers and agencies who want a fast sitemap and wireframes to refine in Figma or Webflow. If what you need is a website that looks professionally designed, neither is built for that: Orlume is.

L

Lovable

lovable.dev

An AI app builder that turns a chat into a full-stack web app, with a React, TypeScript and Tailwind front end and a Supabase back end for accounts, data and storage.

Best for: Database-backed MVPs and internal tools where accounts and data matter more than the look.

R

Relume

relume.ai

An AI tool that turns a prompt into a sitemap and then into wireframes from its component library, for export to Figma or Webflow.

Best for: Designers and agencies who want a fast sitemap and wireframes to refine in Figma or Webflow.

Orlume

The design-first option

A design-first AI website builder: a multi-agent pipeline decides layout, typography and hierarchy before any code is written, then builds a React and Next.js site.

Best for: Landing pages, SaaS marketing sites, portfolios and startup websites that need to look professionally designed, not AI-generated.

When to choose Lovable

Choose Lovable when the product is mainly a database-backed app with sign-ups and stored data, and the design of the marketing pages is secondary.

Lovable and Relume, reviewed honestly

Lovable

Lovable · Stockholm, founded 2023

Free plan
5 build credits a day, capped at 30 a month; no custom domain or code download, and the Lovable badge stays on.
Paid plans
Pro is $25/mo billed monthly ($21/mo yearly) for 100 monthly credits, custom domains, badge removal, code editing and download.

Known for

  • Plan Mode: a chat mode for planning a change before building it, at a flat 1 credit a message.
  • Lovable Cloud: a built-in back end and hosting, metered by its own pool of Cloud credits.
  • Git sync: keeps the project's code in GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket.

What it does well

  • It builds real full-stack apps, with accounts, a database and storage, from a chat.
  • Code syncs to GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket, so you are not locked into the platform.
  • Plans scale from 100 to 10,000 monthly credits, with per-member limits for teams.

Where it falls short

  • Users report credits draining in loops while the AI tries to fix its own bugs.
  • The cost of a prompt varies with the task, so monthly spend is hard to predict.
  • Sites tend to share one look, and design quality depends on how well you prompt it.

Prices checked October 2026 on Lovable's pricing page. Plans change often; check there before you buy.

Relume

Relume · Australia, founded 2021

Free plan
Free forever with limited AI use, unlimited projects and hosting on a relume.live subdomain capped at 1,500 views a month.
Paid plans
Pro for the AI builder starts at $14/mo, likely on yearly billing; export plans start at $18/mo and hosting is extra.

Known for

  • Turns a brief into an editable sitemap and wireframes from its component library.
  • Exports to Figma, Webflow or React with Tailwind and shadcn/ui.
  • Relume Publish: its own hosting with a custom domain, in beta.

What it does well

  • The sitemap step lets you shape every page before any design work starts.
  • A library of 1,000+ components exports as real Figma, Webflow and React components.
  • The free plan is permanent, not a trial.

Where it falls short

  • Reviewers describe the output as a structural starting point that still needs real design work.
  • Builder, export and hosting are priced separately, so the total is hard to read.
  • Pages come out component-driven and generic until a designer restyles them.

Prices checked October 2026 on Relume's pricing page. Plans change often; check there before you buy.

The third option

Why designers pick Orlume over both

  1. 01

    Orlume decides the design first, in its own pass, so pages do not fall back on the same hero, three feature cards and pricing table.

  2. 02

    Relume stops at wireframes; Orlume goes from one prompt to a finished, styled site.

  3. 03

    Dream Mode builds an animated, custom bento grid with real hierarchy and an embedded product video in one click.
