Turn your Lovable prototype into a real product

What a prototype usually needs before real customers use it

Most AI-built prototypes look finished long before they are. These are the gaps we check for first:

• Saving that only lives in the browser. Answers and plans are often kept on the visitor's own device, so nothing reaches you and nothing survives a new phone.
• Sign-up buttons that do not create accounts. A "save your plan" screen is not the same as secure sign-in, password-free email links and a partner or team invite.
• Database rules. If the prototype uses Supabase, the row-level security rules decide who can read whose data. They are easy to get wrong and hard to notice until something leaks.
• An admin side. Someone has to approve listings, see sign-ups and fix records without asking a developer.
• Emails, payments and integrations. Sign-in links, notifications, Stripe, calendars and CRMs need real accounts, error handling and testing.
• Pages Google can find. Prototype screens are rarely built to rank. Search pages, metadata, sitemaps and page speed are added at build time.

What we keep and what we rebuild

We read your existing code before recommending anything. A full rewrite is never the default, and if your prototype is better kept in Lovable for now, we will tell you.

How it works

1. Send us your Lovable link (or invite us to the project) and a few lines on who it is for.
2. Within 2 business days you get a written list of what to keep, what to rebuild, a timeline and a fixed price.
3. Weekly working builds. You get a link to try on your phone every week, not a big reveal at the end.
4. Launch on your accounts. The repository, hosting, database and domain are in your name from day one.

What it costs

Web applications such as portals, dashboards, directories and booking platforms start at $4,500, and larger custom software from $5,000. Your exact price is fixed in writing after we review the prototype, so you know the cost before any work starts.

Running costs are paid by you directly to the providers. For a typical early-stage app, hosting, database and email come to roughly US$45 to US$70 a month at launch. See what hosting costs for the detail.

When you should keep building in Lovable

If the app is an internal tool for a handful of people, holds no personal or payment data, and you are still changing your mind about the idea every week, staying in Lovable is often the cheaper choice. Move to a production build once you are ready for real users, real data or payments.
