Standout
Lovable Speed from prompt to deployed-and-running full-stack app with auth + database, in roughly 10 minutes.
v0 First-pass design quality that looks intentional, not generated. Tab autocomplete-quality for full components.
Known weakness
Lovable Output is prototype-grade, not production-scale. Backend logic depth is shallow for complex apps.
v0 No backend / database / auth. Vercel-stack lock-in. Iteration cost grows past first-pass.
