FAQ
Is InBuild's AI as good as Lovable's?
Both produce high-quality first drafts. The difference is in the iteration model: Lovable regenerates; InBuild patches. Patching preserves your edits, which matters more as your project grows.
Does InBuild have a free tier like Lovable?
Yes. 3 projects with AI generation and code export — no credit card, no export gate.
