Lovable does not build native mobile apps⁠1FAQLovable Docs. FlutterFlow is built for little else, which makes it the most common destination for teams whose prototype now has to live in the App Store and Google Play⁠2Build an app by describing itFlutterFlow.

Best for: Teams whose Lovable alternative has to be a real iOS and Android app, built visually or by description, with Flutter code they can download and keep.

Not the right fit for: Web-first business systems, or teams that want the backend chosen and run for them.

What FlutterFlow does

FlutterFlow builds apps by description or visually, plans and checks each screen, and produces one build for the App Store and Google Play. It includes a built-in backend option, sign-in and files⁠2Build an app by describing itFlutterFlow. Apps can also run on a Firebase or Supabase project that the customer owns; the Supabase setup covers the database and authentication⁠3Supabase setupFlutterFlow Docs. Apps can be deployed to the App Store from within the platform with an Apple Developer membership⁠4Apple App Store deploymentFlutterFlow Docs.

Code you can keep

Source-code download and one-click store deployment are included from the Basic plan, and push to GitHub from Pro⁠5PricingFlutterFlow. A command-line tool also exports the code, optionally as a Flutter module⁠6Exporting projectsFlutterFlow Docs. That makes FlutterFlow one of the more portable options here, alongside Replit, v0 and Dyad.

The points to check

The backend is the customer's to set up and pay for when it runs on Firebase or Supabase⁠3Supabase setupFlutterFlow Docs. AI use is an allowance that grows by plan, with refills on Pro and Max, and SSO and audit logs are listed under Enterprise⁠5PricingFlutterFlow. FlutterFlow's documentation names its plans differently from its pricing page, so the current plan should be confirmed before buying.

Published evidence

No case studies with named customers are published.

Strengths and limits

Strengths

• Mobile is the core product, with one-click store deployment on paid plans.
• The code is portable: source download on Basic and above, push to GitHub on Pro and above, and a command-line export.
• The backend is the customer’s own Firebase or Supabase project, which keeps the data in an account the company controls.

Limits

• The backend is the customer’s to set up and pay for; Firebase needs billing enabled for functions and storage.
• AI usage is an allowance that grows by plan, with refills only on Pro and Max.
• SSO and audit logs are Enterprise features.
• Its pricing page and its documentation name different plans, so check the current plan before buying.

Choose another option if: The app is web-first, or nobody will run a Firebase or Supabase project. Bubble or Bolt include more of the backend.

Pricing

Published: Free; Basic $39, Pro $80 and Max $150 a month billed monthly ($29, $60 and $113 billed yearly). Enterprise on request.

Questions to ask FlutterFlow

• Which backend do you recommend for our data, and who runs it?
• What does the exported Flutter code depend on outside FlutterFlow?
• How much AI use does each plan include in practice?
• Is a web version of the same app supported, and how well?
