Lander vs Lovable.

Lovable hosts your AI-generated app on their shared infrastructure. Lander generates AND deploys to your own AWS Fargate stack with WAF, per-customer isolation, and a free plan that permits commercial use.

Lovable.dev is a chat-driven full-stack builder — describe an app, Lovable writes the code, deploys it to a `*.lovable.app` subdomain, and bundles a Supabase database. The DX is genuinely good for building a working prototype in 10 minutes.

Lander overlaps with Lovable on the front of the funnel: chat with Claude, watch a live preview, click any element to edit it. Where the two diverge is what happens after you hit deploy. Lovable runs your app on their shared platform; you can connect a custom domain but the runtime is theirs. Lander provisions an isolated AWS VPC + Fargate task per customer — your app lives on real AWS, with WAF + ALB + ACM in front, billed transparently.

Pricing-wise: Lovable's Pro is $25/mo for ~100 messages and one custom domain. Lander's Pro is $75/mo and includes 20 Claude Sonnet 4.6 turns + a real Fargate site + WAF + Bug Hunter on every plan. Different tiers, different products — Lovable optimizes for messages-per-month, Lander for production-readiness.

[pick · lander · when]
  • →You're shipping a real production app where downtime / WAF / isolation matter
  • →You want the bill to live in your own AWS account (Team tier)
  • →You need WAF + OWASP rules for compliance — without paying Enterprise
  • →You already have a backend (Postgres on Neon, etc.) and don't want to migrate to Supabase
[stick with · lovable · when]
  • →You're prototyping fast and want a bundled Supabase database wired up automatically
  • →You prefer messages-per-month pricing over per-site pricing
  • →You want the lovable.app subdomain pattern (no DNS setup)
  • →You're earlier in the build phase and don't yet need WAF / per-customer isolation
[migrating from lovable → lander]
  1. 01Export your Lovable project to GitHub (Lovable supports this in-app)
  2. 02If you're using Lovable's bundled Supabase, decide whether to keep it (Supabase URL + key go into env vars on Lander) or migrate to Postgres on Neon
  3. 03Sign up at lander.host/onboard, install the GitHub App, point it at the exported repo
  4. 04Lander auto-detects React/Vite/Next.js and provisions accordingly. WAF + isolation are on by default — no extra config
[FAQ]
Q. Is Lander's chat builder as fast as Lovable for prototyping?Lovable's been iterating on the chat-builder DX longer and ships polished defaults (Supabase wired up, deployed in seconds to lovable.app). Lander's builder is younger but the differentiator is what happens after — you can deploy to real AWS Fargate with WAF in the same flow. For pure prototyping, Lovable is faster; for shipping the prototype to production, Lander is the upgrade path.
Q. Can I move a Lovable project to Lander?Yes. Lovable lets you export to GitHub. Once it's a normal repo, Lander provisions a Fargate site for it the same way it does any GitHub repo. The bundled Supabase database keeps working — you'd just point the env vars at it from Lander.
Q. Why would I pay $75/mo for Lander Pro vs $25/mo for Lovable Pro?Different products. Lovable Pro gives you ~100 messages/month for prototyping. Lander Pro gives you a production-ready Fargate site (real AWS, WAF, BYO domain, Bug Hunter, click-to-edit Claude with 20 turns/mo). If you're past the prototype stage and shipping for paying customers, the platforms answer different questions.
