HITCREATE vs LOVABLE
Lovable ships you a codebase. HitCreate ships you customers. They solve different problems — most buyers don't realise that until after they pick.
| Axis | Lovable | HitCreate |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | A codebase generated by AI | A customer-acquisition loop running in production |
| Hero promise | "Build something Lovable" | "We run the loop" |
| After the form fires | Not their problem — you wire Zapier + Mailchimp + spreadsheet | Form → reply → CRM → follow-up → feedback, in one platform |
| Brand across surfaces | Not a concept | brand.json enforces voice, type, colour everywhere |
| CRM included | No | Yes (lightweight, plays with HubSpot/Pipedrive) |
| Messaging surfaces (SMS/WhatsApp/Slack) | You wire them yourself | Surface B native — one brain, four channels |
| MCP / Claude / ChatGPT integration | No | Surface C — primitives addressable from your AI client |
| Self-host path | You own the code; hosting is on you | Public schemas, Docker compose, first migration free |
| Vertical context | Generic templates | Per-vertical KB (golf-sim, trades, sales) baked in |
| Live engagements | Template gallery | Named clients (Tee Off, Closr, hitcreate-review) running today |
| Pricing | $25 / $50 / Enterprise | $29 / $79 / $499 / from $500 |
When to pick Lovable
You need a generated codebase. You're going to host it yourself, wire your own CRM, set up your own follow-up cadence, build your own brand-coherence layer. You enjoy that work, or you have an engineer who does.
When to pick HitCreate
You need customers. You don't want to wire Zapier-Mailchimp-spreadsheet-Hubspot together. You want the form, reply, CRM entry, follow-up, and feedback as one platform that respects your brand and exports cleanly when you want out.
