Build it with an AI app builder
You'd rather describe the product than write it. You'll build in an AI app builder, and you want the pieces it wires up for you — so the result works on day one and a developer can take it over later.
44 makers' products and 27 open-source projects use at least half of these 5 tools.The picks
AI App Builders
Builds a full web app from a description and connects the services below from its own integrations, with the code synced to GitHub so you're never locked in.
Chosen for AI app builders by 73 makers' products we track · the alternatives →Database
The database Lovable, Bolt and v0 all set up for you — Postgres you can open, query and export, not a black box.
Chosen for database by 563 makers' products we track · the alternatives →Authentication
Sign-in comes with the same Supabase project, so the builder wires users and their data together in one step.
Chosen for authentication by 13 makers' products we track · the alternatives →Payments
Every major builder has a Stripe integration, so checkout and subscriptions come from a prompt rather than a weekend of glue code.
Chosen for payments by 869 makers' products we track · the alternatives →Transactional Email
What builders reach for when you ask for email — welcome messages, sign-in links, notifications.
Chosen for transactional email by 942 makers' products we track · the alternatives →LLM API
One of the models Lovable's built-in AI connector calls, so AI features work without bringing your own key; bring OpenAI or Claude when you need them.
Chosen for LLM API by 99 makers' products we track · the alternatives →What this costs you
Builders are fastest for the first version and slowest when the app gets unusual — complex permissions, background work, performance. Keep the GitHub sync on from the start, so when you outgrow prompts, a developer (or a coding agent like Claude Code or Cursor) picks up real code on the same Supabase and Stripe accounts.
