Lovable is powerful, but built for apps

Lovable is a great tool for building apps. If you run a small business and just need a website that works, you may be paying for more than you need.

You get code, not just a website

Lovable gives you the source code of an app. That is great if you want to hand it to a developer. Many small businesses just need a site that works, with nothing to maintain.

A contact form is something you build

On Lovable a contact form is app code wired to an email service such as Resend. On ChilledSites every site has a contact form that emails you, with the enquirer as reply-to.

The price gap

Lovable Pro is $25/month. ChilledSites Pro is £9/month and includes the AI build, hosting and a free domain.

What happens after launch

ChilledSites adds an enquiries inbox, automatic replies, spam filtering and a checklist for getting found on Google and AI assistants. We could not find these in Lovable's public docs.
