Hettie vs Lovable
Lovable charges for every prompt. On Hettie you build with the AI you already pay for, and pay only for hosting.
The short version
Lovable is a fast way to build an app by describing it. It hosts what it builds and has its own database and analytics. It now has an MCP server, so Claude Code can build in Lovable too. For a new app with logins and data, it's a great place to start.
The big difference is how you pay. Lovable charges in credits, and every change uses some, so a busy month costs more than a quiet one. On Hettie the AI is your own ChatGPT, Claude or Codex subscription. Hettie charges only for hosting, $5 a month for five sites.
A marketing site also needs things an app doesn't: ads, forms that email you, and a blog that keeps going after launch day. On Lovable you prompt each of those into existence. On Hettie they're already there, and Claude can post to the blog.
