Thinking of leaving Lovable? Here is an honest comparison.
Both build working apps from a chat. PiPilot keeps your projects in your own Google Drive, builds more than websites, and starts at $20 a month for 25 premium prompts every day.
Free plan: 5 AI prompts a day, no card · Pilot $20/month

Where Lovable is stronger.
If one of these matters most to you, stay where you are. We would rather you choose well.
- A much larger catalogue of connectors (data warehouses, CRMs, cloud providers) and a custom REST connector.
- Enterprise controls such as SSO, SCIM, audit-log export and EU-only AI processing.
- Long-running "goal mode" that keeps working on one request for hours.
What you get with PiPilot.
- Your projects stay yours
- Every project and chat is saved in a private folder in your own Google Drive. If you leave, your work is already in your account.
- More than websites
- Build Expo mobile apps, desktop and native apps, slide decks, narrated videos and podcasts from the same chat.
- Predictable daily allowance
- Paid plans get a fixed number of premium prompts every day, then unlimited standard prompts, instead of a monthly pot you can burn in a week.
