Lovable builds new apps. MakeThemCode updates the one you have.
Vibe coding for non-tech collaborators in your git repository, with your rules.
Side by side
Starting point
Lovable:A new project generated from a prompt. It cannot start from an existing repository.
MakeThemCode:Your existing website and its GitHub repository.
Where the code lives
Lovable:In Lovable, synced to a new repository it creates.
MakeThemCode:In your own GitHub repository, from the first commit.
Your stack
Lovable:Lovable's own stack, no choice of framework or database.
MakeThemCode:Any web app that runs in Docker: we analyze your repository and set up the cloud sandbox for you.
Review
Lovable:None by default: every change is pushed as it is made.
MakeThemCode:Developers set rules on files: allowed, requires review or forbidden.
What you end up with
Lovable:A new app to host, or to move into your codebase.
MakeThemCode:Commits and pull requests, deployed by your usual CI/CD.
Which one should you pick?
They don't really compete: each one is great at something different.
Pick Lovable if
you start from scratch and want a working prototype by tonight. It's really good at that, and MakeThemCode doesn't try to replace it.
Pick MakeThemCode if
your website already exists, real users depend on it, and the people asking for changes are not developers.
Try it on your own website.
You'll see why it's better.
