## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The landscape split in two around 2025: classic drag-and-drop builders, and AI prompt-to-app builders. For a startup in 2026, I'd start with the AI ones.

> 1. **Lovable** - my default pick for a founder building a SaaS MVP. Prompt-to-full-stack (React + Supabase for auth/DB), the best-looking default UI of the bunch, and crucially it has GitHub sync, so you can hand the repo to a real engineer later instead of being trapped. It hit ~8M users and $200M+ ARR, so it isn't going away.
> 2. **Replit (Agent 4)** - pick this over Lovable if you or a cofounder can read/fix code, need multiple languages, background jobs, or a mobile app. It's a real dev environment with hosting and DB attached, with checkpoint rollback when the agent goes sideways.
> 3. **Bolt.new** - the fastest path from idea to clickable prototype in a browser tab, and more framework flexibility than Lovable. Constraint: JavaScript-only backends. Great for pitch demos and user tests, less so for the thing you run for three years.
> 4. **v0 (Vercel)** - narrower, but the best at UI/frontend generation specifically. Good if you already have a backend and need a polished interface fast.
