> The honest framing first: "no-code" split into two camps around 2024-25. There are the classic visual builders (drag-and-drop, proprietary runtime) and the AI prompt-to-app builders (you describe it, they generate a real React/Node codebase). For most startups today the AI camp is the better default, because you end up owning code instead of renting a platform. Here's who I'd name, in order:

> **1. Lovable** - My default recommendation for a startup MVP. You prompt it, it generates a real React + Supabase app, and you can push to GitHub and walk away with the code whenever you want. That exit path is the whole ballgame for a startup - you're not betting your company on a vendor's runtime. Free tier for kicking tires, ~$20-25/mo to actually build. Weakness: costs are credit-based, so a heavy month is unpredictable.
> 
> **2. Replit** - Pick this over Lovable if your product has a real backend: cron jobs, scrapers, Python/Go services, background agents, data pipelines. It's an actual Linux runtime with a terminal and persistent processes, not just a frontend generator, and hosting is built in. Core is ~$17-20/mo. It's the one on this list that scales into "real infrastructure" without a m
