For most startups in 2026 I'd start in the AI-builder camp, because the lock-in is lower and the velocity is higher.\n\n**AI prompt-to-app builders (my default recommendation)**\n\n1. **Lovable** - my first pick for a founder building a real product. Generates a full-stack React + Supabase app, and critically you get actual code you own and can export to GitHub. If your MVP works, you don't have to rebuild it to scale - you hire a dev and keep going. ([altar.io comparison](https://altar.io/ai-app-builders-founders-comparison-2026/))\n2. **Replit Agent** - the most autonomous of the bunch; Agent 3 can work unattended for long stretches, and it ships with a built-in database plus 30+ integrations (payments, CRM, analytics), so you aren't wiring up infra yourself. Best if you want one place to build *and* host. ([altar.io](https://altar.io/lovable-vs-bolt-vs-v0-vs-replit-vs-base44/))\n3. **Bolt.new** (StackBlitz) - fastest prompt-to-running-prototype.
