## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-28 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short version
> 
> The category split in two. "No-code" used to mean visual drag-and-drop editors; now the default starting point for most startups is an **AI app builder** that writes real code you own. I'd start there unless you have a specific reason not to.
> 
> **AI builders (start here)**
> 
> 1. **Lovable** - my default recommendation for a non-technical founder building a web MVP. You describe the app, it generates clean React + TypeScript, wires up Supabase for database/auth and Stripe for payments, and you own and can export the code. $25/mo Pro (~200 credits), $50/mo Business, free tier to try. The big advantage over classic no-code: when you eventually hire an engineer, they inherit a normal codebase instead of a proprietary platform.

> 2. **Replit** - pick this if you're technically curious and want to read and edit the code. Real backend (Postgres), built-in hosting and deployment, agent that builds autonomously. ~$20-25/mo on effort-based credits. Better than Lovable if you want to graduate into actually programming.
