Why switch from Open Lovable?
Popular (~28.7k GitHub stars, MIT) and the fastest way to turn an existing site into an editable React app. It's an example app rather than a full product: no hosting, database or auth built in, and you need three separate services set up before the first prompt.
The alternatives in detail
