    Keep if

    You're prototyping quickly.. You dislike React/SQL (abstraction).

    Lovable becomes worthwhile when
    • You use it at least once a week
    • The monthly cost ($17.32) is small next to the time it saves you

    Challenge if

    You're building a complex business app.. You need fine code control.

    Lovable becomes too expensive when
    • You use it less than once a month
    • A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
