Build3 vs Lovable

16 October 2026

Both turn a description into a working project. Lovable is aimed at websites and web apps. Build3 builds websites and games, and you pay for credits instead of a subscription.

What you leave with

Lovable is built around websites and web apps. Build3 does those, and it also builds a game someone can open and play.

On both, you describe the thing and look at a preview. On Build3 the conversation stays the way you change it. You are not asked to live in the code.

Who it is aimed at

Lovable is a common choice for founders and product teams shipping a web app. Build3 is for a person who wants the site or the game, including a shop, a booking page, or a game to send around.

If your team already works in Lovable and the job is a web app, stay there. If you want a game, open Build3.

How you pay

Build3 is credits. You buy a pack, unused credits stay, and there is no monthly bill. Lovable sells its own plans. This article does not quote their prices.

A published Build3 project gets a build3.site link, included. Your own domain is a separate unlock. Hosting on that link is not a second subscription.

  • What you make on Build3: websites and games
  • What you make on Lovable: websites and web apps
  • How you change it on Build3: ask in the same conversation
  • Paying on Build3: credits, no subscription
  • Hosting on Build3: a build3.site link is included

Which one to open

Open Build3 when you want a website or a game, a public link, and credits without a monthly fee. Open Lovable when you want that app workflow, your team already uses it, and a game is not part of the job.

There is no import from one into the other. You describe the project again. Build3 is not a Lovable clone. Both start from a prompt.

Start with one sentence.

Describe a website or a game. Build3 takes it from there.
