Both cost $25/mo. The difference is what they do.
Prompt to a full-stack app, deployed in minutes
Different products solving overlapping problems. Lovable spawns a full-stack app from a prompt and ships it to production fast. Replit is a full IDE plus hosting plus database — broader scope, more friction, but more you can do once you're inside it.
Lovable and Replit are alternatives in the App builders category. Lovable: Prompt to a full-stack app, deployed in minutes. Replit: Cloud IDE with the Replit Agent. Both cost $25/mo.

Neither. Both start at $25/mo.
Prompt to a full-stack app, deployed in minutes. It sits in the app builders category, and ships in 1 tested stack here.
Cloud IDE with the Replit Agent. It sits in the ai ides category, and ships in 1 tested stack here.
They are alternatives at the same step, so most stacks pick one or the other. No aistack.sh stack uses both today, though nothing prevents a custom workflow.
Beyond each other, Lovable's closest alternatives are v0. Replit's closest alternatives are v0.
