Extinde's drawbacks are mostly about credits. The free tier has only 25, usage per extension is hard to predict, top-ups are closed to Free users, and the manual code editor needs Pro at $49.99 per month. Monetization through marketplace payouts starts at Builder, $19.99 per month.
Lovable and Replit are broader app builders rather than extension specialists. Lovable turns natural-language prompts into working web apps with a credit-based plan system, and has a free tier; its starting price is not stated in our verified data. Replit's agent builds, hosts and publishes an app from a chat description; Core is $20 per month billed monthly, and a free option exists. Choose Replit if you want hosting included, Lovable if you are comfortable with credits again.
