Fudge builds Shopify landing pages and edits themes from prompts, and the reasons people look elsewhere are all on its pricing page. It only works with Shopify stores, so anyone on another platform is out. Usage is metered in credits, which means heavy editing costs more. There is no free plan: every plan has a free trial, but it lasts 5 days (14 on Scale), and the entry plan, Basic, is $79 per month, rising to $189 for Growth, $349 for Pro and $700 for Scale.
Lovable is the closer swap if you want prompts to produce working web apps rather than Shopify theme edits. It has a free tier and uses a credit-based plan system, but its starting price is not stated in our verified data. Canva is a different kind of replacement: a design platform with templates and AI tools for graphics, presentations, social posts and video. Its Pro plan is $144 per person per year, with monthly billing also offered, and there is a free tier. Neither edits a Shopify theme directly, so they suit merchants who mainly want page visuals or a standalone site.

Fudge has no free plan, only a free trial of 5 days (14 on Scale). Lovable and Canva are both listed with a free tier in our catalog, though their free limits are not detailed here.
The documented reasons are that it requires a Shopify store, meters usage in credits so heavy editing costs more, and starts at $79 per month on Basic.
Canva Pro is $144 per person per year in our data, and a monthly USD price was not captured. Fudge ranges from $79 to $700 per month, depending on plan.
Only partly. Lovable turns prompts into web apps on a credit system, while Fudge edits Shopify themes and landing pages. Lovable's starting price is not stated in our verified data.
