GlideDesign users run into three limits. The Free tier is capped at 100 weekly credits, which gives only a handful of generations a week. Free pages carry the GlideDesign badge, so they are not client-ready. And custom domains and all exports are paid, so the Free tier cannot publish branded sites. Weekly credit caps apply on every plan, and an account is required.
Lovable is an AI app builder that turns prompts into working web apps on a credit-based plan system; it has a free tier and no starting price in our data.
