You're down to two tools and both their sites sound right. We read everything those sites say the tools can do, date it and cite it, then open ordinary accounts and do the same jobs in both. Where we recorded it, you watch it. Where we couldn't confirm it, the page tells you.
Every vendor page tells you what the tool can do. We log all of it, dated and cited, then open ordinary accounts and do those same jobs on camera. We don't edit the recordings and they sit on the page. A page without them says so.
What we compared, what we found and where the recordings are. No weekly digest and you can leave any time.
Your address gets these emails and nothing more. Open an account later and it's what signs you in.
A ✓ means we found it documented on the day we scanned. A ✗ means the product won't do it for you. A — means we couldn't confirm it either way. You always know which one you're reading.
| Capability | Tool A | Tool B |

Each page names its winner and hands you the one line you'll repeat to your cofounder. The limits are on the page too, so you know what you're giving up before you pay.
Tool A does it for you. Tool B hands you the controls.

The visual-programming incumbent against the AI-native builder: same four jobs done in both — interfaces, databases, Stripe, AI generation — plus who each one is really for, what it costs you, and the full capability scan.
Two AI app builders that tie on nearly every row. What differs is everything around the app: Base44 keeps the backend, the workflows and the agents on its platform, and Lovable hands you the codebase — recorded in both on August 29, 2026, priced and cited.
Two prompt boxes, one brief: a tool-lending app built in both on September 1, 2026, published live and pressed end to end. Lovable ships the finished app on one credit pool. Replit ships the machine under it: a shell, any language, your existing repos, and a printed rate card.
Two ways to buy the same first hour. Base44 puts the mailer, the workflow engine, the permission rules and session replay inside the plan. Replit puts a shell, any language and a printed rate card under the app. Both entry plans cost $20 — checked across 54 capabilities on September 4, 2026.
Compare how Base44 and Bubble build apps, what you pay, and which fits your plans. Includes an answer finder and editor recordings.
