Who should pick which
Pick Veloxa Build if
- You want hosting that never draws on your AI allowance, so running out of AI cannot take your app or its data offline.
- You want to download your code on the Free plan.
- You want to see what each message cost in dollars, at published rates.
- You also run servers, or plan to: a VeloxaHost VPS from $5/month is billed to the same VeloxaHost account.
Pick Lovable if
- Your app needs a SQL database or edge functions.
- You want two-way GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket sync.
- You need a custom domain or no builder badge today.
- You want unused credits to roll over and the option to top up mid-month.
Switching from Lovable
Veloxa Build has no importer for Lovable projects, so switching means rebuilding your app in Veloxa Build, with the Lovable version as the reference.
How to move
- Get your files out of Lovable: download the code on a paid plan, or sync it to GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket on any plan.
- Start a project in Veloxa Build and attach what you need to your first message: images and logos, text and code files, PDFs. Attachments are saved in your project, and the AI can read the text, code and PDF files you attach.
- Describe the app you want, then refine it by chatting or by clicking elements in the live preview.
- Publish to an address like yourname.veloxa.site, and keep your Lovable app running until the new one does everything you need.
What does not carry over
- Veloxa Build does not run a Lovable project as it is: it writes its own version from your description and the files you attach.
- Data in Lovable's built-in backend (database rows, user accounts, stored files) does not move over. Apps built here use a key-value database, not SQL, so an app built around relational data may need a different design.
- Custom domains in Veloxa Build are coming soon, so for now the rebuilt app is published at an address like yourname.veloxa.site.
Veloxa Build vs Lovable: questions
Is Veloxa Build cheaper than Lovable?
The two Pro plans cost the same, $25 a month, but count AI differently. Veloxa Build Pro includes $20 of AI usage at published per-token rates, and hosting never uses it. Lovable Pro includes 100 credits a month plus 5 a day, and hosting and its built-in backend draw on credits after a monthly grant. Lovable rolls unused monthly credits over; Veloxa Build does not.
Can I use my own domain?
On Lovable, yes, on paid plans. On Veloxa Build, custom domains are coming soon (5 on Pro); today every site is published with HTTPS at an address like yourname.veloxa.site.
Which is better for apps that need a database?
If your app needs a SQL database, Lovable: its built-in backend has one. Apps built with Veloxa Build get built-in user sign-in, file storage and a key-value database, which suits simpler data such as lists, settings and form entries.
Can I take my code with me?
With Veloxa Build, yes, on every plan including Free: download the project as plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Lovable lets you download code on paid plans and sync it with GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket on every plan; Veloxa Build has no GitHub sync.
Can I move a Lovable project to Veloxa Build?
Not automatically: there is no importer. Download or sync your Lovable code, attach the files and images you need to a message in Veloxa Build, and describe the app; it builds its own version. Data in Lovable's backend does not move over.
