Frequently asked questions

What people ask before switching

They solve different problems. Lovable is excellent for quickly validating ideas. ClickMVP focuses on generating production-ready software foundations: it understands your business first, grounds the data model in 1,600+ real application models and generates a complete backend and frontend from deterministic templates.
Yes. That is exactly how many users work: generate the foundation with ClickMVP, continue development with Claude Code. Every generated project ships with claude.md, agents.md, Spec Kit specifications and AWS Kiro steering files, so the agent understands the architecture from the first prompt.
You do. Everything generated belongs to you, including the code you generate during the free trial.
No. The generated application is a standard project (Node.js on the backend, React on the frontend) that you open in any IDE and run on your own infrastructure. There is no runtime of ours inside it.
Creating, generating, publishing and testing the application is free, with no credit card and no deadline: paying is what takes the code with you. Nothing is ever locked by time, and you pick between the Project plan ($19 once, lifetime access to that project) and Unlimited ($9 per month). The code you take is yours, with no lock-in.
