If you’re testing AI website builders and want to get the most out of your limited daily credits, you’re not alone. We recently put Wonderish and Lovable through a 3-part comparison to see how they stack up under different usage scenarios. From quick one-word tests to building a full homepage, here’s how they performed.
Overview: How Both Platforms Work
Both platforms let you create websites by simply describing what you want — or what we like to call vibe prompting. You’re not coding or setting things up manually, just giving the general idea and letting the AI handle the rest.
Lovable is geared toward developers or advanced users. It can build full-stack apps, set up database integrations, and handle backend logic. That flexibility is powerful, but it also brings in more complexity. Some of its prompts even mention tools like Supabase and GitHub Sync.
Wonderish is designed for speed and simplicity. It’s especially appealing for small business owners who just want a good-looking site up quickly. The process starts with a text overview of what the site will include, followed by a proposed style guide (color palette and typography). This also acts like a lightweight brand guide. You can approve or regenerate the style until it feels right, then the platform builds the rest — often with relevant placeholder images already in place.
1. Realistic Prompt Test: Niche Business Site
Prompt Used:
“a webpage for my retro console repair business, i repair nintendo, sega, sony consoles pre 2005”
Wonderish
- Strong layout and design right out of the box
- Text and spacing felt intentional and clear
- Included relevant placeholder visuals
Lovable
- Simple and usable layout
- No visuals or standout styling
- Felt more like a starting point for developers
Verdict:
Verdict: Wonderish was the better pick here for anyone who just wants something usable and good-looking with minimal effort — especially if you’re more into vibe prompting than setting up things piece by piece.
2. Raw Output Comparison (1-Word Prompt)
Prompt Used:
“Woodworking”
Wonderish
- Visually engaging layout
- Good typography and color choices
- Included images and a smooth-feeling design
Lovable
- This time, included images
- Layout was clean but generic
- Less visual impact overall
Verdict:
Both produced usable outputs, but Wonderish once again delivered a more complete-looking website without any extra prompts.
3. First-time User Experience
Prompt Used:
“I’m planning to start a small business selling custom cakes for events like birthdays and weddings. I need a one-page website created. Please generate all the text content and layout for it. Include: a main headline and subheadline, hero section with a short blurb and call to action, service description, two customer testimonials, about section, and contact section. Make it friendly, clean, and easy to read. Assume I’m just starting out and don’t have any fancy branding yet.”
Wonderish
- Had relevant images from the start
- Missed one nav link (Home), but it was easy to fix
- The logo in the top-left didn’t scroll to the top by default, but it was fixed with a quick prompt
- Text-based setup was straightforward and efficient
Lovable
- Navbar links worked by default, though the company name in the top-left didn’t scroll to the top as expected
- Added random stock images when prompted
- Layout was clean but impersonal
Verdict:
Wonderish needed small adjustments, but produced a more visually aligned and user-friendly result overall.
Final Thoughts: Who’s It For?
| Use Case | Recommended Platform |
| You want a simple, polished site with less effort | Wonderish |
| You need advanced features like databases and custom logic | Lovable |
Lovable is clearly powerful, especially for developers building highly customized or backend-heavy experiences. But for anyone who isn’t trying to build a full-stack application — or doesn’t even know what that means — Wonderish is the most beautiful, easiest to use, and fastest way to get professional results.
Try Them Yourself:
If you’re starting a business and need a site up quickly — without worrying about image sourcing, styling, or technical steps — a visual-first, vibe prompting website builder like Wonderish is probably the better fit.
