Our take
Lovable and Meku target different platforms — Lovable generates web applications while Meku focuses on mobile apps. This fundamental difference makes the choice straightforward in most cases: if you need a web app, use Lovable; if you need a mobile app, use Meku. Lovable's web application generation is more mature, with better handling of complex features like authentication flows, database operations, real-time subscriptions, and multi-page navigation. Its conversational refinement process allows sophisticated iteration on features and design. Meku's mobile focus means it understands mobile-specific patterns better — navigation paradigms, gesture handling, platform-specific UI conventions, and mobile performance optimization. Meku provides visual editing tools that let users customize generated mobile app screens, which Lovable does not offer for its web apps (Lovable's refinement is conversational rather than visual). For teams that need both web and mobile presence, these tools could complement each other — Lovable for the web application and Meku for the mobile counterpart. Neither tool handles the other's platform well. Lovable's generated web apps are responsive but not native mobile apps. Meku's mobile apps do not include web versions. Both platforms are evolving and may expand their platform coverage over time. Currently, the platform target (web vs mobile) is the primary decision factor.
