Promino vs Lovable
A designed site, not an AI first draft.
Curated design beats AI guesswork.
- Credit-based pricing - every prompt and revision burns your allowance
- AI output is unpredictable and can look generic or break
- You own the code, but you also have to fix and maintain it
- Hosting, domains and accessibility are left for you to sort out
- Great for prototypes, risky for a customer-facing site
- One flat price per site - no credits, no per-prompt metering
- Every section is professionally designed and consistent by default
- Nothing to code or maintain - you assemble, we handle the rest
- Hosting, custom domain and WCAG-AA accessibility included
- A site that's ready for customers, not just a demo
The real difference
Prompting code isn't the same as design.
Lovable is impressive at turning a prompt into a working app, but a marketing site lives or dies on design, and AI output is a lottery. One prompt gives you something sharp, the next drifts generic or breaks a layout - and every fix spends another credit. Then you still have to host it, wire up a domain and make it accessible.
Promino removes the guesswork. AI helps pick and fill professionally designed sections, but the design itself is curated and consistent every time. No credits, no code to babysit, no hosting to set up, just a finished site you can publish today. See sites built with Promino.
