Main caveat
Great native app stack, but A/B testing and ad tooling still usually need outside services or custom setup.

| Question | Report verdict and notes |
|---|---|
| Do I need coding knowledge? | No for basic use; code is helpful for advanced polishing. You can start from natural language and keep iterating without being a developer. |
| Database integration | Native. Lovable Cloud includes a built-in database plus auth, storage, and backend services, so you do not need a third party to get started. |
| A/B testing integration | No official native A/B testing feature found in the docs reviewed. Use third-party experimentation tools or custom logic if you need traffic-splitting tests. |
| Ecommerce integration | Official payments support is available through Stripe and Paddle. That covers checkout and billing use cases, though a full store setup may still need app-specific work. |
| Ad integration | Third-party/manual. Ad networks are not a core built-in Lovable feature. |
| SEO integration | Native. Lovable documents support for SEO and GEO basics such as metadata, sitemaps, structured data, and performance-minded output. |
| Analytics integration | Native. Lovable includes project analytics, so you do not have to bolt on a separate analytics stack just to get basic visibility. |
| Can I build by typing a prompt? | Yes. Prompting is a core workflow. |
| Can I edit an existing project with a prompt? | Yes. You can continue editing and extending a project with follow-up prompts. |
| Do I need to buy a domain to go public? | No. You can publish to a Lovable-hosted URL first; a custom domain is optional for a branded launch. |
| How publishing works | Publish to a hosted lovable.app URL, then optionally connect a custom domain on supported plans. Hosting is handled for you. |
| Can I build video games? | Yes, but mainly simple browser games, quizzes, and simulations. It is not a specialized game engine. |
| Can I build surveys that save responses? | Yes. Form-based apps and surveys can save responses to the built-in backend. |
| Can I build multi-user web apps? | Yes. Built-in auth and backend services make multi-user apps realistic. |
| Can I share projects/apps easily? | Easy. Share a live URL and collaborate on the project. |
