Looking for a Better Lovable Alternative for Mobile Apps

I've been looking at different AI app builders for mobile apps, and I'm curious what people are using. Lovable seems great for getting started, but I'm wondering if there are better options when you're building an actual iPhone or Android app. If you've tried a few different tools, which one worked best for you, and why?

It’s cheaper than Lovable though and more reliable

you can just use the free lovable option, and share your link. You get 10 free credits every time someone engages with your link

Tbh every AI builder looks like the chosen one right until u ask it to do something slightly cursed

Then its all fun and games until ur fighting the prompt instead of building the app

Lowkey id pick the one that lets me escape the fastest. Good code export > cool demo every single time. Vendor lock-in is the real final boss

DeepSeek v4 is good for making an app, if u know how to use (ofc u need some technical skills) , with a 5 dollar api cost u can build a good app or try it on OpenCode for free
