Lovable Cloud vs while: which one to choose when your AI agent deploys?

What changes between Lovable Cloud and while

What matters	Lovable Cloud	while
Who it’s for	People who create an app by chatting with Lovable1	People who build their apps with an AI agent, solo or as a team
Your AI agent	The Lovable MCP server, on every plan	Connected over MCP, with OAuth: it deploys, creates the database, reads the logs and fixes things
What protects production	The published site only changes when you click Publish, with an approval before publishing on the Enterprise plan1,6. The database, however, changes live	Sensitive actions, like deleting a production database, wait for a person
The database	PostgreSQL, one backup per day kept for about 14 days3	PostgreSQL in while, backed up every day, with point-in-time recovery over 14 days8
Who opens your app	Public, invite-only (ten people per project on Free and Pro), or the workspace and SSO on Business6,7	Everyone, a password, or the company account with the Pro plan
In France	No, a Europe region at best2	Yes, with Nextmap, a French company
To get started	Free, then Pro at €25 per month5	A trial without an account. Then €0 to get started, and €13.75 per month for an app and its database

Lovable Cloud, the shortest path from idea to app

You describe your app, Lovable builds it, and one click deploys it, database, sign-in and storage included^1,2. The code stays yours: it syncs with GitHub on every plan⁴.

With while, your AI agent does the rest

• Your colleagues sign in with the company account. Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, with no account to create and no ten-person limit.
• Your agent deploys, over MCP. Claude Code, Cursor or Codex take your app’s code and deploy it, database included.
• Nothing serious happens without you. Deleting a production database waits for your approval, before it runs.
• Your data stays in France. With Nextmap, a French company, backed up every day.
• A mistake is quickly undone. In the 30 minutes after a deployment, the previous version comes back in a second, and your database goes back to a precise moment.

Moving from Lovable Cloud to while

Take over your Lovable app

Your agent fetches the code synced to GitHub, writes while.yaml and deploys the app: every path lands on the right page.

Copy your database

Your agent loads the Lovable Cloud export into a while PostgreSQL database. The accounts, the files and the functions are moved separately.

Replace the sign-in

Your agent restricts the app to your company, and your colleagues sign in with the account they already have.

Which one to choose

• Choose Lovable Cloud to build and try out your app, solo or with a few people.
• Choose while when your colleagues or your customers use it for real, with the company account, in France.
