Seven of eight AI app builders say they support role-based access. The roles govern your teammates, not the users of the app you shipped. A criteria-based comparison of both layers across Lovable, Bolt.new, Replit, Base44, Bubble, Softr, v0 and Webflow.
Every AI app builder has an undo button. Most of them rewind your code and leave your database exactly where it was. We compare what eight builders actually document about restoring data, in their own words.
Eight AI app builders, three mechanisms for keeping an API key out of the browser, and a read-back rule that splits them three ways. Verified against primary vendor docs.
Every AI app builder says it has analytics. Three genuinely different products share the word: one measures your bill, one measures that people arrived, and one measures what they actually did. Eight builders compared on which you get, whether it records events, and how long the data survives.
Every AI app builder accepts a file. Almost none of them store it where you think. Eight builders compared on whose bucket holds the bytes, whether a file URL is the only permission protecting it, and what survives a delete, an export and a move.
Every AI app builder can run code. Far fewer can run it on a clock that survives your browser closing. Eight builders compared on whether background work runs unattended, where the schedule is actually stored, and whose permissions it runs under.
Every AI app builder can send an email. What separates them is whose domain is in the From field, who your app is permitted to email at all, and how many you get per hour. Eight builders compared from primary vendor documentation.
Push is three jobs, not one: get a device token, store it against a user, and send. Eight AI app builders compared on the middle job, the one that decides whether a notification ever arrives, from primary vendor documentation.
An independent 2026 comparison of what each AI app builder lets you change in a shipped mobile app without a new store review, and where every tool draws the same native boundary.
No AI app builder submits your app to the App Store or Google Play. A primary-source comparison of how far up the build, sign, upload, submit pipeline each one carries you, and the two store gates that no tool can shorten.
All eight AI app builders support custom domains, so the column reads Yes eight times and answers nothing. A primary-source comparison of the three axes that actually decide it: the plan gate, where your DNS terminates, and what freezes when you downgrade.
Every AI app builder can take a payment. The real question is who becomes the legal seller and who takes a cut first. A primary-source comparison of eight builders sorted into four money-path tiers, from own-processor to merchant of record to app-store billing.
