Bolt.new
Bolt.new – Similar prompt-driven speed to Lovable, spitting out React/Node/Postgres apps and deploying them in one click, great for rapid web prototypes.
Claude
Glide
Glide — My strongest default recommendation for internal business apps because it is exceptionally fast for turning operational data into polished tools, portals, and field apps without a difficult setup curve.
