Which Should You Pick?

Pick Lovable if...

Non-technical founders who need an MVP fast, or designers who want to turn mockups into working apps without learning to code. Also great for rapid prototyping even if you do know how to code.

Pick Hermes Agent if...

  • ✓Higher output quality (9 vs 6.5)
  • ✓Better value for money (9/10)
  • ✓More features (9 vs 7.5)

Power users and technical teams who will actually use an agent daily, give it real work, and benefit from a learning loop. Teams running it on a real server with Docker or Modal sandboxing get the most out of it. Also the right pick if you care about model sovereignty -- it runs on anything.
