Caspio: The Lovable Alternative
The prototype took a weekend. Then the conversation shifted to compliance, security, and who signs the BAA. That's where many projects reach a decision point.
Caspio is an AI platform for building custom business apps and the Lovable alternative for regulated work: Caspi builds your app from a description inside infrastructure carrying annually certified HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR compliance, a customer BAA, and unlimited users on every plan.
Is Lovable HIPAA-Compliant? Can It Sign a BAA?
As of September 2026, Lovable publishes no Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and no HIPAA offering on any plan. Its Terms of Service, updated August 28, 2026, prohibit providing protected health information through the service unless a separate written agreement expressly permits it, and no such HIPAA agreement is publicly offered.
Lovable is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified. Those are real credentials, with full reports shared under NDA as is standard across the industry. What they certify is Lovable's own service: the builder. They do not cover the application you generate, its database, its hosting, or the protected health information flowing through it.
The backend makes the gap concrete. A Lovable app runs either on Lovable Cloud, Supabase infrastructure operated by Lovable with no published BAA, or on your own Supabase project, where Supabase signs a BAA only on its Team plan or above with a paid HIPAA add-on, and that agreement covers the database layer alone, not the Lovable-hosted frontend or the builder. Either way, organizations may need to manage multiple agreements and responsibilities across the application stack.
Caspio closes that chain. Your organization signs one BAA with Caspio through the published HIPAA add-on, and HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR compliance controls are independently certified every year. Caspio's HIPAA-eligible AI features operate under signed Business Associate Agreements. Caspio delivers a compliant app in a compliant environment, and the same security, reliability, and scalability serve any company that values them, regulated or not.

Moving From Lovable to Caspio: What It Actually Involves
Data model. Lovable exports a React codebase: GitHub sync is available on every plan, and paid plans add a full code download. If your app runs on your own Supabase project, the Postgres schema and data are yours to take with standard database tooling. If it runs on Lovable Cloud, the data layer is Lovable-operated; confirm your export path before you schedule the move. In Caspio, the data model is rebuilt on a SQL Server data core with role-based and record-level security.
Forms and interfaces. The generated frontend is not imported; it is your specification, and a good one. Every screen your prototype proved out is rebuilt as complete standalone apps or embeddable components you can place on any site or portal.
Roles and security. The row-level security policies Lovable generates are exactly what its own security guidance tells founders to verify by hand. In Caspio, role-based and record-level access is configured, not coded, and enforced by the platform.
Timeline.A typical departmental application rebuilds in a few days; complex, multi-role systems take longer. Budget the security re-audit you would owe the prototype anyway, and you do not have to do it alone: have Caspio Professional Services or one of our many certified partners build it for you.
Prompt-to-App Speed, With the Compliance Built In
Switching is not a retreat from AI app building. Caspio offers four AI capabilities, available on every plan tier, all governed by the role-based security model your application enforces.

No quote gate and no seat math. Caspio plans start from $300/month with unlimited users on every plan. HIPAA compliance is a $500/month add-on on top of your plan rate (one-year term); a HIPAA-enabled deployment starts from $800/month total (TEAM plan plus the add-on). There is no free plan; every plan comes with a free 14-day trial.
Caspio vs. Lovable: Side by Side
Lovable is an AI app builder that generates React applications on credit-based plans; Caspio is an AI application platform that delivers the application and the compliance environment together. Here’s a side-by-side comparison.
| Comparison area | Caspio | Base44 |
|---|---|---|
| What it builds | Complete applications on one platform: data model, interfaces, roles, hosting, generated by Caspi or built visually | AI-generated apps on a bundled platform with built-in database, auth, and hosting |
| Who signs the BAA | Customer BAA via a published HIPAA add-on; HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR independently certified annually | No published BAA or HIPAA plan as of September 2026; terms bar PHI unless Wix expressly agrees in prior writing |
| Data layer | SQL Server data core with role-based and record-level security, operated within Caspio’s certified environment | Bundled backend that is not separable or self-hostable; exported code still calls Base44’s servers |
| Pricing model | Flat platform plans with unlimited users; published pricing | Dual credit metering: building consumes message credits and the live app consumes integration credits, so production usage itself is metered |
| Production operations | 24/7 human support on every plan; hosting, upgrades, and compliance operated by Caspio | Single vendor operates everything; code export and GitHub sync on paid plans only |
Where Lovable Is Strong, and Where It Strains
Lovable has several clear strengths: it is the mindshare leader of the AI app builder category, its generation speed is genuinely impressive, and it holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications. Each strength arrives with a documented pairing. Speed: independent security research published in May 2025 (CVE-2025-48757) found 170 of 1,645 scanned Lovable apps, roughly one in ten, exposing user data to unauthenticated visitors, and press coverage reported the flaw not fully fixed for months after notification. Certification: it covers the builder, while Lovable’s own founder security guide hands row-level security verification, security scanning, secrets, and penetration testing to the customer. Pricing: its credit-based model consumes credits per AI action, including the iterations spent fixing regressions the system itself introduced.
Best for, Lovable: Rapid prototyping and non-regulated projects where generation speed matters more than the compliance chain.
Caspio brings application development, data management, compliance controls, and production operations together on one platform. Organizations can build with AI while operating under a signed BAA and independently certified compliance controls.
Best for, Caspio: Teams that need AI app building and a signed BAA on one platform, and any company that values security, reliability, and scalability. See why teams choose Caspio.

Export your code (GitHub sync on every Lovable plan) and your data where you own the Supabase project, then rebuild: the data model on Caspio’s SQL Server data core, the screens as complete Caspio-hosted apps or embeddable components, and access rules as configured roles and record-level permissions. Your prototype serves as the specification, and Caspio or one of our many certified partners can do the build for you.
No. Caspio does not charge per user or per seat. Every plan includes unlimited users, and the platform price stays flat as your audience grows. Plans start from $300/month.
Yes. Caspio’s HIPAA compliance controls are independently certified every year, and HIPAA coverage is available with every plan through a published compliance add-on; HIPAA-enabled deployments start from $800/month total. Details are on the Caspio HIPAA Edition page.
No. Supabase signs a BAA only when you own the Supabase organization on its Team plan or above with a paid HIPAA add-on, and that agreement covers the database layer alone. It does not cover the Lovable builder, the generated frontend, or its hosting, so the app’s full PHI chain remains uncovered.
