Get a Lovable engineer who owns the result
Claude Code writes most of the code. Your engineer plans it, reviews it and answers for it
Keep building in Lovable, safely
You keep the speed of prompting. They review what it generates before it reaches users.
Data that stays private
Supabase row level security and auth checked, so 1 customer never sees another customer's data.
Keys out of the browser
API keys and secrets moved to the server, where nobody can copy them from the page.
Releases you can roll back
Your code in GitHub with CI/CD and a staging copy, so a bad change never goes straight to users.
Fix where Lovable apps break
What we fix most often when a Lovable app meets real users
Test them on a real task first
Before the first full week, your engineer spends 2 days on a task from your backlog. You pay $7 and keep the code

FAQ
What does a Lovable developer do?
They take the app you started in Lovable and make it ready for real users: security, data, payments and deploys. Ours use AI agents like Claude Code, so you keep the speed you are used to, with an engineer reviewing what ships.
Do I have to leave Lovable?
No. Many teams keep Lovable for UI changes while the engineer handles the backend and reviews. When the app outgrows it, they move the code to your own GitHub and hosting and keep what works.
Can you take on the whole launch as a project?
Yes. If you would rather hand over the audit, fixes and deploy as 1 project with a fixed scope, see our Lovable to production service.
How much does it cost to hire a Lovable developer?
Our engineers charge $30-60 an hour, depending on experience. Full time at 40 hours a week that comes to about $5,000-10,000 a month, with no deposit and no platform fee. On Toptal the same search starts at about $60 an hour, plus a $500 deposit and $79 a month.
How do you vet the engineers?
Every candidate builds and presents a full-stack demo project: a landing page, a web app, a backend and a database with RAG, all with AI agents. Then our CTO, Igor Krasnik, interviews them on technical knowledge, product sense, clear thinking and how they work with a team. Only engineers who pass both are matched with clients.
Can I hire for 20 hours a week or a short project?
Yes. Pick 20 or 40 hours a week in the brief. Billing is weekly, so a 2-week fix and a year-long engagement work the same way: you stop when the work is done.
What if the engineer is not a good fit?
Tell us and we send a replacement from the network. There is no contract to exit and no notice period, since billing is weekly.
Do I talk to the engineer directly?
Yes. They join your Slack and work with you like a member of your team. There is no account manager in between, and you get a written update every day.
