Lovable rescue
Need a hand with your Lovable app?
Lovable is genuinely impressive software. It will take you from an idea to a working, deployed app faster than any team could, and for a lot of projects that's the whole job done. Where people get stuck is the next bit — when the app has real users, real data and real money moving through it, and the thing standing between you and launch is something prompting can't reach.
$495 fixed price · written report within 3 business days · no obligation to continue
In short
PixelApps is an Australian development studio that takes Lovable projects the rest of the way — fixing what prompting can't reach, securing the Supabase database behind it, and getting the app production-ready. A $495 fixed-price audit gives you a written report on your Lovable app within three business days.
Sound familiar?
If you recognise two or three of these, an audit will pay for itself.
The credits are going faster than the progress
You're spending real money watching the same bug get re-fixed. The app is oscillating rather than improving.
Supabase is the part nobody understands
There are tables, there's data, and there's a nagging feeling that row-level security was never actually turned on.
Auth almost works
Sign-up works, password reset doesn't. Or everyone can see everyone else's records and you're not sure why.
Payments are the wall
Stripe is connected but webhooks, failed payments, refunds and subscription states are where the prompting stopped working.
It's ready except for the last 10%
Custom domain, emails that actually send, error handling, mobile layout — the unglamorous list between you and launch.
- Why do Lovable apps get stuck?
- Lovable writes real React and TypeScript into a real repository, backed by Supabase. That's a strength — the code is genuinely yours. But it means the app can reach a level of complexity where the right change is a five-line edit in a specific file, and describing that in a prompt is slower and riskier than making it directly. Security rules, payment flows and third-party integrations tend to hit that wall first.
What we actually do
We work in your repository, properly
We connect to your GitHub, branch, and make changes as code. You can keep using Lovable alongside us — we'll set things up so the two don't fight.
We lock down Supabase
Row-level security enabled and policies written for every table, keys checked for exposure, storage buckets reviewed, edge functions secured. This is the single most common gap we find.
We fix auth and permissions
Sign-up, sign-in, password reset, email confirmation, roles and who can see what — built so it holds up when someone tries to poke at it.
We finish payments and integrations
Stripe webhooks handled properly, subscription states tracked, emails delivered, and the third-party services wired in with real error handling behind them.
We get you launched
Custom domain, environment separation, analytics, monitoring and backups, so you find out about problems before your customers tell you.
What it costs
Everything is quoted at a fixed price before it starts. No hourly surprises.
Rescue audit
$495
fixed price
A senior developer reviews your codebase, database and deployment, and sends a written report within 3 business days.
Rescue sprint
$2,500 – $8,000
typical range
We fix what the audit found: security holes closed, the app stabilised, deployment sorted, and the parts that stopped you shipping actually finished.
Ongoing care
$750
from, per month
A monthly retainer: hosting, updates, security patches, backups, monitoring, an agreed block of development time, and a human who answers when something breaks. We also work ad-hoc — just ask.
What the $495 audit includes
- A plain-English summary of what you have and what state it is in
- Security review — database access rules, exposed keys, login and permissions
- A prioritised list of what is broken, what is risky and what is merely untidy
- A fixed-price quote for the work, and an honest view on rebuild vs repair
- The report is yours to keep and take to any developer
When you don't need us
If Lovable is doing what you need, keep going — it's a very good tool and you don't need us in the middle. The signal that it's time to bring in developers is usually one of three things: real customer data, real payments, or a bug that has survived three honest attempts to prompt it away.

Common questions
Either. Lovable syncs to GitHub, so we can work in the repository while you carry on using Lovable for the parts it handles well. If you'd rather move fully to a standard Next.js or React setup, we can do that too — but we won't push you off a tool that's working for you.
No. We use branches and pull requests, so your working app stays live while changes are reviewed. If we're going to change something that affects how Lovable's editor behaves, we tell you first.
Quite the opposite — we build on Supabase every day. It's a genuinely good choice. The thing we check first is row-level security, because it's the part most AI-built apps leave open, and it's the difference between a private database and a public one.
$495 for the fixed-price audit and written report. Most Lovable projects then need somewhere between $2,500 and $8,000 of work, quoted at a fixed price once we know what we're dealing with.
Yes — same process, same pricing. Lovable, Bolt, Replit, v0, Cursor, Claude Code and Windsurf projects all land on our desk regularly.
