With Power Apps, Retool or Lovable you get a tool, and who reads each change is up to you. Fabrika is an open-source platform in your own cloud account that handles sign-in and access, whoever built the app, and a person from Contember also reads every change.

Detailed comparison →When you want to know where the app stands, say before launch. It costs less than a service, but you keep running the app and the report covers one version. Check the basics yourself with our production checklist.
A category of service, not a specific supplier.
For a larger system with complex logic or integrations that someone should build all of for you. Your agency can also build on Fabrika.
A category of service, not a specific supplier.
Better you hear it here than in the middle of a security review.
Partly. Retool and Superblocks give you the tool and governance features, and your team reviews changes. On Fabrika we review every change and run operations, and the apps are code in your repository, in your own Zerops account (or AWS on request).
They give you the process. Someone on your side still has to read each change and understand it. On Fabrika we read it, and the platform holds sign-in, access and keys whoever wrote it.
Not as it is: it runs only in Power Platform, so there's no code to run elsewhere. We can rebuild it, with the existing app as a precise brief, and sort out the data on the first call.
Yes, we take the app over from GitHub into your own account. Whether you can keep building in Lovable afterwards, we're testing now. More in From Lovable to production.
If off-the-shelf software covers the process, usually yes, and we'll say so. But someone still has to build and look after an app in Power Apps, Retool or Lovable. Count their time and who answers for the result, not just the licence.
On Fabrika: a monthly plan by number of apps, servers paid to the cloud provider by usage, and AI through your own plan. Power Apps and Retool charge per user, Lovable per workspace. More on Pricing.
