Base44 vs Lovable: Which AI builder is better for SEO?

Both use React & Vite. Both produce sites Google can't read. Here's how they compare.

Quick Verdict

Neither wins. Both build client-side React SPAs that serve empty HTML to search engines.

The SEO limitations are architectural — not a feature gap one platform has solved. Base44 and Lovable both use React with Vite to generate single-page applications. Google's crawler receives <div id="root"></div> from both. No content, no headings, no links. Choosing between them for SEO is choosing between two empty pages.

Side-by-Side SEO Comparison

SEO Feature	Base44	Lovable
Google can crawl content	No — JS required	No — JS required
Meta tag control	Static, not editable per page	Same tag on all pages (from index.html)
URL structure	Query params (PageName?id=123)	Client-side routing (/page, but not real URLs)
Social share previews	Broken — crawlers don't run JS	Broken — crawlers don't run JS
Server-side rendering	No	No
Unique title per page	No	No (set via JS, invisible to crawlers)
Sitemap generation	No	No
Structured data / schema	No	No
Google Search Console status	"Crawled — not indexed"	"Crawled — not indexed"
Code export	Limited — locked to platform	GitHub export available
Hosting flexibility	Base44 only	Lovable hosting or self-host via GitHub
Pricing	Platform subscription required	Free tier + paid plans

The Shared Problem

Base44 and Lovable are built on the same foundation: React + Vite, compiled into a client-side rendered single-page application. This means the entire site depends on JavaScript executing in the browser to display any content at all.

Here is what both platforms deliver to search engine crawlers:

User's browser: Loads JS → Executes React → Renders content → Page looks great

Googlebot: Requests HTML → Receives <div id="root"></div> → No content to index

This is not a bug in either platform. It is how client-side React SPAs work by design. Neither Base44 nor Lovable includes a server-side rendering layer, a pre-rendering step, or any mechanism to deliver real HTML content to crawlers.

Lovable does export code to GitHub, which gives you more flexibility to migrate. But the exported code is still a React SPA — moving it to your own server does not make it crawlable. Base44 keeps your code on its platform, giving you even less room to work with.

Both platforms produce sites that look polished to visitors but are invisible to search engines. The difference between them is operational, not architectural. From an SEO perspective, the result is identical: zero organic visibility.

The Real Solution

Since both Base44 and Lovable produce the same kind of output — client-side React SPAs — the fix is the same for both: convert the rendered pages to static HTML files.

Static HTML conversion takes your existing design and content and outputs clean .html files that search engines can read on the first request. No JavaScript execution required. No framework dependency. No platform lock-in.

Every page gets its own unique title, meta description, and Open Graph tags — so each page can rank for its own keywords
Real HTML content delivered in the server response — headings, paragraphs, links
Clean URL structure with crawlable navigation
Social share previews that actually work on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook
No ongoing platform subscription required — host anywhere
You own the files permanently

It does not matter which platform you started on. The conversion process works the same way for both Base44 and Lovable projects.
