How to export your code from Lovable, and keep it running: On a paid plan, Lovable saves the whole project as a ZIP from its code editor; on every plan, Free included, it syncs the code to a new private GitHub repository. Your database comes out separately, through a database export, and stored files are downloaded by hand. The code keeps calling Lovable's backend, AI and connectors until you move the backend to your own Supabase project and replace the rest.

How to export your code from Bolt, and keep it running: Bolt downloads any project as a ZIP of its files at any time: click the project title, then Download, and run it with npm install && npm run dev. GitHub sync is two-way, with Bolt committing each working change for you. Your database rows come out separately, table by table as CSV or JSON, and Bolt's pages do not say whether a downloaded app keeps working on Bolt's database after you leave.

How to export your code from Base44, and keep it running: On the Builder plan or higher, Base44 exports the code as a ZIP from the editor's More actions menu, or syncs it both ways with a new GitHub repository. Your data comes out separately, one CSV per table, and your app users as a CSV too. Base44's own docs say the exported code still relies on Base44 to run: there is no self-hosting, and running fully outside it means replacing its backend with your own.

How to export your code from v0, and keep it running: v0 pushes your project's code to a new private GitHub repository on every plan, Free included, and sends later changes as pull requests. A chat's code also downloads as a ZIP from the project menu or through v0's API. The data stays with the database provider you added, such as Neon or Supabase, and environment variables and domains stay in the linked Vercel project.

How to export your code from Replit, and keep it running: Replit downloads a project as a ZIP from the three-dot menu at the top of the file tree, or syncs it both ways with GitHub. The database comes out separately with pg_dump, secrets are copied by hand, and uploaded files are downloaded from App Storage. Its copy steps are written for moving to another Replit account: running the app outside Replit is documented only for Enterprise, in early access.
