Rescue by tool
Lovable rescue
A Lovable app can look finished in the preview and still have auth that never leaves the browser, Supabase with RLS off, and a Stripe button that only works in test mode. We treat that as a salvage job, not a reason to throw the UI away.
What we keep seeing in Lovable projects
- UI that looks done while the server does not enforce much
- Supabase tables with RLS off, or policies that allow everything
- Keys sitting where the client bundle can see them
- Checkout that succeeds in test and falls over live
- Deploy surprises once you leave Lovable hosting assumptions

Same path as Vibe Code Rescue: about 48 hours to look, a severity ranking, then a fixed scope if you want the work done. Knowing the tool mostly means less of that time goes to surprises.
FAQ
Can you fix a Lovable-built app without rewriting it?
Often, yes, for a large part of the product. We will not promise that before we have seen it. The diagnostic says what to keep. The quote covers security, auth, data, and payments first.
How much does Lovable rescue cost?
Same ladder as the rest of the rescue work: diagnostic free–$500, audit $299–$2,500, focused rescue $500–$12,500+. The numbers are on /pricing/.
