Questions

What people ask first.

Is Continual a website builder?

Continual can publish a public website, but it is built for the software a business runs on every day: records, screens for each role, and agents that do the follow-up. If a marketing site is all you need, a website builder is the simpler choice.

What does the agent do after the app is built?

Automations start the agent on a schedule or when a connected service sends an event. It can check records, draft messages and update your tools, and you can require a person to approve an action before it runs.

Do both price by credits?

Yes. Lovable prices plans by the credits they include, not by seats, as of November 2026. Continual also charges for usage through credits shared across your workspace, and collaborators never need a seat.

Can I see the code Continual writes?

Yes. Each project has a repository, either managed by Continual or connected to GitHub. You can browse the source and its history in the app or work with it from the Continual CLI.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe the work in plain language and the agent builds and changes the app. The code is there when you or a developer want it.
