MadMantra vs Lovable: Build a Product, or Run a Company?

Lovable turns a prompt into a polished web app. That's genuinely impressive — for a lot of founders, it's exactly what they need. But a website is the easy part of starting a company. The hard part is everything after the build: finding customers, writing the emails, running the ads, getting paid. Lovable doesn't do any of that. MadMantra does.
