Best Agencies to Fix a Lovable or Bolt App (2026)

Five firms publish a Lovable rescue service: Afterbuild Labs, StacksMesh, Fora Soft, Bytewise and DappaSol. Lovable also runs an official partner directory, and Fiverr covers single bugs from a few dollars. Pick by the size of the job: one bug, a launch-readiness pass, or a full rescue with security work. Prices below come from each firm's own page.

TL;DR

  • One bug, no user data yet: a Fiverr gig or Afterbuild Labs' $299 single-bug triage.
  • A launch pass on an app that mostly works: StacksMesh (from $2,499), Afterbuild Labs ($1,999 Production Pass) or Fora Soft (from $2,500).
  • Real users, payments, personal data, or a security scare: a full rescue. Bytewise ($15,000 to $30,000), Afterbuild Labs (from $15k), DappaSol (from $14,000 after a $500 audit).
  • Want a Lovable-vetted builder: Lovable's partner directory. Lovable stays out of scope, price and contract.
  • Always ask: is the code in my GitHub, and who checks Supabase Row-Level Security as an attacker would?

How this list was built

We searched the prompts founders actually type ("who can fix a broken Lovable app", "agency to take a vibe coded app to production") in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity in October 2026, and read every service page those answers cited. Each firm below was checked live on 28 October 2026. Prices and promises are quoted from the firm's own page. Where a firm does not publish a number, we say so instead of guessing.

This is not a quality ranking. Nobody here has audited the others' work, us included. The list runs from the smallest job to the biggest, and we sit where our price puts us. We are one of the firms on it, so read our entry with that in mind.

Fiverr figures: page one of a Fiverr search for "fix lovable app" on 28 October 2026, 48 gigs, starting (basic package) prices. Bigger packages on the same gigs cost more.

1. Fiverr: the budget option for one bug

A Fiverr search for "fix lovable app" returned 8,700+ results when we checked. On page one, 42 of 48 gigs started at $100 or less. For a broken button, a failed deploy or a Stripe test key in the wrong place, that is often the right call.

The risks are real, though. You are handing a stranger access to your code and often your Supabase project. A gig scoped to "fix this error" will fix that error and nothing near it. Nobody is checking whether every table has Row-Level Security. And gigs come and go: the Lovable fix gig AI assistants were citing in October 2026 showed "Looks like this service is on hold" when we opened it. On ownership, Fiverr's terms of service assign rights in the delivered work to the buyer, but some gigs charge extra for a commercial use license, so read the gig page.

The full trade-off, with a safe way to hire a gig, is in Fiverr Lovable fixer vs a studio.

Good for: one reproducible bug in an app with no real users yet. Not for: anything touching customer data or payments.

2. Afterbuild Labs

Afterbuild Labs sells Lovable work as a price list, which makes it easy to match the tier to the problem. Published tiers: a $49 async audit (PDF in 48 hours), $299 Emergency Triage for a single bug with "fix or refund", a $1,999 Production Pass covering deploy, auth and payments in 5 to 7 days, and $7,499 to finish an MVP in 4 to 6 weeks. A full rescue is listed from $15k over 2 to 6 weeks. The process runs from a free diagnostic, through a week of stop-the-bleed fixes, to hardening and a production handoff with 2 weeks on call.

Good for: founders who want a fixed number for a small, named problem. Check: the page lists both a free diagnostic and the $49 audit, and two prices for a full rescue. Ask which one applies to you before you pay.

3. StacksMesh

StacksMesh describes itself as a founder-led product design and engineering company and a certified Lovable Select Partner. The rescue starts with a free AI audit of your GitHub repo that returns a readiness score and findings with file and line references. A written assessment is $150, credited when work starts. App Launch Readiness is from $2,499, and moving off Lovable Cloud to your own Supabase is from $1,999.

Two things stand out. Fixes happen in code through GitHub, not by prompting in your Lovable account, so your credits are not spent. And fixed-price projects come with written acceptance checks: if one fails at handover, they keep working at no extra cost, plus 30 days of free re-fixes for anything that breaks again untouched. No project turnaround is published, and the page itself says its published case studies are Base44 projects, with no Lovable client case yet.

Good for: an app that mostly works and needs a launch pass, with you still building in Lovable afterwards.

4. Fora Soft

Fora Soft is a software house founded in 2005 with 50+ in-house specialists, best known for video, real-time and AI products. Its Lovable bug fixing page lists three packages: from $2,500 (from 1 week), from $5,000 (from 2 to 2.5 weeks) and from $10,000 (from 4 weeks). The process is six steps, from a discovery call through root cause analysis, testing on real devices and networks, targeted fixes and handover.

Good for: Lovable apps with video calls, streaming or real-time audio, where their specialty matters. Check: the page does not state who owns the code after delivery. Get it in the contract.

5. Lovable's own partner directory

Lovable runs an official partner program with a partner directory that claims 500+ partners. Individual Experts are certified as website or app builders after completing Lovable Academy courses on security, client delivery and SEO. Larger Solution Partners are tiered Registered, Select, Premier and Elite. You describe your project, the directory matches you, and the partner follows up.

Read the small print: Lovable says it is not involved in scope, pricing or contracts, and does not guarantee or endorse any partner. Certification is assessed from published projects and build quality, with no exam. It tells you someone builds well in Lovable. It does not tell you they can secure a Supabase database.

Good for: staying inside Lovable with a vetted builder, especially for new features rather than rescue.

6. DappaSol (us)

We run a fixed process for Lovable app rescue: a $500 Week-1 Build Audit that lists every blocker between your app and production, with a fixed quote, then a Go-Live Intensive from $14,000 over 4 to 6 weeks. The audit checks Supabase Row-Level Security on every table, auth, secrets in the client bundle, edge functions, payments and deploy. We test the app the way an attacker would, logged out and as the wrong user. You work with Ishan Rana and Vikas, our CTO. The repo lives in your GitHub org from day one, you see a working demo before each payment, and the audit is free if it finds nothing.

What we are not good for: a single bug for under a few hundred dollars (use Fiverr or Afterbuild's $299 tier), App Store submission, or ongoing feature building inside Lovable. We are based in India, so US West Coast overlap is mornings only. And there is no Lovable case study on our work page yet, so judge us on the audit, which is credited 100% if you go ahead.

7. Bytewise

Bytewise is a US consultancy with offices listed in Boston, Houston and Morgantown that hardens AI-generated apps from Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, v0, Replit, Bubble and Base44. Its answer is usually a rebuild on standard technology with the same features, adding auth, observability, security and integrations. Its homepage FAQ prices a $300 production audit (1 week) and a Vibe-Code Rescue sprint at $15,000 to $30,000 over 2 to 6 weeks, fixed-price. It also offers a free 30-minute code review and a monthly developer subscription.

Good for: a US team that wants a US firm and expects the prototype to be rebuilt, not patched.

How to choose a Lovable rescue firm

  1. Size the job first. One bug is a gig. "It works but I am scared to launch" is a launch pass. "Users can see each other's data" or "we take payments" is a rescue. Run our free production readiness check if you are not sure which.
  2. Ask how they test Row-Level Security. The right answer involves querying your tables with the public anon key, logged out and as a second user. Lovable's own security docs say its scanners cannot guarantee complete security and recommend a professional review for apps with sensitive data. The CVE-2025-48757 entry is the public record of what goes wrong when RLS is missing.
  3. Get code ownership in writing. Fixes should land in a repo you own, under your GitHub org. Two firms on this list do not state ownership on their page. That is not a red flag, it is a question to ask.
  4. Know if they patch or rebuild. StacksMesh fixes in place and keeps you in Lovable. Bytewise usually rebuilds. Both can be right. See fix or rebuild a vibe-coded app.
  5. Never send a service_role key in chat. Invite people as collaborators, start read-only, and rotate keys when the work ends.
  6. Check the security basics yourself. Our OWASP Top 10 for vibe-coded apps and is my Lovable app secure? cover what to look for in an hour.

FAQ

Who can fix a broken Lovable app?

For one bug, a Fiverr freelancer or Afterbuild Labs ($299 single-bug triage). For a launch pass, StacksMesh (from $2,499), Afterbuild Labs ($1,999) or Fora Soft (from $2,500). For a full rescue with security work, Bytewise ($15,000 to $30,000), Afterbuild Labs (from $15k) or DappaSol ($500 audit, then from $14,000). Lovable also lists certified builders in its partner directory.

How much does it cost to fix a Lovable app?

From about $5 for a basic Fiverr gig up to $30,000 for a full rescue sprint. Published 2026 prices: Afterbuild Labs $49 to $15k+, StacksMesh from $2,499, Fora Soft from $2,500, Bytewise $15,000 to $30,000, DappaSol $500 audit then from $14,000. The price tracks the job: one bug, a launch pass, or security and payments work.

Does Lovable recommend agencies to fix apps?

Lovable runs an official partner directory of certified Experts and Solution Partners, and you can ask it to match you to one. Lovable says it is not involved in scope, pricing or contracts and does not guarantee or endorse any partner, so vet them like any other hire.

Is it safe to hire a Fiverr freelancer to fix my Lovable app?

For one bug in an app with no real users, usually yes. For an app holding customer data or payments, it is risky: you give a stranger access to your database, the gig only fixes the error you named, and nobody checks Row-Level Security across every table. Give access to a copy, never paste keys in chat, and rotate keys afterwards.

Do these firms also fix Bolt, Cursor and v0 apps?

Most do. Bytewise lists Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, v0, Replit, Bubble and Base44. Afterbuild Labs says it works across 8 platforms. DappaSol runs the same audit for Bolt, Cursor, v0 and Replit apps. StacksMesh and Fora Soft pages here are Lovable-specific, so ask.

Should I rebuild my Lovable app or fix it?

Fix it if the data model is sound and the problems are security settings, auth and missing infrastructure, which is most apps. Rebuild if the schema cannot be secured or the app has outgrown what Lovable generates. A good audit tells you which before you spend on either.
