Probably not yet — and that’s normal. An app you built on Lovable, Bolt, Replit or Claude can demo perfectly and still fail the moment real users arrive: fake auth, exposed secrets, a database that buckles, runaway AI costs. Run the 10-point check below. If you fail 3 or more, don’t launch yet — fix them first (or have someone fix them for you).
Want us to run this for you? The $500 Prototype Audit gives you a scored report against exactly these points.
| Area | Fine in the demo | Breaks with real users |
|---|---|---|
| Auth | One test account | No roles, sessions leak, anyone gets in |
| Data | A few rows | Slow queries, no backups, data loss |
| Cost | You click a few times | Unbounded AI calls = surprise bill |
| Security | Nobody’s attacking it | Exposed keys, injectable inputs |
Why AI builders stall here: AI builders vs a studio.
If it handles real users, payments or personal data — no. Demo-grade auth and security get exploited fast. Fix the checklist first.
A $500 audit tells you exactly what it needs; hardening + go-live typically runs $1,000–$2,000 for a focused app. See the ladder.
No — starting on Lovable/Replit was smart. We keep what works, fix what doesn’t, and you own 100% of the code.
