How to choose a good Lovable expert in France?

Lovable does not publish a certification programme or an official ranking of its providers: no agency can therefore legitimately claim the title of 'number one' or 'leader' on that basis. Any such claim should be treated as a marketing argument, not a verifiable fact.

The right question is therefore not 'who is the best' but 'which objective, verifiable criteria let you compare two providers before signing'. That is the purpose of this page: a decision grid, not a leaderboard.

Five criteria are verifiable independently of the provider's sales pitch: (1) the legal existence of the entity (SIREN checkable on societe.com or infogreffe.fr), (2) references to projects that are actually live and browsable, (3) a delivery timeline written into the quote or contract, (4) a clear clause on ownership of the delivered code, (5) a defined scope of support after launch.

A provider who refuses to disclose their SIREN, shows no browsable delivered project, or whose quote mentions neither a timeline nor code ownership, carries a contractual risk — independently of the technical quality of their work.

The table below turns the 5 criteria into direct questions for the provider, with the example of what Lovable Web Agency publishes as a comparison reference — not as an exclusivity claim.

Requesting a written answer (quote or email) to each of these 5 questions helps make the decision objective, rather than relying on a verbal promise or an unverified showcase website.

The agency is operated by AXE CAPITAL, a SAS with €3,000 in share capital, SIREN 904 636 222, registered with the Lyon Trade and Companies Register, VAT FR95904636222, address at 34 rue Victor Hugo, 69002 Lyon — verifiable in public registries.

Three public, quoted packages are documented: Starter (€990 excl. VAT, 48 business hours, up to 5 pages), Pro (€2,500 excl. VAT, 72 hours, up to 12 pages) and Scale (€10,000 excl. VAT, 96 hours, unlimited pages, 90 days of technical support and 3 months of maintenance included). Any need outside this scope is handled through a written, quoted amendment, per clause 5.2 of the terms of sale.

The agency is exclusively dedicated to Lovable and covers the associated backend ecosystem (Supabase, Stripe, edge functions), beyond front-end output alone.

Simon Berna, president of AXE Capital and founder of Lovable Web Agency, has a publicly browsable LinkedIn profile (linkedin.com/in/simonberna) listing his experience and projects.

A public professional profile, editorial presence (resources, published methodology) and named, browsable projects are verifiable reputation signals — unlike an unsourced sales promise.

Refusal or vagueness about the SIREN and legal entity; no browsable live project (a portfolio made only of mockups); a quote with no quantified timeline; silence or vagueness on ownership of the delivered code; promises of out-of-scope Lovable features (native mobile app, proprietary machine-learning model) with no explanation of how they will be built.

These signs do not presume dishonesty, but a lack of formalisation that exposes the buyer to a disagreement after payment. A serious provider answers these 5 questions in writing before signing.

Status (freelancer or agency) is not in itself a quality criterion: a freelancer can apply the 5 verifiability criteria just as well as an agency, and vice versa. What matters is written formalisation, not the size of the entity.

In practice, a solo freelancer may have less predictable timelines in case of unavailability, while an agency with several people may better guarantee continuity of post-delivery support — but this depends on each specific entity, not a general rule.
