Best Codex Sites lane

Internal tools, workspace apps, review rooms and workflow utilities inside a Business or Enterprise context.

When Lovable is stronger

Public app prototypes that need custom domains, code ownership and a broader hosted product workflow.

Main risk

Do not expect Codex Sites to behave like a public SaaS host with custom domains on day one.
