Lovable has real guardrails now. What is left is a difference in what each new app starts with.
This page used to say Lovable had no governance. That was wrong, and it is worth saying so plainly. Lovable’s enterprise product has workspace roles and groups, SSO and SCIM, security and privacy policies that apply across a workspace, login controls on published apps, and searchable audit logs. Workspace Insights, which landed in June 2026, gives an administrator a view across the whole portfolio.
What has not changed is the shape underneath. Lovable’s own launch post describes enterprise workspaces growing to thousands of projects, each with its own database and its own published endpoints. That is a governed portfolio of separate applications, and it is a reasonable thing to want. Cordango is making a different bet: one company model that every capability reads, so the fifteenth app knows who your customers are because the first one did.
Feature availability and pricing change. Every row is checked against the vendor's own current documentation, linked at the foot of this page.
Default means it is there without anyone setting it up. Available means the vendor supports it, sometimes only on a particular plan. Build or configure means it is possible and it is your work. Not a focus means the product is aimed somewhere else.

| Design freedom over the result | Not a focuspurpose-built screens from a shared vocabulary. No blank canvas. | Defaultanything you can describe, down to the pixel |
| Shared company records across every app | Defaultorganizations, people and teams are there before the first app | Build or configureprojects can share a backend if you design that. Nothing arranges it for you. |
| Workspace roles and identity | DefaultMicrosoft and Google sign-in on every plan, SAML and SCIM higher up | Availableroles and groups on paid plans, SSO and SCIM on Enterprise |
| Authorisation inside the app | Defaultenforced below the application, per entity, per field and per command | Build or configureeach project’s authorisation is designed and written for that project |

| German or EU data residency | DefaultGerman data centres, sub-processors published | Unclearwe could not find a documented customer-selectable German or EU region. Ask Lovable rather than assuming either way. |

Lovable’s unit is the project. It gets a database, endpoints and an authorisation model of its own, and the workspace governs the collection of them: who may open which project, who belongs to which group, what the audit log caught. That is a real answer to sprawl and it works.
Cordango’s unit is the capability, and it does not get its own anything. It reads the organizations, the people, the teams and the roles that were on the platform before it existed, and it writes to the same history. Nobody decides who your customers are for the fifteenth time, because that was decided once.
The price of that is the design row above. You are not getting a blank canvas, and you are not getting a repository to walk away with.
Lovable is the better choice when what you are building is for customers rather than colleagues, when visual freedom matters more than a shared rights model, or when you want the code in your own repository.
What we can show you, and what we cannot. Cordango holds no ISO 27001, SOC 2 or C5 certification today, and has not commissioned an external penetration test yet. We would rather you read that here than find it in procurement. Security and permissions at Cordango, and the data processing agreement in full.
Bring a process you would otherwise prompt into a new project. We will build it in the demo, on a company platform that already has your people and your permissions in it.
