Greta Reviews

I really wanted to love Greta AI. The idea of a lifetime vibe coding tool is exciting, and at first, I was impressed by the layouts it generated — they looked clean and promising. Unfortunately, in practice, the tool just isn’t reliable enough yet.

The biggest issue is functionality: the chat often disappears or gets distorted, projects take several minutes (sometimes 30+) to load or refresh, and it can only handle a limited number of files. They do have a beta that hopes to expand this, but right now it feels restrictive. It uses Netlify for deployments and custom domains, which isn’t a huge problem, but I personally prefer everything in one place. The application is very buggy.

Support has also been inconsistent. My first email got a quick response, but follow-ups sometimes took several days or weeks. Meanwhile, I noticed the team was promoting another product on AppSumo, which makes it feel like Greta isn’t getting the full attention it needs. No updates or announcements during my months of testing added to that concern.

At this stage, Greta is only useful for prototyping or building very basic static sites — and even then, the workflow is frustrating. Too often I found myself re-asking the same questions in chat (even with better prompting with chat gpt) or troubleshooting repetitive issues without progress.

Overall, I admire the concept and hope it matures into a stronger one…but right now it’s not a good use of my time. It’s simply not ready for building anything beyond a simple demo or basic tool.

Edit: I'm editing my review to 2 stars (up from 1) since it seems to reimburse credits when it doesn't deploy.

However, I still can't get it to work. Nothing will deploy.

So happy to see my credits not being wasted, but unhappy to see I can't get anything to work.

When I eventually hear from support I'll update my review if things improve.

I hate to leave a bad review but this app is proving to be absolutely useless based on my experience. I gave it a prompt and it just constantly loops and loops and loops and every time it loops it uses credits. It's used almost everyone a bike 1,500 credits just by looping without me giving it any prompts. I have no idea what is going on. It's just doing nothing. It won't finish the project. I can't deploy anything. It's just feeling like a complete broken app. How did this even get released? I am on the verge of refunding but I am waiting for support to eventually come back to me and hopefully give me some help. I still have a little bit of time before I refund so I'm going to give them a chance but right now this is the most useless thing I've bought on appsumo and I'm really struggling to understand why there are so many positive reviews when nothing is working.

This is my honest constructive personal opinion, this is not really meant to "hate" on Greta or the developers, it's very hard to launch a product and to make everyone happy, that's basically impossible, these are just my thoughts, and I wanted to share them.

I have been testing Greta for around a month; I say testing because it's very hard to launch a functional application at the current state that Greta is on, I really want this platform to work because I think I could be a tool that can help users create a functional working professional application in a relatively short period of time, so that would be really interesting if they get to that level. The question is this Will it get to that level? the development team appears not to be very well organized or managed and occasionally it is perceived as if they are not really 100% committed to Greta and to positioning themselves at the level that other Vibe Coding (Ai code generators).

Development is slow, the roadmap doesn't really get updated very much so we don't really know what the team is working on or has finished, so this transmits to the end user that there is nothing going on.

It is EXTREMELY BUGGY this is a huge issue, when you are trying to build something and most of the results are errors or it doesn't execute what it is carefully prompted, it's very frustrating and disappointing, it cuts your motivation for creating and using the platform, resulting in unfinished projects or abandoned projects and wasted time.

Support is very slow, not really going to go into more detail on this subject but don't expect very good customer support.

When you get to Greta's landing page it's very straight forward, a prompt for you to get started and on the right, there are many layout images scrolling diagonally, they look pretty cool and it gives you the idea that you can build those with Greta, honestly I don't think you can build any of the layouts that are scrolling on the homepage, maybe you can but I don't really imagine how with Greta.

The templates look outdated (ui/ux/design) and in the month or so that I have been testing Greta I haven't seen any new template.

Comparing Greta to Lovable I think is very misleading, these are two very different platforms, I think the developers should not have allowed Appsumo to add that note/banner or should have requested it to be removed, I think the developers didn't ask for that banner I'm not sure. But IMO I don't think Greta is an alternative to Lovable and I don't think it is trying to be.

I think Greta could be really great, extremely useful and very successful, I know we will be able to build really great applications with it, I hope it comes sooner than later, because I think it has a lot of potential, I think it's heading in the right direction, it just needs a little bit more "love" from the developers, as a user I am hoping for the best, I hope the developers commit to the platform and show the users that they are committed, this will build trust and generate even more users.

It would be really cool if the developers organized weekly office hours with us to talk about what they are working on and to hear our thoughts or questions.

hallo zusammen,

ich bin sehr hin- und hergerissen. die app an sich: sehr gut, sie tut was sie soll. ich denke, das ein oder andere vibe-coding-tool ist natürlich noch besser und macht schickere sachen. aber es gibt auch viele, die nur ein bisschen besser, gleich oder auch schlechter sind. wenn man den preis mit einrechnet, ist es für mich ein top-3-pick, und das ist schon cool.

ich hatte bisher keine wirklichen probleme, außer vielleicht die optik so hinzubekommen, dass es nicht nach vibe-coding aussieht. bisher ist (in easy) eigentlich nur loveable darin gut, alle anderen eher so lala.

meine verbesserungsvorschläge:
- zeiger einbauen, damit man nicht alles beschreiben muss, sondern direkt bereiche auswählen kann
- strg+v für bilder im eingabefeld erlauben, damit screenshots einfacher nutzbar sind
- öffner definieren: aktuell wird immer das erste projekt geladen, wenn ich die seite öffne. viel schlauer wäre, das letzte projekt zu öffnen oder es auswählbar zu machen
- code soll man nicht editieren, richtig? sonst würde man sich vielleicht einfach austoben, wenn es nicht direkt passt
- klar, das „50-files-gate“, aber ich sehe, dass dran gearbeitet wird
- bei geldsachen wird immer usd angezeigt, es gibt aber mehr währungen. nehmt doch „taler“ als default und wer will, kann es ändern (kleinigkeit, aber trotzdem)
- mobile ansicht könnte mehr liebe vertragen, aktuell sehen meine lösungen beim responsive-test ziemlich einfach aus und brauchen nacharbeit
- logo einfügen: bisher habe ich es nicht geschafft, meins hochzuladen. stattdessen wurde automatisch etwas generiert. wäre schön, wenn man einfach ein logo hochladen könnte (wenn ich es richtig lese, ist es bereits in der beta)
- schriftarten ändern: wäre ebenso wichtig, am besten extern auswählbar. vielleicht eine laien-meinung, aber hey, wir sind hier beim vibe-coding. wenn ich es selbst besser könnte, wäre ich nicht hier (wenn ich es richtig lese, ist es bereits in der beta)

ansonsten finde ich alles super fair. tier3 ist absolut ausreichend und im großen und ganzen macht die app, was sie soll.

nun zu meinem problem: ich habe stark das gefühl, dass vibe-coding spätestens in einem halben jahr bei allen großen (chatgpt, gemini, claude usw.) einfach dabei sein wird. dann könnte ich mir das geld sparen. übersehe ich etwas? oder liegt euer vorteil auch langfristig darin, dass ihr spezialisierter seid, vorsprung habt und vor allem das deployen und die supabase-integration für laien vereinfacht, was die großen nicht machen werden? code ja, aber eine webapp lauffähig machen wohl eher nicht?

danke & viel erfolg

hello everyone,

i’m quite torn. the app itself: very good, it does what it’s supposed to do. i think some other vibe-coding tools are of course better and do fancier stuff. but there are also plenty that are only a bit better, about the same, or worse. if you factor in the price, for me it’s definitely a top-3 pick, and that’s cool.

so far i haven’t had any real problems, except maybe getting the design to not look like vibe-coding. right now, in “easy”, only loveable does this really well, the others not so much.

my suggestions for improvement:
- add a pointer, so you don’t have to describe everything but can directly select areas
- allow ctrl+v for images in the input field, so screenshots are easier to use
- define the opener: currently the first project always loads when i open the page. it would make more sense to open the last one, or make it selectable
- code is not meant to be edited, right? otherwise people might just tweak it when it doesn’t fit exactly
- the “50-files-gate”, sure, but i see work is ongoing
- money always shows in usd, but there are more currencies. set “taler” as the default and let users change it (a small thing, but still)
- mobile view could use more love; my solutions look too simplified when testing responsive, so more work is needed
- logo upload: i couldn’t get mine in, it just auto-generated something. would be nice to simply upload a logo and be done with it (if i read correct it is already in beta)
- fonts: should also be adjustable, ideally from external sources. maybe that’s a layman’s opinion, but hey, this is vibe coding. if i could do it better myself, i wouldn’t be here (if i read correct it is already in beta)

apart from that i think everything is really fair. tier3 is absolutely sufficient and overall the app does what it should.

now to my concern: i strongly feel that vibe coding will be included by all the big players (chatgpt, gemini, claude, etc.) in six months at the latest. then i could just save the money. am i missing something? or is your advantage — even long-term — that you are more specialized, ahead of the curve, and above all make deploying and the supabase integration easy for non-experts, which the big players will never bother with? code yes, but making a webapp run → probably not?

thanks & good luck

I am not a coder at all, but I have run software companies for thirty-odd years building complex apps, so have a good idea what is involved in creating apps.

Albeit I had zero coding experience, I was able to build a reasonably complex app for planning sales strategies that allows users to enter various criteria about sales opportunities, decision makers, status of each etc.

I provided a minimalistic prompt from which it inferred a lot, implementing things I'd not thought of i.e. it understood the intent of the app, that it was about sales, prospects buyers etc and created some sensible naming conventions in the UI that made it easier to understand. The UI was beautifully laid out.

It also created a user dashboard and a user management framework, registration form, login etc. Created the links to Github and Supabase, Basically led me by the hand the entire way. At some points when compiling the app it failed and it then figured out workarounds, all without intervention from me.

And the progress report it produces as it's doing all that is frankly mind-blowing. It reminds me of the dialog I used to have with my programmers. I simply instruct it in conversational English and it obligingly goes off and does it in seconds, rather than days/weeks.

I've read some of the negative reviews and can only say, my experience is a total contrast. Greta performed flawlessly. The result has far exceeded my expectations and surpassed that of 90% of the 200 plus Deals I've bought on Appsumo.

In summary: congratulations to the guys at Greta and...coders look to your laurels!
