Zite shows what it built. Jet builds on your own data.
Zite turns a prompt into a business app and leaves the logic visible, with the data stored in Zite and capped by plan. Jet Admin builds the same app on the database you already run, across 200+ integrations, or on Jet Tables, with unlimited workflows and governance on the Business plan.

The verdict
So, which should you choose?
Both can generate an app from a prompt. The difference is what happens next — who can use it, how you govern it, and whether it runs on your real data. Lovable is great for spinning up a brand-new web app with an AI prompt and a fresh Supabase backend. Jet Admin is built for the opposite job: putting governed apps and internal tools on top of the data your business already runs on.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Zite and Jet Admin?
Zite generates a business app from a prompt and keeps everything it built visible and editable, with the data stored inside Zite and capped by plan. Jet Admin generates the same kind of app on a database you already run, and adds row-level access, audit logs and the option to deploy inside your own network.
Is Jet Admin a good alternative to Zite?
It is, when the app has to read production data that cannot be copied into another platform, or when external users log in and each must see only their own records. If the data can live in the platform and you want the fastest path from prompt to app, Zite is the simpler choice.
What does Jet Admin offer that Zite doesn't?
Apps that run on the database you already use, or on Jet Tables if you do not have one yet, with no platform cap on records and unlimited workflows on every plan. Plus self-hosted and on-premise deployment, and governance that unlocks on the 100 dollar Business plan rather than on an enterprise contract.
When is Zite the better choice?
When speed of the first build matters most and the app stays simple. Zite ships over 100 templates to clone, and its selective edits let you change text, colours and layout without spending AI credits. If the data can live inside Zite and you do not need granular permissions, it gets you to a working app faster.
Can I migrate from Zite to Jet Admin?
Export your records from Zite to CSV, load them into a database you control, then connect that database to Jet. CRUD screens generate from the schema. Workflows and permissions are rebuilt rather than imported, since the two platforms model them differently.
How is Jet Admin priced compared to Zite?
Neither charges per seat. Both include unlimited users, editors and apps on every plan, including the free one. What differs is what gets metered and when governance unlocks. Zite meters database records and workflow runs by tier, holds granular permissions to Team, and puts SSO and audit logs on Enterprise. Jet Admin meters AI credits, keeps apps, users and workflows unlimited on every tier, and includes granular permissions, SSO and audit logs on the 100 dollar Business plan. Checked September 2026.
Does Jet Admin work with my existing data sources?
Yes. Jet connects to 200+ integrations, including Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Airtable, Supabase, Firebase, Stripe and Salesforce, and queries them in place rather than copying records into the platform. If you do not have a database yet, Jet Tables gives you one.
