I am super new to Frappe/ERPnext and started building our CRM via Frappe Framework.
Now, I casually tried lovable(AI app, for app creation etc.) and it literally built an entire CRM for me while there were as few problems.
I am now in the dilemma should I invest my time & energy in building platforms on Frappe Framework or just use the AI tools to quickly build from scratch given the rate at it generates apps/platforms.
To note, I am taking purely for internal tools for our business.
I don’t know your background (technical or not), but casually trying AI Code Assistance (nowadays AKA vibe-coding) won’t take you anywhere. It won’t build anything reliable for your production use.
I don’t know your business requirements or the complexity of your business model, but if your requirements were THAT easy, then a Google Sheet template for CRM would be a much more reliable option than vibe-coding a brand new CRM. You’d spend your time debugging and fixing the app instead of doing your real business.
Whether you invest some money in Frappe CRM on FrappeCloud or invest some time in self-hosted Frappe CRM, you’ll be much more satisfied. Plus, you might love the development experience of the Frappe framework.
