Founders search this after building a working prototype in an AI tool like Lovable or Bolt and hitting a wall: a security issue, a feature that breaks under real users, or a vague sense that the code underneath isn't production-ready. The common mistake is assuming the only options are living with it or starting over, when most vibe-coded apps can be audited, hardened, and finished without a full rewrite.
What we see from the buyer's side
Almost every vibe-coded app we get asked to fix has the same three problems: row-level security rules that silently block or expose data, a payment webhook that was built client-side instead of server-side, and auth edge cases nobody tested. None of that means the app needs to be thrown away. The agencies worth hiring start with an audit, not a rebuild quote. If a firm wants to sell you a full rewrite before it has actually looked at your code, that's a reason to get a second opinion.
How we picked
Explicit support for your builder
Lovable, Bolt, Replit, v0, and Bubble generate different code and have different failure modes, so a firm's named experience with your specific tool matters more than general development skill.
Audit-first entry point
A fixed-price or capped audit before any rebuild commitment lets you see what's actually wrong before paying for a fix you may not need.
Security focus
Exposed API keys and misconfigured row-level security are the most common and most dangerous vibe-coding issues, so a firm should name this as a specific service, not an afterthought.
Published pricing
Rescue work can balloon in scope; a published audit price or rescue band lets you budget before the first call.
Code ownership and handoff
You should own the fixed codebase on GitHub afterward, not be locked into the agency for every future change.
Independently verifiable track record
A Clutch profile with real reviews, or named clients, lets you check claims against a third party instead of a sales page.

How we compare: RapidDev publishes this list and includes itself. We ranked these nine companies on explicit support for tools like Lovable, Bolt, and Bubble, pricing transparency, security and code-ownership practices, and independently verifiable track record, then matched each to the founder it's actually built for. Competitor facts come from each company's own site and its public Clutch profile, checked November 6, 2026.
Frequently asked questions
What are the best agencies to fix a vibe-coded app in 2026?
It depends on what's actually broken. RapidDev fits founders who want a Lovable Select Partner to audit and finish the app without a rewrite, Unico Connect and Wavect suit founders specifically worried about Supabase security, and LOW/CODE Agency fits apps with real traction that need a full production rebuild.
How much does it cost to hire an agency to fix a vibe-coded app?
Published entry prices on this list range from $499 for a basic audit (Triple Minds) to $120,000+ for a full production rebuild (LOW/CODE Agency). RapidDev's Lovable security and architecture audit is a flat $1,000, about 5 business days, with full production builds quoted at a fixed $13,000-$25,000 after that.
How do I choose an agency to fix a vibe-coded app?
Start with explicit, named support for your specific builder, like Lovable, Bolt, or Bubble, since each one fails in different ways. Then look for an audit-first entry point with published pricing, a clear security focus, and confirmation that you'll own the fixed codebase on GitHub when the engagement ends.
Should I rebuild my vibe-coded app from scratch, or just fix it?
Most vibe-coded apps don't need a full rewrite. A proper audit usually finds a specific, fixable list of issues, like exposed API keys or misconfigured security rules, rather than a codebase so broken it has to be scrapped. A rebuild makes sense mainly when the app has outgrown its original scope entirely.
What does a vibe-code security audit actually check?
A typical audit reviews authentication setup, database access rules like Supabase row-level security, exposed API keys or secrets, and whether payment or webhook logic runs server-side instead of in the browser. RapidDev's version is read-only, meaning nothing in your app changes during the audit itself.
Can I keep using Lovable, Bolt, or Replit after an agency fixes my app?
Usually, yes, if the agency works within your existing builder rather than migrating you off it entirely. Some firms, like Unico Connect, also offer migration off a builder's managed backend if you've outgrown it; ask upfront which path a given agency plans to take.
How do I know if my Lovable or Bubble app is ready for real users?
If you haven't had a security review of your authentication and database access rules, it probably isn't. A fixed-price audit is the fastest way to get a specific list of what needs fixing before you open the app to paying customers.
Still weighing your options?
- Fixed-price quote, usually within 48 hours
- Honest advice on which fits your build
- Fixed price, you own 100% of the code
