Lovable builds web apps from a description, including the interface, database, logins and hosting, and runs them on its own Cloud backend. Everything is paid for in credits from one balance. The free plan gives 5 build credits a day, up to 30 a month, plus small monthly grants for Cloud and in-app AI. Pro starts at €25 a month including VAT on Lovable's European pricing page, with 100 monthly credits that roll over, custom domains and on-demand top-ups at $15 per 50 credits. Business starts at €50 with SSO, roles and a team workspace, and Enterprise adds a platform fee. Yearly billing gives two months free.

Lovable's price tag is simple. Its credit system isn't. Pro starts at €25 a month on the European pricing page, but what that buys depends on how you use one shared balance: building, chatting, hosting and the AI features inside the app you create all draw from it.
The product itself is easy to explain. You describe what you want, and Lovable builds a web app with screens, a database and logins, then hosts it on Lovable Cloud. You can keep refining it in plain language or sync the code to GitHub and work on it yourself.

Pro and Business come in bigger sizes. A dropdown on each card raises the monthly credits, and the price rises with it.
Almost every action costs something. Building in Plan or Build mode uses credits, and so do images and videos Lovable generates. Chat has its own pricing with a daily allowance. Hosting your app on Lovable Cloud, with its database, storage and compute, draws from the same balance, as do AI features you add to your app and some managed connectors, such as Perplexity or Firecrawl.
Lovable spends free grants first. Each plan, including Free, gets a daily chat allowance, 5 build credits a day, a monthly Cloud grant and a small AI grant. After those, it uses your plan credits, starting with the ones closest to expiry. Lovable calls the monthly grants and the current chat pricing temporary, so expect them to change.
Unused plan credits roll over, though not forever. On monthly billing they expire two months after they were issued. On yearly billing they last until a month after the billing year ends. That softens the usual problem with credit plans, where a quiet month wastes money.
When the balance runs out, Pro users can top up at $15 per 50 credits, or 30 cents each, according to Lovable's documentation. Business top-ups cost twice as much, at $30 per 50. If you top up every month, compare that with the price of a bigger credit tier.
You can sync a Lovable project to GitHub, so the code is yours to read, change or move. The harder part to move is everything around it. If your app runs on Lovable Cloud, the database, file storage and hosting live there too, and taking the app elsewhere means setting those up yourself. Connecting your own Supabase project from the start keeps the data in an account you control.
That trade-off is fine for prototypes and internal tools. For a product you expect to grow, decide early whether Lovable is where it will live or where it starts.
Bolt shows more of the code and suits people who want to edit it, and v0 is strongest for React and Next.js interfaces deployed on Vercel. Replit bundles an agent, hosting and databases in one place with effort-based pricing. Developers who'd rather work in their own repository usually move to Cursor or Claude Code. Our Lovable vs Bolt comparison and the vibe coding guide go deeper.
Lovable makes it easy to publish an app before it's ready. In 2025 a researcher scanned 1,645 Lovable-built apps and found 170 whose databases anyone could read, because row-level security had been left off. Business includes a security center, but the checks are still on you. Sign in as a second user to confirm people can't see each other's data, and keep API keys out of code that runs in the browser.
Not to start. The free plan gives 5 build credits a day, up to 30 a month, plus a daily chat allowance and small monthly grants for hosting and in-app AI. It allows workspace-private projects, unlimited collaborators and five lovable.app domains. Custom domains, more credits and top-ups start with Pro.
One credit balance pays for everything: building in Plan and Build modes, chatting, hosting your app and its database on Lovable Cloud, AI features inside your app and some managed connectors. Free grants are used first, then plan credits, oldest first. When credits run out you can top up on Pro or Business.
Monthly plan credits do. On monthly billing, unused credits stay valid for two months from the date they were issued; on yearly billing, until a month after the billing year ends. The daily and monthly free grants don't roll over.
Lovable's documentation lists top-ups at $15 per 50 credits on Pro, or 30 cents a credit, and $30 per 50 credits on Business. Pro and Business plans can also be bought with larger monthly credit amounts.
It can be, with care. In 2025 a researcher found 170 of 1,645 Lovable-built apps with databases anyone could read, because row-level security had been left off. Business adds a security center, but you should still test permissions with a second account and keep secrets out of the frontend before launch.
The fast issue tracker for software teams, now built for agents too: free up to 250 issues, Basic $10 and Business $16 per user a month billed yearly.
The AI code editor most developers compare against, now owned by SpaceX: Pro from $16 a month yearly, agents, Projects and its own Composer models.
A free terminal coding agent that commits every change to git. It still works with almost any model, but its releases have slowed to a trickle.
