Lovable pricing: plans, credits and limits
Lovable pricing starts at $0. As at 10 November 2026, the Free plan gives you 5 build credits a day, up to 30 a month. Pro is $25 a month and Business is $50 a month, each with 100 monthly credits. You pay for credits, not seats.
How Lovable credits work
Credits are the real price of Lovable. Every message you send to build costs credits. Running your app and its AI features draws from the same balance. These rules are from Lovable's pricing page, read on 10 November 2026.
A message costs what the work costs
Lovable's own examples: changing a button colour is 0.50 credits. Adding sign up and login is 1.20. A landing page with images is 1.70.
Plan Mode is flat
In Plan Mode each message costs 1 credit. In the default mode the cost moves with how hard the task is.
Daily credits do not roll over
The 5 daily build credits expire at the end of each day. Use them or lose them.
Monthly credits expire too
On a monthly plan, unused credits expire two months after they are issued. Top-up credits last twelve months.
No refunds on credits
Lovable says credits are not refundable and cannot be swapped for cash.
One pool for the whole team
Every plan has unlimited members. Everyone in the workspace spends from the same credits.
What each paid plan adds
Pro, $25 a month
100 monthly credits, credit rollovers, top-ups on demand, custom domains, user roles and the Lovable badge removed.
Business, $50 a month
Everything in Pro, plus a team workspace, role-based access, single sign-on, a security centre and priority support.
Enterprise, by quote
Volume pricing with audit logs, directory sync, publishing controls and a named success manager.
Lovable limits: where it stops
Lovable is quick at a first version. We see the same limits when a Lovable app meets real users. Plan for them before you sell.
Credits run out mid-fix
A hard bug can take many messages. Each try costs credits, so a stuck bug gets expensive.
Fix one, break two
As the app grows, a new prompt can fix one thing and break another. The code gets hard to follow.
Security needs a second look
Check who can see which data, and where your keys are kept, before real users sign up.
Payments need real testing
A checkout that works in a test can still fail with real cards. Test the whole flow.
Traffic can cost extra
Lovable says hosting is covered for most small apps. Apps with heavy traffic draw on your credits.
The last part is the hard part
Logins, roles, data rules and going live take more skill than the first demo did.
Lovable alternatives
Looking at Lovable alternatives? They fall into two groups. Some build the app for you in the browser. Others are coding agents that work in your own code. We state no prices for these here. Check each vendor's own page.
Bolt
A browser builder that turns a prompt into a full app. Close to Lovable in how it feels to use.
v0
From Vercel. Strong at turning a prompt into clean screens and components.
Replit Agent
Builds and hosts the app inside Replit, so you can ship from the browser.
Claude Code or Cursor
Coding agents that work in real code files. More to learn, and more control once you do.
