What is Lovable?
Lovable is an AI platform for building web applications by describing them in plain language. It generates the frontend, backend, database, authentication and integrations, hosts the result, and keeps the code editable and syncable to GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket. One credit balance pays for building, chatting, hosting and AI features in your app. You can start free; paid plans start at €25 a month on the pricing page we saw.
What you build with it
Lovable is meant for building whole web apps, not just snippets. You describe what you want, and Lovable generates a working application with frontend, backend, database, authentication and integrations, backed by code you can edit. You then refine it in the project chat and publish it.
Lovable's documentation lists typical uses: working prototypes with real data, internal tools that replace spreadsheets or per-seat software, client projects for agencies and side projects. Engineering teams can review and extend the generated code through Git sync.
Workspaces, projects and chats
Each project is one app with its own chat, preview, code and version history. Projects live in a workspace, which holds members, billing and a shared pool of credits, so a team builds from one plan. Separate Chats let you think through ideas or ask about your apps; when something needs building, the chat sends the work to a project.
Lovable also runs what you build: it handles hosting, SSL and the backend through Lovable Cloud, and offers connectors, payments, analytics and SEO tools. The site says your code and data stay yours.
How credits work
One credit balance covers building, chatting, Cloud hosting, AI features in your deployed app and some connectors. Usage-specific grants are spent first: a daily chat allowance, daily build credits, and monthly Cloud, AI and connector grants. Lovable notes that the monthly grants and current chat pricing are temporary and subject to change.
Monthly plan credits roll over while your subscription is active and expire two months after issue on monthly plans. Top-up credits on Pro and Business last 12 months. When a workspace runs out of credits, building stops, AI features in deployed apps stop and apps using the built-in backend pause, so admins should set usage limits and alerts.
Plans
The pricing page we saw on November 7, 2026 listed prices in euros: Free at €0 with no credit card, unlimited collaborators and five lovable.app domains; Pro at €25 a month with 100 credits, credit rollovers, top-ups, custom domains, code editing and download, and badge removal; Business at €50 a month with 100 credits, SSO, role-based access, a security center and personal projects within a workspace; and Enterprise with a platform fee and volume pricing. Every plan works in a shared workspace. Higher credit tiers are selectable on paid plans.
Plans are priced by credits, not by projects or seats. Yearly billing gives two months free. Verified students and teachers get 50% off for up to 12 months, but only on Pro with 100 credits a month billed monthly. Your displayed currency and price may differ by region.
A first workflow to try
Start on the free plan with one small app you actually need, such as a booking form with a database. Watch how many build credits each change costs. On Free, sync the project to GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket and review the code there; editing code directly in Lovable and downloading it require Pro or higher. Before relying on it for production, review security settings and the out-of-credits behaviour, because a paused backend takes the app offline.
What stands out
- Full-stack generation: frontend, backend, database, authentication
- Built-in hosting, SSL and backend (Lovable Cloud)
- Git sync with GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket
- Shared workspaces with unlimited collaborators
- Connectors, payments and AI features for deployed apps
Before you choose
- Running out of credits pauses apps that use the built-in backend.
- On Free, code editing and download in Lovable are unavailable; Git sync works.
- Credit cost per change varies, so budgets are hard to predict up front.
- Monthly grants and chat pricing are marked temporary by Lovable.
- Prices shown in euros; generated code still needs review before production.
