Lovable has a Free plan and three paid plans. Pro starts at $25 a month for 100 monthly credits ($250 a year), Business starts at $50 a month for 100 credits ($500 a year), and Enterprise is custom. Both paid plans scale by credit tier, up to 10,000 credits a month ($2,250 on Pro, $4,300 on Business). Free gives you 5 build credits a day, capped at 30 a month. Every plan also gets small monthly grants for hosting (Cloud) and in-app AI, and you can buy top-ups on Pro and Business. All prices below are in US dollars from Lovable's own pricing page and documentation, checked on November 11, 2026.
Lovable doesn't charge per seat. You pay for a pool of credits that everyone in the workspace shares, and almost everything you do draws on that pool: building, chatting with the agent, hosting your app and running AI features inside it. So the real question isn't which plan to pick. It's how many credits your work will use.

Lovable Pro pricing by credit tier
Pro and Business come in monthly credit tiers. You choose the tier from a dropdown on the plan card, and annual billing gives you two months free.
| Monthly credits | Pro, billed monthly | Pro, billed annually | Business, billed monthly | Business, billed annually |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | $25 | $250 ($21/month) | $50 | $500 ($42/month) |
| 200 | $50 | $500 ($42/month) | $100 | $1,000 ($84/month) |
| 400 | $100 | $1,000 ($84/month) | $200 | $2,000 ($167/month) |
| 800 | $200 | $2,000 ($167/month) | $400 | $4,000 ($334/month) |
| 2,000 | $480 | $4,800 ($400/month) | $960 | $9,600 ($800/month) |
| 10,000 | $2,250 | $22,500 ($1,875/month) | $4,300 | $43,000 ($3,584/month) |
Lovable lists more tiers in between (1,200, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000 and 7,500 credits). At the entry tier a Pro credit works out to $0.25 and a Business credit to $0.50. That gap matters: Lovable says credits are worth more on Business, so the same hosting or AI usage costs fewer Business credits than Pro credits.
How Lovable credits work
A credit is the single unit Lovable uses for everything. It covers five kinds of usage:
- Build: Plan mode costs 1 credit per message, plus any research Lovable runs while planning. Build mode is usage-based, so small edits cost less than big generations.
- Chat: Chat mode and chats in Slack or Telegram have their own per-message price and a daily allowance. Messages are usually a fraction of a credit.
- Cloud: hosting your app and running its built-in backend (database, storage, compute and network).
- AI gateway: AI features inside your published app, priced on the model and the work done.
- Connectors: some connectors, such as Perplexity and Firecrawl, can bill through Lovable credits.
To give a sense of scale, Lovable's pricing page lists example Build mode prompts: "Make the button gray" at 0.50 credits, "Remove the footer" at 0.90, adding sign-up and login at 1.20, and a landing page with generated images at 1.70. You can see the exact cost of any message in the chat history.
Free grants are used first. The daily build credits, the daily chat allowance and the monthly Cloud, AI and connector grants all refresh on their own schedule and don't roll over. When a grant runs out, the same usage draws from your general credit balance, so you don't hit a separate wall for hosting.

What costs extra on Lovable
The subscription price is the floor, not the ceiling. Four things can raise it:
- Top-ups. On Pro, top-ups cost $15 per 50 credits ($0.30 each). On Business they're $30 per 50 credits. Top-up credits last 12 months.
- Hosting at scale. Lovable says most small or new apps run inside the included Cloud grant. Apps with significant traffic or data start drawing on your credit balance, and larger database instances cost more credits.
- AI features in your app. If your app calls AI models, those calls are charged per use after the small monthly AI grant.
- Goal runs. A Build mode message set as a goal with the /goal command keeps working until the goal is met, and Lovable notes it uses noticeably more credits than the same work as a normal message.
Lovable gives you controls for this: owners and admins on paid plans can set credit limits per member, per project or for the whole workspace, and get alerts when usage crosses a threshold. Long-running messages also pause and check in once they cost 20 credits by default.
Do Lovable credits expire?
Yes. Unused monthly plan credits roll over while your subscription is active, but they still expire two months after they were issued on monthly billing. On annual billing they stay valid until one month after the annual period ends. Daily build credits expire at the end of each day. Top-up credits last 12 months from purchase. If you cancel, you keep your remaining credits until the end of the billing period, and Lovable says unused paid credits reactivate if you resubscribe before they expire. Credits aren't refundable.
Which Lovable plan should you choose?
| Your situation | Plan |
|---|---|
| Trying Lovable on a side project | Free |
| One person building and publishing on a custom domain | Pro, 100 or 200 credits |
| A small team sharing one workspace | Pro, at the tier your combined usage needs |
| You need SSO, role-based access or a DPA | Business |
| A large organisation with volume and governance needs | Enterprise |
Start with the smallest tier and watch Usage details for two weeks. Lovable splits it into Build credits and Run credits, so you can see whether you're paying for building or for hosting. If you're a student or teacher, Lovable offers 50% off Pro at 100 credits, billed monthly, for up to 12 months.

How Lovable pricing compares
Lovable's pricing is usage-based: you buy capacity, and what you get from it depends on the work. That's flexible but harder to predict than a flat plan. For direct comparisons, see Lovable vs Replit, Base44 vs Lovable and v0 vs Lovable. If price is the main reason you're looking around, our roundups of Lovable alternatives and tools cheaper than Lovable go further.
Greta.sh is another AI app builder that generates a full-stack app from a plain-English description. Its credits aren't the same unit as Lovable's, so compare them on a real project rather than on numbers. The free plan gives you 5 credits a day but cannot deploy. Deployment and custom domain setup start on Starter (a $5/month welcome offer, normally $20/month), and Pro (a $20/month welcome offer, normally $50/month) adds the Database, Flows and GitHub version control. Greta builds its own database for the app rather than sitting on top of an existing production database. See the pricing page for credits on each plan, or our Greta.sh vs Lovable comparison.
FAQ
How much does Lovable cost?
Lovable is free to start. Pro costs from $25 a month (100 credits) or $250 a year, and Business from $50 a month (100 credits) or $500 a year. Both paid plans go up to 10,000 credits a month. Enterprise pricing is custom.
Is Lovable free?
Yes, there's a Free plan with 5 build credits a day, up to 30 a month, plus 20 Cloud credits and 4 AI credits a month. Free doesn't include custom domains, code editing or code download, and published apps show the "Edit with Lovable" badge.
What is a Lovable credit?
It's the unit Lovable uses for all usage in a workspace: building, chatting, hosting with Cloud, AI features in your app and some connectors. Plan mode messages cost 1 credit; Build mode messages vary with the work done, and you can see each message's cost in the chat.
How many credits does Lovable Pro include?
Pro starts at 100 monthly credits for $25 and goes up to 10,000 credits for $2,250 a month. Every Pro workspace also gets 5 daily build credits and a monthly grant of 20 Cloud credits on top of the plan credits.
Do Lovable credits roll over?
Monthly plan credits roll over while your subscription is active, but they expire two months after they're issued on monthly billing, or one month after the annual period ends on annual billing. Daily credits don't roll over. Top-up credits last 12 months.
Does Lovable charge per user?
No. Every plan allows unlimited workspace members, and the price depends only on the credits you buy. More people simply use the shared credits faster, and admins can set per-member limits.
Is Lovable Business worth it over Pro?
Only if you need what Business adds: SSO, role-based access, a security center, a DPA, workspace data excluded from model training by default and priority support. For a solo builder or a small team without those needs, Pro gives you the same building features at half the price per credit.
