Lovable

About

Lovable is an AI app builder that turns a chat conversation into a working website or full-stack web app. Its own FAQ calls it "an AI software engineer, which enables anyone to build for the web", with no technical knowledge needed. Apps can run on Lovable Cloud, its built-in backend for the database, user sign-in, storage and hosting. As of October 2026 Lovable has a free plan, Pro from $25 a month, Business from $50 a month and Enterprise with volume-based pricing. VibeRank has a dedicated page of apps built with Lovable, and we compare it on our Lovable alternatives, v0 vs Lovable and Replit vs Lovable pages. What Lovable does • Chat to build: describe what you want and Lovable builds the pages, logic and data model. Plan Mode lets you plan a change before any code is written. • Lovable Cloud: the built-in backend for apps, which the project menu lists as Database, Users, Storage, Emails and Usage, with the SQL editor, Edge functions and Jobs in the Database view (20 October 2026). Lovable's FAQ says hosting a small or new app is usually covered by the grant included with a plan. • AI features inside your app: your app can call models from several providers through Lovable, including Anthropic's Claude models with no Anthropic account or API key (added 23 September 2026 for apps created from 13 May 2026), billed from your credits. • Connectors: prebuilt connectors that let your app, or Lovable itself while you build, work with outside services. October 2026 additions include Zendesk, Neon, Metabase, Klaviyo, Loops, Cube, n8n and LlamaParse. • Chats: a workspace chat for thinking, asking and planning without changing code, free within a daily chat allowance on Free, Pro and Business (21 September 2026). • Desktop and mobile apps: native apps for macOS 13 or later and Windows 10 or later, available on all plans including Free, plus iOS and Android apps that share the same account, projects and credits. • Code ownership: Lovable's FAQ says you own the apps, code, customer data and AI output you create (subject to third-party model rights). Pricing (as of October 2026) Monthly prices are shown first. Lovable advertises "2 months free" on yearly billing. • Free: $0. A daily grant of 5 build credits (up to 30 a month), 20 Cloud credits a month and 4 credits for AI features in your app. Unlimited collaborators, 5 lovable.app domains, invite-only publishing, Cloud and community support. • Pro: $25 a month, or $21 a month billed annually. 100 monthly credits plus the free grants, unlimited users, credit rollovers, on-demand top-ups, unlimited lovable.app domains, custom domains, user roles and permissions, per-member credit limits, removal of the Lovable badge, design systems and email support. • Business: $50 a month, or $42 a month billed annually. 100 monthly credits plus everything in Pro, a team workspace, role-based access, workspace publishing, SSO, a security center, design templates and priority support. • Enterprise: platform fee with volume-based pricing. Adds directory sync (SCIM), audit logs, publishing and invite restrictions, scheduled deep security scans, sensitive data detection, EU inference, GitHub Enterprise support, a private npm registry, a named customer success manager and a custom SLA. • Students: Lovable offers up to 50% off Pro for verified students. Lovable does not charge per seat: every plan supports unlimited members, who share the workspace's credits. How credits work • Credits pay for building, for running apps on Cloud and for AI features in your apps, from one balance. • Plan Mode costs 1 credit per message. Default mode varies with task complexity; Lovable's own examples range from 0.50 credits ("Make the button gray") to 1.70 credits ("Build me a landing page, use images"). • Monthly plan credits expire two months after they are issued; annual plan credits expire one month after the annual period ends; top-up credits last 12 months; daily build grants expire at the end of each day. • Credits are not refundable. If you cancel, you keep your credits until the end of the billing period. Recent launches (from the official changelog) • 21 October 2026: department adoption insights for Business and Enterprise workspaces that use SSO without SCIM. • 20 October 2026: organizations that group several Enterprise workspaces; Lovable can create a Supabase project for an app with no backend in workspaces where the built-in backend is disabled; LlamaParse and n8n connectors. • 16 October 2026: workspace policies that block or require approval for publishing (Enterprise), an Action center for admins (Business and Enterprise), and OIDC sign-in for apps on Cloud. • 14 October 2026: Growth tools that turn a goal such as "my first 100 signups" into a plan, Sign in with Lovable for your apps and other websites, and self-service restore of deleted projects for 60 days. • 13 October 2026: WebMCP tools so AI agents built into the browser can use your app. • 8 October 2026: invite-only publishing on Free and Pro plans and nine new connectors. • 7 October 2026: credit usage limits and alerts per workspace, project or member, and Cloud database changes recorded as Drizzle migrations. • 17 September 2026: the Lovable API for listing, updating and publishing projects from your own scripts. Who it suits • Non-technical founders turning an idea into a working product with sign-in, a database and hosting. • Product managers, designers and marketers building prototypes, internal tools and landing pages. • Teams and departments that need shared credits, roles, SSO and publishing controls (Business and Enterprise). • Schools and communities, since one workspace can fund a whole group with per-member credit limits. Limitations to know • The free plan is capped at 5 build credits a day (up to 30 a month), so larger builds need a paid plan. • Credit cost per message in Default mode varies with task complexity; Lovable shows what each message cost in the message history after it runs. • Custom domains and removing the Lovable badge start on Pro; SSO starts on Business. • Apps with significant traffic or size can use credits for hosting beyond the included grant. • SCIM, audit logs, EU inference and publishing policies are Enterprise only.
