    Lovable pricing: what each plan buys, in builds

    Plans are priced in credits, and credits are spent per message. So the useful question is how many of your builds fit in a plan. The calculator below runs on 3 library prompts we measured plus the built-in SEO review, and every price was read on 22 October 2026.

    Rollover and expiry

    Which credits disappear, and when

    Credit types on Lovable, when each refills, what happens to unused credits, and the spending order, per the docs read 22 October 2026
    Credit typeRefillsUnused creditsSpent
    Daily build credits (5)Every day, 00:00 UTCLost at day endFirst
    Monthly grants: Cloud 20, AI 4, connector 11st of the month, 00:00 UTCLost at month endFirst, for their own usage
    Monthly plan creditsEach billing cycleRoll over, expire 2 months after issueOldest first
    Top-up and referral creditsWhen you buy or earn themExpire 12 months after purchaseAfter expiring credits

    When credits hit zero

    • Building stops.
    • AI features inside your deployed app stop working.
    • Apps on the built-in backend can pause.
    • A published static site stays up.

    Docs, read 22 October 2026: Building stops, AI features in deployed apps stop working, and apps on the built-in backend pause. Admins can top up on Pro or Business, or upgrade.

    How messages are priced

    • Build mode: by the work done. Lovable's illustrative examples run from 0.50 for making a button gray to 2.00 for a landing page with images; our runs from 1.8 to 10.4.
    • Plan mode: 1 credit per message, plus any research it runs. It never edits code.
    • Chat: typically a fraction of a credit, from a daily chat allowance first. The docs mark that pricing temporary, through 31 October 2026.

    Is Pro worth €25?

    Pay when one of these is true

    100 credits at our measured rates is about 55 landing pages, or 9 SaaS foundations with auth and roles, or one product plus a few dozen change prompts.

    Pay

    Upgrade to Pro

    • You hit the 30-credit Free cap before the month ends
    • You need a custom domain, or the badge gone
    • You want credits to roll over between months
    • More than one person builds in the workspace
    • The app serves AI features to its own users, which keeps running after you stop building

    Wait

    Stay on Free

    • You build a few evenings a month
    • Your project is a landing page or a prototype
    • A lovable.app address is fine for now
    • You can wait a day for 5 new credits
    • You debug in Plan mode after two misses instead of re-prompting whole features

    The Lite card, $5 a month for hosting only when we checked on 26 September 2026, is gone, so a finished app that needs a custom domain now needs Pro. The way to burn fewer credits is the way the library prompts are written: numbered features, states named up front, a build order, and a closing line that asks Lovable to put its questions first.

    Frequently asked

    How much does Lovable cost per month?

    On 22 October 2026 the pricing page printed Free at €0, Pro at €25 a month for 100 credits and Business at €50 a month for 100 credits, with yearly billing at €21 and €42 a month. The Pro ladder runs to 10,000 credits at €2,250. Enterprise is a platform fee with volume pricing, priced on a call.

    Is Lovable free?

    Yes, with a daily meter: 5 build credits a day up to 30 a month, plus 20 Cloud credits, 4 AI credits and 1 connector credit a month, unlimited collaborators and invite-only publishing. No card. Custom domains need a paid plan. One structured prompt fits inside one day: our landing page run cost 1.8 credits.

    How many credits does one prompt cost?

    Lovable publishes no per-prompt figure because Build mode is billed on the work done. Our 3 measured runs cost 1.8 credits (landing page + email opt-in) to 10.4 credits (saas mvp with user auth), each read from the workspace credits page before and after. Lovable's own illustrative examples run from 0.50 for a button colour to 2.00 for a landing page with images.

    What is one Lovable credit worth?

    €0.25 on Pro from 100 to 800 credits a month, then a discount that starts at 2% at 1,200 credits and reaches 10% at 5,000, where it stays to 10,000. Business credits cost more per credit; Lovable's FAQ says running an app costs the same money on both plans, so a Business account sees lower credit usage for the same work.

    Do Lovable credits roll over?

    Monthly plan credits do, for 2 months, while the subscription is active. Daily build credits and the monthly Cloud, AI and connector grants do not. Top-up and referral credits expire 12 months after purchase. Source: Lovable's credits documentation, read 22 October 2026.

    What happens when credits run out?

    Building stops and AI features inside your deployed app stop working. Apps on the built-in backend can pause. A published static site stays up. On Pro and Business an admin can top up or move up the ladder; on Free you wait for the next day's 5 credits.

    Does Lovable have a student discount?

    Up to 50% off Pro for verified students, plus a campus plan for universities, according to the pricing page read 22 October 2026. Verification runs through the Get started link under Lovable for students.
