Summary

Our read

  • Where it fits best: Execs wanting a working web app with backend from a chat prompt.
  • Ease (5/5): A non-coder can realistically get from a blank prompt to a working, shareable tool with login and stored data in one sitting.
  • Hosting: included (Built-in (Lovable Cloud) incl. database/auth; GitHub sync). That shortens setup; it also means your app and its data live on Lovable's platform.
  • Metering to watch: allowances are counted in credits. Set a monthly spending cap before you start.

Pricing

Plans and prices

  • Free
  • Pro $25/mo (100 credits, ~$21/mo annual)
  • Business from $50/mo (~$42/mo annual)
  • Enterprise custom

Several plans show a lower monthly rate when billed annually (in brackets above). Pricing source: lovable.dev, checked 2026-10-16. Prices are USD per month unless noted.

Free plan

What the free plan includes

  • 5 build credits/day, capped 30/mo
  • publishes to lovable.app
  • no custom domain

Worth knowing: free tier limits change often.

Use the free plan to test one real workflow end to end before paying. Free allowances are the part of any plan that changes most often.

Hosting and data

Where your app and data live

Hosting and deployment: Built-in (Lovable Cloud) incl. database/auth; GitHub sync.

Data and security notes:

  • Data on Lovable Cloud
  • Business adds SSO and roles
  • review data-training settings

Code ownership: GitHub sync.

Before you upload anything sensitive, decide what data the tool may hold and who will maintain it once it works.
