How Lovable's pricing works: Free, Pro, Business and Enterprise, credit tiers, what a credit buys, daily and monthly grants, and worked monthly examples.
1. Lovable's plans at a glance
Lovable prices its plans by the credits they include, not by seats. Figures from Lovable's pricing page and docs, checked on November 1, 2026.
- Free: $0, with 5 build credits a day, up to 30 a month.
- Pro: from $25 a month for 100 credits, or $250 a year.
- Business: from $50 a month for 100 credits, or $500 a year.
- Enterprise: custom, with volume-based credit pricing.
Annual billing gives two months free. Pro and Business come in tiers from 100 to 10,000 credits a month: Pro's top tier is $2,250 a month and Business's is $4,300.
2. What each plan includes
Every plan includes unlimited workspace members, private projects, Git sync with GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket, and custom connectors.
Free adds a daily chat allowance, 5 build credits a day up to 30 a month, and monthly grants of 20 Cloud credits, 4 AI credits and 1 connector credit. It doesn't include editing or downloading code, custom domains, or removing the Edit with Lovable badge.
Pro adds your monthly credits, 5 daily build credits with no monthly cap, editing and downloading code, custom domains, no badge, design systems, roles and permissions, top-ups and email support.
Business adds SSO, role-based access, a security center, design templates, the Lovable API, password-protected preview links, a data processing agreement and priority support, and keeps workspace data out of model training by default.
Enterprise adds SCIM, audit logs, publishing controls, EU inference and dedicated support, but no daily or monthly grants.
3. How credits are used
One credit balance pays for building, chatting, hosting with Lovable Cloud and AI features in your app. In the default mode, a message costs more the more work it does. Plan Mode is 1 credit per message. Lovable's own examples:
- "Make the button gray": 0.50 credits
- "Remove the footer": 0.90 credits
- "Add authentication with sign up and login": 1.20 credits
- "Build me a landing page, use images": 1.70 credits
Included grants are used first, then your general credits, oldest first. Monthly plan credits expire two months after they're issued. On annual plans they expire one month after the year ends. Top-ups last 12 months, and daily build credits don't roll over.
Credits are worth different amounts on each plan: Lovable values a Pro credit at $0.25 and a Business credit at $0.50. Running an app or AI features costs the same in dollars on both, so a Business workspace sees fewer credits deducted.
4. Credit tiers and discounts
You pick a tier by how many credits you need each month. A few of Pro's tiers, billed monthly:
- 100 credits: $25
- 200 credits: $50
- 400 credits: $100
- 800 credits: $200
- 2,000 credits: $480
- 10,000 credits: $2,250
Business tiers cost twice as much for the same credits at the low end: 100 credits is $50 and 400 is $200. Annual billing on either plan gives two months free.
Verified students and teachers get 50% off Pro with 100 credits a month, billed monthly, for up to 12 months.
5. Worked examples
- Trying it out: Free gives you 30 build credits a month, enough for dozens of small changes at Lovable's example prices.
- A solo founder: Pro at $25 a month gives 100 credits, plus 5 a day that don't count against them, so up to about 250 credits in a 30-day month.
- A team of 5: still $25 a month on Pro, because there are no seat fees. The team shares the credits, and owners can set a monthly limit per member.
- A heavier month: Pro with 400 credits is $100 a month, or $84 a month billed annually.
6. Limits worth knowing
- Free can't use a custom domain, edit code in Lovable or download it.
- Credits aren't refundable. If you cancel, you can use them until the period ends; unexpired paid credits come back if you subscribe again.
- The monthly Cloud and AI grants and the chat pricing model are temporary offers that Lovable says may change.
- Top-ups are only available on Pro and Business.
7. How to keep your Lovable bill down
- Use Plan Mode to agree on the change first, so build messages land the first time.
- Make small, specific requests. Lovable's examples show simple changes cost well under a credit.
- Use your 5 daily build credits every day: they expire at midnight UTC.
- Set per-member credit limits in a shared workspace.
8. Where Cloudzyro fits
Lovable is built for making the app. To host what you build somewhere else, sync it to GitHub (available on every Lovable plan) or download it as a zip on a paid plan, then deploy it on Cloudzyro, where custom domains are free on every plan. Launch is free and allows business use; Boost is $20 a month per site with 2 CPUs, 2 GB of memory and 1 TB of traffic. If your app uses Supabase, the Database tab connects it in one click.
