Lovable pricing vs v0: plans, credits and hosting

v0 is Vercel's app builder: you spend dollar-value credits priced per token and deploy to Vercel. Lovable spends credits per message, hosts the app itself, and does not charge per seat.

Lovable or v0: how to choose

Pick v0 if your team already runs on Vercel or you want to see exactly what each model costs. Its pricing page publishes per-million-token rates for four models, from v0 Mini to v0 Max Fast, and paid plans include $30 of monthly credit per user plus $2 of free daily credit on login. Pick Lovable if you want a flat team price, hosting and a backend in one place, and two-way GitHub sync on the free plan.

Lovable Pro is $25 a month for the whole workspace, Business $50, and yearly billing gives two months free. v0 Plus is $30 per user a month and Business $100 per user a month, with Business adding a training opt-out by default. For a team of three, that is $25 on Lovable Pro against $90 on v0 Plus, though v0 gives each of them their own $30 of credit.

If the project is a site for your business rather than an app, We.Inc writes it from a description and includes forms, a blog CMS and analytics. AI building starts at $20 a month.

Pros and cons

Lovable

Best for: Small teams who want one flat bill, built-in hosting and a backend without wiring up other services

Price: Free tier; Pro $25/mo; Business $50/mo; two months free on yearly billing; Enterprise priced by volume (October 2026)

Pros: No per-user pricing on any plan; Lovable Cloud gives a database and sign-in without a separate account; Unused monthly credits roll over while subscribed

Cons: Credits are not tied to a published per-token rate, so cost per change is less predictable; Git sync cannot connect to an existing repository

v0

Best for: Developers and Vercel customers who want transparent model pricing and deploys to Vercel

Price: Free ($5 one-time credit for new users); Plus $30 per user a month; Business $100 per user a month; Enterprise custom (October 2026)

Pros: Model rates per million tokens are published, from $0.20 input on v0 Mini; $2 of free daily credit on login for each paid user; Billing is centralised on vercel.com

Cons: The free credit is a one-time grant rather than monthly; Each additional person adds the full per-user price

We.Inc

Best for: Someone choosing between two app builders who mainly needs a website that brings in enquiries

Price: Free plan: up to 3 template sites on a we.inc address, no AI. AI building from $20/mo (Starter, 250 credits). Pro $49/mo, Max $99/mo.

Pros: Form submissions are emailed to you and saved in a Contacts list; Exported code deploys to Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare Pages if you later move

Cons: No AI on the free plan; Its store is simpler than dedicated ecommerce software

Dollar credits and token rates at v0

v0 meters usage in dollars. Every prompt and reply is counted in input and output tokens, and the pricing page lists a rate for each model: v0 Mini at $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens, v0 Pro at $2 and $10, v0 Max at $5 and $25, and v0 Max Fast at $10 and $50. Cache writes and reads have their own lower rates. Paid users get $30 of monthly credit each plus $2 of free daily credit on login, and extra credit can be bought and shared across the team.

The FAQ on the same page includes the question of why short prompts can still use many input tokens, which is worth reading before you budget. Choosing v0 Mini for small edits and saving v0 Max for hard problems is the main way to stretch a month's credit.

Lovable's grants and rollovers

Lovable counts credits per message and layers several allowances on top. Its documentation lists a daily chat allowance, daily build credits, and monthly Cloud, AI gateway and connector grants, all labelled temporary. Monthly plan credits roll over while you stay subscribed but expire two months after issue on monthly billing, and top-ups last twelve months. You cannot read a per-token price off the page, but you also do not pay more as you add teammates.

Situations where v0 makes more sense

Your company deploys on Vercel already, so a v0 app lands next to everything else and billing joins your existing Vercel account. You want Design Mode for visual tweaks on a free plan. Or you care about data use: Business turns off training by default, and Enterprise adds SAML SSO, role-based access and guaranteed support response times.

Situations where Lovable makes more sense

You are a founder or a small group who wants one predictable bill, and you want the database and sign-in hosted for you rather than connecting them to a Vercel project. Lovable also suits teams that grow and shrink, since adding a person changes nothing on the invoice.

Moving between v0 and Lovable

Both sides speak GitHub. v0's pricing page lists GitHub sync on the free plan, and Lovable's documentation describes two-way sync with github.com on every plan. To bring a v0 project into Lovable, follow Lovable's own advice for existing code: download the repository as a ZIP, import it as a new project, then connect Git sync, because Lovable always creates a fresh repository.

To go from Lovable to v0, sync or download the Lovable codebase and connect that repository in v0. In both directions, check anything that relied on the platform you are leaving: Lovable Cloud data and sign-ins, or environment variables and settings in your Vercel project. Point your domain at the new host once the move is tested.

Frequently asked questions

Is v0 free?

There is a $0 plan. As of October 2026, v0's pricing page says new users get $5 of one-time credit, with a limit of seven messages a day, deploys to Vercel, Design Mode and GitHub sync. Earlier versions of the plan described a monthly $5 credit, so treat the free tier as a trial rather than a recurring allowance.

Why does v0 cost more for a team than Lovable?

v0 prices Plus and Business per user, at $30 and $100 a month each, and gives every user their own $30 monthly credit. Lovable charges one price per workspace, $25 on Pro or $50 on Business, with unlimited users sharing the credits. Heavy individual users may still find v0's per-person credit worth the higher bill.

Can I host a v0 app somewhere other than Vercel?

v0 lists deploying to Vercel as its built-in route. Because the code can sync to GitHub, you can connect that repository to another host yourself, though you would then manage the build settings. Lovable hosts apps on its own platform and also lets you deploy the synced code elsewhere.

Which one has better visual editing?

v0 includes Design Mode for visual edits on every plan, including free. Lovable works mainly through chat, with Plan mode for thinking through changes and Build mode for making them, and its paid plans add design systems and design templates. Try both on the same small page to see which suits you.
