Lovable pricing in 2026: plans, credits and what a build costs

Lovable prices by credits, not seats. Here is what the plans include and how quickly credits go.

We.Inc is free to start, no credit card. AI building from $20/mo.

The short answer

How much does Lovable cost? Lovable (lovable.dev) is free to start, then Pro from $25 a month and Business from $50 a month, each with 100 monthly credits, plus custom-priced Enterprise; yearly billing gives two months free (lovable.dev/pricing, October 28, 2026). The price you actually pay depends on how many credits you need, because each paid plan scales up to larger credit tiers.

Lovable is free with 5 build credits a day (up to 30 a month); Pro is $25 a month and Business is $50 a month, each starting at 100 monthly credits, with larger credit tiers above that. Plans cover unlimited workspace members; everyone shares the credit pool.

Credits pay for building, for hosting on Lovable Cloud and for AI features inside your app. A simple edit can cost under 1 credit; bigger tasks cost more.

Pros and cons

Lovable

Best for: Founders and makers prototyping web apps from chat

Price: Free (5 build credits a day, up to 30 a month); Pro $25 a month (100 credits); Business $50 a month (100 credits)

Pros: Good at turning an idea into a working React app quickly; No per-seat pricing; Plan Mode lets you plan before spending build credits

Cons: Credit cost per message varies, so bills are hard to predict; Credits are not refundable; Monthly credits expire two months after they are issued

We.Inc

Best for: Business owners who want a finished website, not an app project

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: Describe what you want in chat and AI builds a full, editable site or app; Edit by clicking on the page, by asking in chat, or in a real code editor; Export the React and TypeScript code to GitHub, so you are never locked in; Unlimited sites on paid plans, custom domains from Starter

Cons: The free plan is templates only; AI building needs a paid plan; Newer platform with a smaller app marketplace than the big names; Store features are simpler than a dedicated ecommerce platform

How many credits does a Lovable project use?

Lovable says Plan Mode costs 1 credit per message and Default Mode varies with task complexity; its own examples range from about half a credit to under 2 credits per request. A small landing page might take 20 to 40 requests to polish, which fits in Pro's 100 credits. An app with logins, a database and payments usually takes more.

Lovable free credits: what the free plan includes

The free plan's main allowance is 5 build credits a day, capped at 30 a month. Daily credits expire at the end of the day, so unused ones are lost rather than saved. On top of that, Lovable's docs list small monthly grants on Free, Pro and Business: 20 Cloud credits for hosting and backend use, 4 AI credits for AI features inside your app, and 1 connector credit.

Lovable lists workspace-private projects on Free, but custom domains start on Pro.

Lovable credit tiers above 100 credits

Pro and Business are not fixed-price plans. Each starts at 100 monthly credits ($25 for Pro, $50 for Business on monthly billing) and can be raised in steps. Lovable's plan documentation lists the largest tier as 10,000 credits a month, priced at $2,250 on Pro and $4,300 on Business (checked October 24, 2026). Pick the smallest tier that covers a normal month and buy top-ups for busy months; Lovable says top-up credits last twelve months.

What one Lovable credit buys

Lovable's docs give examples rather than a fixed rate: Plan mode costs 1 credit per message plus any research it runs, build requests range from about 0.5 credits for a colour change to about 2 credits for a landing page with generated images, and plain chat replies usually cost a fraction of a credit. So 100 credits is roughly 50 to 200 build requests, depending on how big each one is.

Ways to pay less for Lovable

Use Plan mode to agree a change before building it, batch several edits into one message, and fix small text in the code editor instead of by prompt. Lovable also offers a student discount for people with a valid university email, claimed at lovable.dev/students; the pricing page does not state the discount amount, so check it there before you subscribe.

If you are still deciding whether Lovable is the right tool at all, our Lovable review covers the verdict and who it suits.

Pro or Business?

Pick Pro for one person or a small team. Business costs more for the same credit count because it adds team controls such as private projects; Lovable notes that running apps costs the same on both, so switch only when you need those controls.

Is Lovable the cheapest way to build a website?

Not usually. Lovable is built for apps. If you need a business website, a website builder is cheaper and simpler.

Paying for Lovable credits just to get a website?

Lovable is priced for building apps, and credits go on every prompt, fix and retry. If the thing you need is a marketing site for a business rather than an app with logins and a database, that model can cost more than the result is worth.

We.Inc is built for websites first: describe the business and it writes a complete, editable site, with the code exportable to GitHub. Starter is $20 a month for 250 credits, Pro $49 and Max $99. If you are building a real software product, Lovable's app tooling is the better fit; for a business website, compare what each spends to get the same pages live.
