Lovable pricing
Lovable has a free plan, then Pro from $25 a month and Business from $50 a month. Both paid plans start at 100 monthly credits and scale up to 10,000. Yearly billing brings the entry price down to $21 (Pro) and $42 (Business) a month.
Business gives you the same number of credits at twice the price. You pay the extra for team controls such as SSO, role-based access and internal publishing, not for more building. If you are one person or a small team, Pro is the plan to compare.
The four plans at a glance

| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Volume |
- Free: 5 build credits a day (up to 30 a month), private projects, unlimited collaborators, 5 lovable.app domains and Cloud.
- Pro: credit rollover, on-demand top-ups, custom domains, user roles, per-member credit limits and no Lovable badge.

Every plan, including Free, allows unlimited users in a workspace. Lovable does not charge per seat: everyone in the workspace builds from one shared credit pool on one bill.
Every credit tier and the real cost per credit
The 100-credit price is only the starting point. Both paid plans have a dropdown with 11 credit tiers. Small tiers cost the same per credit; discounts only start at 1,200 credits a month.
| Credits a month | Pro | Business |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | $25 $0.250 each | $50 $0.500 each |
| 200 | $50 $0.250 each | $100 $0.500 each |
| 400 | $100 $0.250 each | $200 $0.500 each |
| 800 | $200 $0.250 each | $400 $0.500 each |
| 1,200 | $294 $0.245 each | $588 $0.490 each |
| 2,000 | $480 $0.240 each | $960 $0.480 each |
| 3,000 | $705 $0.235 each | $1,410 $0.470 each |
| 4,000 | $920 $0.230 each | $1,840 $0.460 each |
| 5,000 | $1,125 $0.225 each | $2,250 $0.450 each |
| 7,500 | $1,688 $0.225 each | $3,300 $0.440 each |
| 10,000 | $2,250 $0.225 each | $4,300 $0.430 each |
Monthly prices as listed on the pricing page; per-credit figures are our division. The biggest Pro discount is 10%, so buying a large tier "just in case" saves little. Pick the smallest tier you actually use up, then top up on demand.
Is 100 credits enough?
Lovable does not charge a fixed amount per message. In the default mode, the cost depends on how big the change is. Lovable publishes four 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" (3 images, theme, 5 sections): 1.70 credits
Plan Mode, where Lovable thinks through a change before building it, costs a flat 1 credit per message.
So 100 credits works out to roughly 60 messages if every request is a page-sized build, or about 200 if they are small tweaks. On top of that, paid plans keep the daily grant of 5 build credits, which adds up to around 150 more a month if you build every day (some regional plans cap the daily grant at 30 a month). For one person building one app in the evenings, 100 credits plus the daily grant is usually enough. A team shipping every day will hit the limit and should look at 200 or 400.
You can check what each message actually cost by hovering over the three dots next to it in the chat history. Do that for your first week before choosing a bigger tier.
Hosting and Cloud costs
Running a published app is charged in the same credits. Every plan includes a monthly grant of 20 Cloud credits, and Lovable says that for most small or new apps this grant covers publishing and keeping the app online. Apps with significant traffic or size start drawing from your credit balance beyond that grant.
AI features inside your app (for example a chatbot your users talk to) also draw from the same balance. The free plan includes 4 credits to try this before you pay.
Rollover, expiry, refunds and cancelling
- Monthly plan credits expire two months after they are issued, so unused credits roll over for one extra month.
- Annual plan credits expire one month after your annual period ends.
- Top-up credits last twelve months from purchase.
- Daily build credits expire at the end of each day and do not roll over.
- Refunds: credits are not refundable or redeemable for cash.
- Cancelling: you keep your credits until the end of the billing period, then drop to Free. Unused paid credits come back if you re-subscribe before they expire.
Discounts
Yearly billing is labelled "2 months free" on the pricing page: Pro drops from $25 to $21 a month and Business from $50 to $42 a month at the 100-credit tier. Students who verify their status can get up to 50% off Pro. There is also a campus plan for universities, sold through Lovable's sales team.
The pricing page we checked lists Free, Pro, Business and Enterprise only. If you see a "Lite" plan mentioned elsewhere, it is not on the official page today.

Questions people ask
How much does Lovable cost per month?
Lovable is free to start. Pro costs $25 a month for 100 credits and Business $50 a month for 100 credits. Both scale to 10,000 credits a month, which costs $2,250 on Pro and $4,300 on Business. Yearly billing lowers the entry price to $21 and $42 a month.
Is 100 credits enough on Lovable?
For one person building one app, usually yes. Lovable lists typical messages at 0.50 to 1.70 credits, so 100 credits is roughly 60 to 200 messages, and paid plans also keep the daily grant of 5 build credits.
What is the difference between Lovable Pro and Business?
Both include the same number of credits per tier. Business costs twice as much per credit and adds team features: team workspace, role-based access, internal publishing, SSO, a security center and priority support.
Do Lovable credits roll over?
Yes, for a limited time. Monthly plan credits expire two months after they are issued, annual plan credits one month after the annual period ends, and top-up credits after twelve months. Daily build credits do not roll over.
Does Lovable charge per user?
No. All plans allow unlimited users. Everyone in a workspace shares the same credit pool, and on Pro you can set a credit limit for each member.
Does Lovable have a student discount?
Yes. Students who verify their status can get up to 50% off Lovable Pro.
