The full analysis
What's free
Lovable offers a Free plan that allows you to try the tool and build smaller projects. The free tier includes 5 daily build credits, which reset every day at 00:00 UTC. However, these credits are capped at 30 per calendar month. Once you reach this limit, Lovable stops granting the daily 5 credits for the rest of that month, and they resume on the 1st of the next month. The plan also includes a monthly Cloud grant of 20 credits and a monthly AI grant of 4 credits. You get unlimited workspace members, workspace-private projects, and the ability to create custom connectors. Support is provided via the community. Git sync is also available on the free tier. pricing pageSource · vendor pagePricing page (docs.lovable.dev), checked Sep 28, 2026.Go to sources ↓
What paying adds
Upgrading to the Pro plan ($25/month) removes the 30-build monthly cap, allowing you to continue using daily build credits throughout the month. The Pro plan also includes a larger daily chat allowance compared to the free tier. Key features unlocked include the ability to edit code, download code, use custom domains, and remove the "Edit with Lovable" badge. You also get access to design systems and credit rollovers. The Business plan ($50/month) adds design templates, personal projects within a workspace, internal publish, Lovable API access, and advanced security features like SSO and role-based access. Enterprise plans offer volume-based credits and governance features like SCIM and audit logs. pricing pageSource · vendor pagePricing page (docs.lovable.dev), checked Sep 28, 2026.Go to sources ↓
Bottom line
Paying is worth it if you consistently use more than 30 builds a month or need to download your code. The Pro plan is the best choice for most users who need these features without the enterprise overhead. If you are a student or teacher, you can get 50% off the Pro plan with 100 credits per month for up to 12 months. pricing pageSource · vendor pagePricing page (docs.lovable.dev), checked Sep 28, 2026.Go to sources ↓
