Lovable Pricing 2026: Free Plan, Pro Tiers and Credits
Lovable pricing 2026: free with 5 daily credits, Pro from $25/mo for 100 credits up to $2,250 for 10,000, Business from $50, and what one credit buys.
Lovable is free to start with 5 build credits a day, capped at 30 a month. Pro costs $25 a month for 100 credits and scales by tier to $2,250 for 10,000 credits; Business starts at $50 a month for 100 credits. Every plan allows unlimited members sharing one credit pool, and annual billing gives two months free[1][2].
A credit costs $0.25 on entry Pro and $0.225 on the 10,000-credit tier. By Lovable's own examples, a small edit uses 0.5 credits and a landing page with images 1.7. Prices verified on 2026-10-11.
Lovable builds web apps from chat prompts and charges in credits rather than seats. That makes the pricing page simple to read and hard to budget, because the cost of each message depends on what you ask for. This page lists every tier, computes the cost per credit and translates credits into tasks.

2. Pro and Business credit tiers
Monthly prices from Lovable's documentation, with cost per credit computed[1]:
| Monthly credits | Pro / month | Pro per credit | Business / month | Business per credit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | $25 | $0.250 | $50 | $0.500 |
| 200 | $50 | $0.250 | $100 | $0.500 |
| 400 | $100 | $0.250 | $200 | $0.500 |
| 800 | $200 | $0.250 | $400 | $0.500 |
| 1,200 | $294 | $0.245 | $588 | $0.490 |
| 2,000 | $480 | $0.240 | $960 | $0.480 |
| 3,000 | $705 | $0.235 | $1,410 | $0.470 |
| 4,000 | $920 | $0.230 | $1,840 | $0.460 |
| 5,000 | $1,125 | $0.225 | $2,250 | $0.450 |
| 7,500 | $1,688 | $0.225 | $3,300 | $0.440 |
| 10,000 | $2,250 | $0.225 | $4,300 | $0.430 |
The discount for volume is small: a Pro credit costs $0.250 at 100 credits and $0.225 at 10,000. Business credits cost about twice as much for the same count, which pays for SSO and governance features rather than more building. Annual billing charges ten months for twelve[1].
3. What does a Lovable credit buy?
Credit use depends on task complexity in the default mode, while Plan Mode costs 1 credit per message. Lovable publishes these examples[2]:
| Prompt | Credits | Cost on entry Pro | Tasks per 100 credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Make the button gray | 0.50 | $0.125 | 200 |
| Remove the footer | 0.90 | $0.225 | 111 |
| Add authentication with sign up and login | 1.20 | $0.300 | 83 |
| Build a landing page with 3 generated images | 1.70 | $0.425 | 58 |
Credits also pay for running deployed apps on Lovable Cloud and for AI features inside those apps, after the monthly Cloud and AI grants are used[2]. For a small new app, Lovable says hosting is usually covered by the included grant.
4. The free plan and daily credits
The free plan gives 5 build credits a day, capped at 30 a month, plus 20 Cloud credits a month and a small AI grant[2]. Pro and Business also receive the 5 daily build credits, without the monthly cap; daily credits reset at 00:00 UTC and do not roll over[1]. Used every day of a 30-day month, that is up to 150 extra build credits on top of a paid tier.
5. Expiry, top-ups and discounts
- Expiry: monthly plan credits expire two months after they are issued; annual-plan credits expire one month after the annual period ends; top-up credits last 12 months[2].
- Members: unlimited on every plan, sharing one pool, with optional per-member credit limits[2].
- Students and teachers: 50% off the 100-credit Pro plan for up to 12 months, monthly billing only[1].
- Refunds: credits are not refundable or redeemable for cash[2].
6. Which Lovable plan fits?
- Trying the tool: Free, 5 credits a day.
- A solo founder building an MVP: Pro at 100 or 200 credits ($25 or $50), plus the daily credits.
- A small team on one product: Pro at a higher tier, shared by everyone, rather than Business.
- Companies that need SSO or role-based access: Business.
