Quick Answer
Lovable’s official pricing page no longer shows the older Starter lineup used by many historical comparisons. When checked on July 31, 2026, the public monthly plans were:
| Current plan | Public monthly price | Included monthly credits | Decision cue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Free grants rather than a paid balance | Test one representative build and deployed workflow. |
| Pro | $25/month | 100 Pro credits | Add paid capacity, custom domains, roles, per-member limits, and badge removal. |
| Business | $50/month | 100 Business credits | Add team workspace, SSO, security controls, internal publishing, templates, and priority support. |
| Enterprise | Volume based | Contract based | Evaluate governance, volume pricing, onboarding, audit, connector, and publishing requirements. |

The Most Important Change: Credits Are Not Just Messages
Older Lovable articles often treated one message as a predictable unit and estimated how many prompts would build an MVP. The current official pricing page describes a broader shared credit balance:
- credits can pay for building through Lovable;
- credits can cover Lovable Cloud usage;
- credits can power AI features inside deployed apps;
- consumption varies by plan, feature, and task complexity;
- one workspace shares its credits across invited members.
This means a plan cannot be judged from message count alone. A build-heavy prototype, a deployed app with Cloud usage, and an app that exposes AI features to end users can draw from the balance in different ways.
What the Free Plan Currently Includes
Lovable’s public page currently lists:
- $0 monthly price with no credit card required;
- workspace-private projects;
- unlimited collaborators;
- five
lovable.appdomains; - Cloud access;
- community support.
Its pricing FAQ further describes free grants:
- five daily build credits, up to 30 a month;
- 20 monthly Cloud credits;
- four credits for trying AI features inside a deployed app.
Daily grants expire at the end of each day. Use Free to measure an actual workflow rather than assuming the grants will complete a production app.
A useful Free-plan test
Build one small representative feature and record:
- credits used for the accepted change;
- revisions and failed attempts;
- Cloud usage after deployment;
- AI-feature usage inside the app, if any;
- required domain, collaborator, role, security, and support controls.
The result is a better upgrade signal than a generic estimate of how many prompts an app “should” require.
When Pro Is the Better Candidate
The official monthly page lists Pro at $25 per month with 100 monthly credits. It also lists:
- the Free features;
- credit rollover under the current expiry rules;
- on-demand credit top-ups;
- unlimited
lovable.appdomains; - custom domains;
- user roles and permissions;
- per-member credit limits;
- Lovable badge removal;
- email support.
Choose Pro when one of those current entitlements is required or when a measured Free-plan test shows that paid capacity is economical for the accepted work. Do not upgrade only because a prototype is complex in theory.
When Business Is the Better Candidate
The public monthly page lists Business at $50 per month with 100 monthly credits. The plan adds current team and governance features including:
- team workspace;
- role-based access;
- internal publishing;
- personal projects;
- SSO;
- security center;
- design templates;
- priority support.
Business and Pro both display 100 monthly credits, but Lovable says credit value and consumption can depend on the subscription plan and feature. Do not compare the two plans as if every credit were interchangeable. Compare the required controls and the measured balance impact in the live workspace.
When Enterprise Needs a Sales and Contract Review
Lovable presents Enterprise with volume-based pricing rather than a public flat monthly price. Current public features include:
- dedicated support and onboarding;
- design systems;
- SCIM;
- custom connector support;
- publishing and sharing controls;
- audit logs;
- additional functionality arranged with the team.
Treat the marketing matrix as a discovery surface. Procurement should verify the written order, security materials, data terms, service commitments, support scope, volume pricing, and any required integration or governance control.
Credit Expiry and Cancellation
Lovable’s current pricing FAQ states:
- 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 twelve months from purchase;
- daily build grants expire each day and do not roll over;
- after cancellation, remaining paid credits can be used until the current billing period ends;
- unused paid credits can reactivate after resubscription if they have not expired.
Record issuance and expiry dates for a real budget. “Rollover” does not mean every type of credit remains indefinitely.
Estimate Cost per Accepted Change
For one representative feature, track:
| Cost input | What to record |
|---|---|
| Build | Credits for the accepted code change, including discarded revisions. |
| Cloud | Current hosting, function, storage, and traffic consumption for the test. |
| In-app AI | Credits consumed by representative end-user AI activity. |
| Team | Number of active members and whether per-member limits prevent one user from exhausting the balance. |
| External services | Database, email, payments, model APIs, domains, monitoring, and other separately billed dependencies. |
| Review | Engineering, security, accessibility, legal, and product review time. |
Divide the current plan and external cost by accepted work, not by prompts sent. A low-cost plan can be poor value if repeated revisions or missing controls create more review and operating work.
Plan Decision Checklist
Stay on Free when
- one representative workflow fits the current grants;
- a
lovable.appdomain is sufficient; - community support and current collaboration controls fit the trial;
- you are still testing product and platform fit.
Compare Pro when
- measured usage needs a paid balance or top-ups;
- a custom domain is required;
- roles, per-member limits, badge removal, or email support matter;
- the cost per accepted change fits the project budget.
Compare Business when
- the team needs a shared workspace with stronger administration;
- SSO, security center, internal publishing, templates, or priority support are requirements;
- the Business credit and control model performs better in a representative workspace test.
Contact Enterprise when
- audit logs, SCIM, custom connectors, publishing controls, onboarding, or negotiated volume terms are procurement requirements;
- security, data, service, or support obligations must be written into an agreement.
Lovable Pricing FAQ
Does Lovable still have a Starter plan?
No Starter plan appears on Lovable’s official pricing page checked July 31, 2026. The current public lineup is Free, Pro, Business, and Enterprise. Treat older Starter tables as historical and verify the live page before purchase.
How much do Lovable plans cost?
The public monthly pricing page checked July 31, 2026 lists Free at $0, Pro at $25 per month with 100 monthly credits, and Business at $50 per month with 100 monthly credits. Enterprise uses volume-based pricing. Currency, tax, annual billing, promotion, and checkout terms can vary.
How do Lovable credits work?
Credits are shared workspace units for building, Cloud, and AI features in deployed apps. Consumption depends on the plan, feature, and task, so one credit is not a fixed message, app, or runtime amount across every workflow.
Do unused Lovable credits roll over?
Lovable says unused monthly-plan credits expire two months after issue, annual-plan credits expire one month after the annual period ends, and top-up credits last twelve months. Daily build grants expire each day and do not roll over.
Which Lovable plan should I choose?
Start with Free for a representative build test. Choose Pro when you need paid credit capacity, custom domains, roles, per-member limits, or badge removal. Compare Business when team workspace, SSO, security controls, templates, or priority support are requirements. Use the live matrix and measured accepted-work cost for the final decision.
Does Lovable charge per user?
Lovable’s pricing FAQ says workspaces support unlimited members on all plans and subscription cost is based on included credits rather than seats. More members can consume the shared balance faster, so use workspace credit limits and current admin controls.

Bottom Line
Start with a representative Free-plan test and measure build, Cloud, in-app AI, external-service, and review cost. Move to Pro for paid capacity and individual-team controls, Business for the listed team and security features, or Enterprise when procurement requires negotiated governance and scale.
Do not use the old Starter, 100-message, five-project, or unlimited-project tables as current purchase facts. The live pricing page, workspace usage view, checkout, and applicable agreement are the final sources.
