Lovable pricing, explained
Last reviewed May 28, 2026 · SoftwareEstimator.com
Lovable costs $0 (Free), $25/month (Pro), $50/month (Launch), or $100/month (Scale). The Free tier gives 5 messages a day with public-only hosting; Pro adds 100 monthly credits plus 5 daily credits and private projects; Launch raises that to 300 credits with priority generation; Scale to 800 credits for high-concurrency work. Lovable bills in credits rather than raw tokens — each generation spends credits — so the real question isn’t the sticker price but how many build iterations your project needs. Prototypes and landing pages sit comfortably inside Pro; a credit-hungry app may push you to Launch or Scale.
What the credits buy
Lovable meters generations as credits, not tokens:
- → Free — $0, 5 messages/day, public hosting only
- → Pro — $25/mo, 100 monthly + 5 daily credits, private projects
- → Launch — $50/mo, 300 credits, priority queue
- → Scale — $100/mo, 800 credits, high-concurrency
Which tier fits your project
A landing page or simple prototype rarely exceeds the Free or Pro allowance. Apps with many screens and revisions burn credits faster, since every regeneration counts — that’s when Launch or Scale earn their keep. As with any agent tool, the cost tracks iterations, not the headline price.
Frequently asked questions
Is Lovable’s free plan enough to build something real?
For a small public prototype, yes. But Free caps you at 5 messages a day and public hosting only — most real projects need Pro for private projects and more credits.
Is Lovable worth $25 a month?
For shipping front-end-heavy apps and prototypes fast, yes — Pro’s 100 monthly credits and private projects cover typical solo use. Heavy iteration may need Launch ($50) or Scale ($100).
How does Lovable compare to Bolt on price?
Lovable bills in credits, Bolt in tokens, so they don’t map one-to-one. Both start near $20–25/month; the cheaper one depends on how many generation cycles your build needs.
