Lovable

Chat-based AI builder for full-stack web apps and websites

Our verdict

Second of our top three AI app builders

For: People building a web app in chat, alone or with a team

Lovable builds a full-stack web app from a chat prompt: frontend, backend, database and sign-in, as code that syncs to GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket on every plan. Unlimited members share one pool of credits with no per-seat fee, and it has web, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android apps; the iPhone and iPad app averages 4.8 from about 2,200 ratings. Pro starts at $25 a month, or $250 a year, for 100 credits. It is second because it builds web apps only, with nothing for the App Store or Google Play, and Pro costs more than Replit Core. The Free plan stops at 30 build credits a month, with no custom domains or code editing.

What is Lovable?

Lovable builds web applications from natural-language prompts, generating the frontend, backend, database and authentication as editable code. Projects live in shared workspaces, can be synced to GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket, and publish to a web URL with optional custom domains. Plans are priced by monthly credits rather than by seat, and the same credit balance pays for building, hosting and AI features inside deployed apps.

Lovable has a free plan. Paid plans start at $21 per month, billed annually ($250 a year); $25 billed monthly. See every plan

Good for

Founders and product teams turning an idea into a working web app
Teams building internal tools from one shared credit pool, with no per-seat fee
Developers who want generated code synced to their own Git repository

Worth knowing

Usage is metered in credits, and a Build mode message costs a variable amount depending on the task.
Free workspaces get 30 build credits a month at most and cannot use custom domains, edit code or remove the Lovable badge.
SSO, role-based access and internal publishing start on Business, which costs twice as much as Pro for the same credits.
Lovable builds web apps: publishing deploys to a web URL, not to the App Store or Google Play.

Key features

Prompt-to-app building: Describe an app in chat and Lovable generates working code. Plan mode costs 1 credit per message, while Build mode charges by the complexity of the task.
Lovable Cloud backend: A built-in backend covers database, storage, compute and realtime usage for deployed apps, paid from the same credits. Every plan includes a monthly grant of 20 Cloud credits.
Git sync and code ownership: Each project is a codebase that can sync with GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket on every plan. Editing and downloading code inside Lovable starts on Pro.
Publishing and custom domains: Apps publish to a lovable.app address: 5 domains on Free, unlimited from Pro. Custom domains and removing the Lovable badge need a paid plan.
Connectors and MCP servers: A connector catalog links apps and chats to services such as Slack, HubSpot and Notion, and custom MCP servers can be added for extra context while building.
Shared workspaces: Unlimited members build from one shared credit pool on every plan. Owners can set per-member monthly credit limits on paid plans.
