# Lovable

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

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.

## Ways to pay less

- **Two months free with yearly billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page's Yearly toggle is labeled 2 months free. Pro with 100 credits is $250 a year instead of $25 a month, and Business is $500 instead of $50 a month. Source: https://lovable.dev/pricing
- **50% off Pro for students and teachers** (Education): Verified students and teachers pay $12.50 a month for the Pro plan with 100 credits, billed monthly, for up to 12 months. Each person can use the discount once. Source: https://lovable.dev/students

## 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.

## 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.
