What Is Lovable? Free Plan, Pro Pricing, Credit Limits, Turkish and Building Websites

You describe what you want to build in a chat: "a mobile-friendly café website with a menu filterable by category". Lovable writes the interface and, if needed, the database and user login, and shows the result in a live preview next to the chat. When you're happy, you publish with one click; Lovable handles the hosting.

According to the official docs, things people build include company websites and landing pages, dashboards, customer portals, booking and marketplace apps, and AI chatbots. It can also generate files such as presentations, images, short videos and PDFs.

!Lovable builds web apps; it does not build native mobile apps to publish on the App Store or Google Play. If you want it to open like an app on a phone, you can make a PWA of the site that opens via "add to home screen", or wrap the published URL with Capacitor outside Lovable; the latter is a separate project.

Who it's for: business owners, consultants, teachers and content creators who want to build a promo site, a form or a simple app without coding. People who can code also use it for a fast first version.

You use Lovable in the browser without installing anything. The desktop and phone apps work with the same account, projects and credits.

1. 1Sign in and describe what you want to build in plain language in the prompt box ("Ask Lovable to create…"); you can write in any language.
2. 2The first version arrives in a few minutes. Try it in the live preview on the right and ask for fixes in the chat on the left.
3. 3For small visual changes, select the element in the preview and write what you want.
4. 4When it's ready, press the Publish button at the top right twice; the site goes live at a lovable.app address.

!AI can make mistakes. The terms of use ask you not to use output for high-risk matters such as health, law or finance without reviewing it. Check prices, dates and legal text yourself before publishing.

Lovable splits into four jobs. For most people the first two are enough: building through chat and publishing.

You can also open your app only to people you invite. On every plan, by default, it is public to anyone who knows the published URL; the "invited only" option is available on every plan.

Publishing: when you press Publish, Lovable puts the current state of the project at an address; you don't need to set up a server, and HTTPS is included. Publishing to a lovable.app address is free on every plan. A small security scan (Quick scan) runs automatically when you publish.

Your own domain: on paid plans you connect your own domain from Project › Settings› then Domains or buy a domain through Lovable (the domain price isn't listed in the official docs; you see it at checkout). You must publish the project first. To buy a domain you must be an admin or owner of the workspace.

Database and login: by default every project can use the built-in backend (Cloud): database, user login, file storage. Just write "add user login". The free plan has 20 Cloud credits per month; growing apps exceed this and spend from the general credits.

• The free plan doesn't limit visitors or bandwidth for published sites; the one exception: for new apps created after May 13, 2026, a limit of 1,000 server requests per 10 seconds per project (page loads and server functions count, image and script files don't).
• In a free workspace, a site that gets no visits for 12 months and whose owner doesn't sign in may be unpublished.
• Sites show an "Edit with Lovable" badge at the bottom; it can be turned off on paid plans.

With these integrations, Lovable opens your project to other services or to your own accounts.

On every plan, the code can also be obtained through Git sync. The database is outside the code: it is exported from More › Cloud › Overview › Advanced settings; export files don't include function code or secrets.

!Lovable doesn't let you choose a framework (such as Next.js) or a database; everything uses the same stack. If you want to move to another stack, you sync the code with Git and continue outside Lovable.

Lovable tries to write code that avoids common security mistakes and offers two scans: Quick scan runs automatically on every publish (database access rules, known vulnerable packages), and Deep scan is run manually from the Security view and looks at the app's logic. Findings are labeled "Critical", "Warning" and "Info".

• Scans don't guarantee security. For apps that handle sensitive data or critical work, consider a separate professional security review.
• You are responsible for your app's security; check whether there is a screen that can show someone else's data or an action anyone can trigger.
• Don't write secret keys into the page code; use Lovable's secrets field.

Yes, there is a free plan. On Free you can build, see the live preview and publish at a lovable.app address. You can't edit or download the code, connect your own domain or add built-in payments. Plans are priced not by seats but by the credits they give each month; you can add as many people as you like to a workspace.

Prices may not include tax; tax is added at checkout and on the invoice. A separate rate or regional plan for Turkey is not stated in the official documentation. The official pricing page says that on some regional plans daily credits are capped at 30 per month; whether Turkey falls in this scope is unclear. Before paying, go by the limit you see on the plan screen.

Official pricing page last checked on October 28, 2026.

Credits are the unit Lovable uses to measure usage. There is a single balance; it covers building the site, chatting with Lovable, hosting and the backend (Cloud) of the site you publish, and AI features inside the site. The number of messages isn't fixed: the bigger the task, the more credits it uses.

The figures are examples given by Lovable; actual cost varies by project. You can see the exact cost of each reply in the "Credits used" menu under it. A stopped prompt is charged only for the work already done.

A single long-running prompt pauses at a 20-credit threshold (adjustable in settings) and asks whether to continue, so there is no unexpected spending.

The language of the site you build depends on your prompt: if you give the text in Turkish, the site will be in Turkish too. Review the generated Turkish text before publishing.

!Before attaching a file with a customer list, ID or health information to a prompt, turn off the training setting; never upload sensitive data at all.

Yes. According to the terms of use, you own customer data and AI output, including apps and sites; only third-party rights in models or open-source components are reserved. You can use the site commercially and host it outside Lovable.

• Lovable owns lovable.app addresses; use your own domain for your site's permanent address.
• AI output may be similar or identical to other users' output and is not guaranteed to be original; review it before publishing.

Yes. Verified students and teachers get 50% off the 100-credit, monthly-billed version of the Pro plan for up to 12 months.

1. 1Sign up with your academic email address or sign in to an account opened with that address (Lovable looks up the email domain in its school list).
2. 2At lovable.dev/students, choose Student or Teacher under "Verify student status" and answer the questions.
3. 3Once verified, choose the "Pro for Students" plan. Verification is valid for 12 months; the discount lasts up to 12 months from the start of the subscription.

• Only workspaces on the Free plan can be verified, and each person can use the discount once. Other plans, yearly billing or higher tiers are not discounted.
• If your school's domain isn't on the list, you can ask for a review with "Request review". No separate rule for schools in Turkey is stated in the official documentation.
• To move projects from an account opened with a personal email to a new account, there is a Move workspace option.

1. 1On lovable.dev, go to Workspace settings› then Plans & credit usage and press Manage on the plan card.
2. 2Choose Downgrade to free and complete the steps. The plan lasts until the end of the period, then the workspace moves to the Free plan.
3. 3To cancel from a phone, open lovable.dev in the browser; the mobile app has no cancel button.
4. 4If you bought it in the iOS app, there is nothing to cancel: that purchase is valid for one month and doesn't renew, and the plan card says "Managed by App Store".

The list below shows each feature separately: whether it's ready in the app, whether you need to connect an account, and whether it's on the free plan. A free plan doesn't mean every feature is free.

In Lovable you can't start a project from an existing repository; Lovable creates a new repository from the project. If you already have a code project, look at coding tools like Claude Code to work with it.
