Lovable pricing: how the credit system actually works
Lovable pricing sells you a monthly bundle of credits, and everything you do in the product draws from it. You pick a credit volume rather than a feature tier, so Pro at 100 credits and Pro at 800 credits are the same product at different capacities. The mechanics underneath are more layered than the price table suggests: three separate kinds of credit, three different expiry rules, and a deduction order that decides which one drains first.
Key takeaways
Monthly plans run $25 for 100 credits, $50 for 200, $100 for 400 and $200 for 800.
Three credit types coexist: daily and monthly grants, general plan credits, and purchased top-ups.
Unused plan credits roll over but still expire two months after they were issued. Grants never roll over.
Hitting zero blocks building outright and pauses your deployed app's backend services.
