Lovable
Builds full web apps from plain-language prompts, with credits and a free daily grant.
Group: Coding agents
Lovable describes a full-stack AI development platform for building, iterating on and deploying web applications from natural language, including frontend, backend, database and authentication. Work happens in shared workspaces that pool credits.
The decision in plain English
Lovable's docs say you own the code and projects you build, and that the free plan includes 5 build credits a day (up to 30 a month). Paid plan prices were not on the pages we captured, so no monthly price is listed here.
Best fit
People who want a working web app from a description and are fine reviewing and owning the generated code.
Poor fit
Anyone who needs a fixed monthly price or deep control over infrastructure; credits are consumed by messages and hosting.
Documented capabilities
Vendor statements, not verified task outcomes.
Permissions and human control
- Lovable's docs say you own your code and customer data stored in Lovable. We did not review permission controls for connected services in this pass.
Documented controls do not prove that an agent always follows them.
Limits and open questions
- Credits are consumed by building, hosting and AI features; unused monthly credits expire after two months (vendor FAQ)
- Paid plan prices not captured in our check
- Business credits cost more than Pro credits (vendor FAQ)
- Described by the vendor; not tested by AgentComparison
