LAST ZONEIs Lovable Free? What the Free Plan Really Gives You in 2026
Is Lovable free? Yes — but with limits. Exactly how many free credits you get per day and month, what they buy, and when it's worth upgrading.
The short answer
Yes, Lovable has a real Free plan. You get 5 build credits per day, up to 30 per month, plus 20 Cloud credits and 4 AI credits per month.
How the monthly cap works
Once you've received 30 daily credits in a month, Lovable stops granting them until the 1st of next month at 00:00 UTC. In practice the Free plan gives you about 6 days of credits per month if you use them all.
What 30 credits can build
| Prompt | Work done | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| “Make the button gray” | Updates button styles | 0.50 |
| “Remove the footer” | Removes the footer | 0.90 |
| “Add authentication with sign up and login” | Adds login pages, logic and routes | 1.20 |
| “Build me a landing page, use images” | Landing page, 3 images, 5 sections | 1.70 |
That's enough for a simple landing page and a few dozen edits — not a full app with login, payments and a database.
Free vs Pro
| Free | Pro | |
