Best for

Founders, designers and non-coders who want to turn an idea into a working web app or prototype by chatting, without setting up code tools.

Not great for

Running a production app on a tight budget, because building and hosting now draw on the same credit balance and the live app's backend pauses when it runs out.

Recent change Aug 2026: raised $400M at a $13.3B valuation; merged build, Cloud and AI balances into one credit pool (a hosted app's backend pauses if credits hit zero). Launched iOS/Android mobile apps.

What it is

Lovable builds web apps from a conversation. You describe what you want, such as a booking page, an internal dashboard or a prototype of a startup idea, and it writes the app, sets up a database and hosts it, all in the browser. You can keep refining it by chatting, or edit the code directly on paid plans.

It is aimed at founders, designers and people who do not code. The free plan gives five build credits a day, capped at 30 a month; Pro starts at $25 a month. The thing to understand before you launch something real: since August 2026, building and hosting draw on the same credit balance, and a live app’s backend pauses if that balance reaches zero.
