## Lovable (Coding subscriptions)

- `coding-subs/lovable` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category hosted AI app builder
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-04T10:28:03.774Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-05
- url https://docs.lovable.dev/introduction/subscription-plans
- free tier: Free: 5 build credits a day, capped at 30 a month, so the cap is spent in the first 6 days of each calendar month; Pro starts at USD 25 a month for 100 credits, plus 5 daily build credits with no monthly cap | unit: credits | metered on: request-count | read on: 2026-11-02 | source: [1] | note: a credit is not a fixed unit of work: each message is charged on the work done, so the 30 free credits buy a variable number of messages
- per-object cap: not applicable: the plan meters credits, not stored bytes
- retention: not applicable: no stored bytes are metered
- egress: not published on the pages read: no egress term was found, so nothing is asserted | metered: no
- identity: email | detail: sign-up offers email, Google, GitHub or Apple and opens a Free personal workspace; the sign-up page shows an account form with an Email option and no card or phone field. Paid plans are billed through Stripe; what checkout asks for is unverified: behind a sign-up
- interface: rest, git
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): Free: 5 build credits a day, 30 a month; the monthly cap is reached on the sixth day and daily credits resume on the 1st at 00:00 UTC [1]
  - write-gated: the Lovable REST API and workspace API keys need a Business or Enterprise plan; Free and Pro workspaces see an upgrade prompt [2]
- limits note: the 30-credit Free cap binds first; the API gate is a plan gate, and the API itself spends no build credits
- binding note: 30 build credits a month on Free, spent in the first 6 days of the month
- interface detail: a web app where a prompt builds a project. Git sync with GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket is on every plan. The Lovable REST API at api.lovable.dev/v1 (Lovable-API-Key header, keys start lov_) manages and deploys existing projects, needs a Business or higher plan, and spends no build credits. AI project creation and editing run through the Lovable MCP server, which is open to every plan and spends the same credits as the web app
- tooling: hosted service with a web editor; no local client is documented. An MCP client such as Claude or Cursor can drive project creation and messages through the MCP server on any plan
- composes with: Pro, USD 25 a month for 100 credits (USD 250 a year), adds code editing and download, custom domains and credit rollover; the Lovable API needs Business, whose 100-credit tier is USD 50 a month. Plan mode costs 1 credit a message; Build mode messages are priced by the work done, from 0.50 credits for a one-line style change to 1.70 for a landing page with 3 generated images. Chat messages usually cost a fraction of a credit and draw first on a separate daily chat allowance of unpublished size
- reliability: the chat allowance and the monthly Cloud and AI grants are stated as temporary offers subject to change; the chat pricing is stated to apply through 2026-10-31, a date that had passed on the day read, and whether it was extended is unverified
- notes: A hosted AI app builder rather than a coding-agent subscription: the unit is a credit, charged per message. The same vendor's Free plan, Cloud grant and sign-up are also recorded under compute/lovable. Monthly Cloud (20 credits), AI (4 credits) and connector (1 credit) grants come on top of build credits on every plan.
- evidence note: plan table, credit rules, API and MCP terms are quoted from first-party pages read on 2026-11-02; the size of the daily chat allowance is not published, and the checkout requirements of Pro were not seen

## Lovable (Compute)

- `compute/lovable` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence documented | binding request-rate | category cloud VM
- needs card unknown, phone unknown, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-04T10:27:57.620Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-05
- url https://docs.lovable.dev/introduction/subscription-plans
- free tier: Lovable Free: "Daily build credits 5/day, 30/month", "Monthly Cloud grant 20 credits", "Monthly AI grant 4 credits", quoted; the footnote says "on Free, you receive daily build credits for the first 6 days each month (6 x 5 = 30), then none until the next month starts" | unit: credits | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: recurring-allowance
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: not stated | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: email | detail: the sign-up page shows 'Create your account' with an Email field; no card or phone field is shown on that page, and any later step is unverified
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - request-rate (binding): the 30-credit monthly cap exhausts on the sixth day of the month, so two thirds of every month has zero build capacity on the free plan. [1]
- limits note: the 30-credit monthly cap exhausts on the sixth day of the month, so two thirds of every month has zero build capacity on the free plan.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: not stated
- composes with: the 20-credit monthly Cloud grant hosts a small app and its backend after the 30 monthly build credits are gone; on Free, code cannot be edited or downloaded inside Lovable, but Git sync with GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket is included, so the code moves through a repository
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The credit is not a token. The pricing page's own examples price a one-line style change at 0.50 and a landing page with three generated images at 1.70, so the unit varies by task. A daily chat allowance also exists with no published number.
- extras:
  - facets.class: perpetual-allowance
  - facets.free_tier_kind: recurring-allowance
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-22: the Free column gives 5 daily build credits capped at 30 a month, a 20-credit monthly Cloud grant and a 4-credit monthly AI grant, quoted
  - [2] 2026-10-22: one credit balance covers build, chat, Cloud hosting with database, network, storage and compute, and AI gateway calls in deployed apps, quoted
  - [3] 2026-10-22: the pricing page prices single messages at 0.50 to 1.70 credits by example, so the 30 monthly free credits buy roughly 18 to 60 build messages
