Cursor vs Lovable

AMO PIMI They also argued about these things on another page.

Cursor and Lovable are both Coding tools. Pricing, free tiers and language support compared below.

Anysphere

Has a free plan

Hobby: 2000 times of completion + 50 times of slow progress requests (confirmed on the official website on 2026-07-26, but the official website no longer lists these numbers in detail, only mentioning limited quota, and the specific numbers are now only seen in third-party community sources, keeping the record but adjusting the confidence level to medium)

Cheapest paid plan: US$20 / mo

Chinese support: Not supported

Lovable

Has a free plan

5 build credits are issued per day, capped at 30 per month, plus 20 Cloud credits per month and 4 credits per month usable for in-app AI features (both the pricing-page FAQ and the official docs at docs.lovable.dev state this, giving two cross-checked sources). The point most easily misread: credits are not a number of chats. In Default mode credits are deducted by task complexity, and the official examples are 0.50 credits to make a button grey, 0.90 to remove the footer, 1.20 to add login authentication and 1.70 to build a landing page with images; Plan mode is a flat 1 credit per message. So how many instructions 5 daily credits buys varies. Credits expire: the free plan's daily allowance disappears if it is not used that day and does not accumulate, and the 30-per-month cap is hard. The free plan includes Git sync, an unlimited number of workspace members, projects private to the workspace, and community support. Code and AI output are owned by the user (official FAQ: You do. You own your code), and the site sets no commercial restriction on the free plan. (Verified 2026-08-09)
