The general user free tier includes 2,000 completions and 50 chats per month. Open-source maintainers and teachers can upgrade to Pro for free. The free student plan has reopened for new applications since 2026-06-17, after being suspended since 2026-04-20 for 58 days. As of 2026-07-27, the model selection for Free and Student plans has been limited to only Auto, and manual model specification is no longer available, while Pro and above plans are not affected.
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)
