Does Lovable charge per user, and what do extra credits cost?
Lovable does not charge per seat: every plan allows unlimited workspace members, who share the workspace's credits. Pro and Business workspaces that run low can buy top-ups: $15 per 50 credits on Pro ($0.30 a credit) and $30 per 50 credits on Business ($0.60 a credit). Top-up credits last 12 months, and the Free plan cannot buy them.
Do custom domains cost extra on Lovable?
Custom domains are available on paid plans, so you need at least Pro ($25 a month, or $21 billed annually). You can connect a domain you already own or buy one through Lovable; a bought domain is billed separately from the subscription, its renewal price is shown during checkout, and it comes with a free SSL certificate. After a downgrade to Free, connected domains keep working, but new ones can't be connected.
Does hosting a Lovable app cost extra?
Publishing an app to a lovable.app address is free on every plan, including Free, and a live site does not use credits by itself; backend activity and AI features in the app do. Lovable's plans do not cap visitors or bandwidth, though newer Free-plan apps are limited to 1,000 server requests per project every 10 seconds.
How many credits does Lovable's free plan give?
Lovable's Free plan gives 5 build credits a day, capped at 30 a month; once the cap is reached, daily credits stop until the first of the next month, and unused daily credits expire at the end of each day. No credit card is needed. Paid plans add a monthly allowance, from 100 credits on Pro.
