Lovable
AI app builder that turns prompts into full-stack web apps
Lovable is a no-code & low-code tool for Developers and Small businesses, offered as freemium ($25/mo). Founded in Sweden in 2023.
About Lovable
Lovable is an AI app builder from Stockholm, Sweden, founded in 2023 by Anton Osika and Fabian Hedin. It grew out of GPT Engineer, an open-source code generation project that became one of the most-starred AI repositories on GitHub, and was renamed Lovable in late 2024. In December 2025 it raised a $330 million Series B at a $6.6 billion valuation. Its core job is turning a plain-language description into a working web app that users keep editing by chat.
Lovable generates React and TypeScript front ends, connects back ends through Lovable Cloud or Supabase for databases, authentication and storage, adds payments with Stripe, and deploys apps with one click to a lovable.app subdomain or a custom domain. Users can edit visually, sync code to GitHub and switch to their own IDE. Plans are priced by monthly credits rather than seats, and workspaces allow unlimited members. The free tier gives 5 build credits a day; Pro starts at 100 credits with custom domains and code editing; Business adds SSO and design templates.
Lovable fits founders, product managers and designers building prototypes, MVPs and internal tools fast. Bubble and FlutterFlow give more visual control and mature hosting for complex apps; Softr is simpler for apps on top of Airtable or Google Sheets. Credit use grows fast on large or messy projects, and generated code still needs review for security and maintainability.
Buying tip: monthly credits expire two months after issue and annual credits one month after the term ends, so buy the smallest tier that covers real usage and top up when needed.
