What it does and who it's for
Lovable is a prompt-to-app builder: you describe a web app in natural language and it generates a working React/Supabase-backed codebase in its own browser editor, with one-click deploy to a lovable.app subdomain or a custom domain. It grew out of Anton Osika and Fabian Hedin's open-source GPT-Engineer project (Stockholm, founded 2023) and relaunched as the closed-source, hosted Lovable product in December 2024. It's aimed at non-engineers and fast-moving product teams building prototypes, internal tools, and MVPs rather than at engineering teams who want to own and harden a production codebase from day one.
Growth and independent reception
Lovable raised $400M in a Series C in August 2026 at a $13.3B valuation, led by Menlo Ventures and EQT's Scaleup Europe Fund, following a $330M round in December 2025 at $6.6B. The company reported $500M in annualized run-rate revenue in June 2026 and says it hosts 60 million projects. On G2, Lovable holds a 4.6/5 average across 273 reviews, with particularly high marks for ease of use (9.3) and support quality (8.9). On Trustpilot it sits around 4/5 across roughly 1,300 reviews; recurring praise is for how quickly a working app appears from a single prompt, and recurring complaints are about credit costs climbing sharply once an app gets past simple CRUD complexity, and slow support response on billing questions.
How pricing works
Free: $0/month, no card required, 5 build credits/day (up to 30/month) plus 20 monthly Cloud credits, workspace-private projects, unlimited collaborators, 5 lovable.app domains. Pro: $25/month (yearly billing gives 2 months free), 100 monthly credits, credit rollover, on-demand credit top-ups, custom domains, unlimited lovable.app domains, badge removal. Business: $50/month, 100 monthly credits, team workspace, role-based access, SSO, a 'security center'. Enterprise: custom platform fee plus volume-based pricing, with SCIM, audit logs, and scheduled deep security scans. Notably, workspace seats are unlimited on every paid tier — Lovable meters usage by AI credits, not by per-seat licensing, so cost scales with how much you build rather than headcount.
Security track record
Two distinct, independently reported incidents matter here. First: in February 2026, a researcher found that a Lovable-generated app with 100,000+ views exposed 18,697 user records — including full PII for 870 users — because the app's Supabase backend lacked proper Row Level Security. Lovable's response was that a free security scan runs before publishing but applying its recommendations is left to the app builder; the vulnerable database wasn't Lovable-hosted. Separately, Lovable's own platform had a Broken Object Level Authorization flaw that let any free account view the source code, chat history, and (in some cases) hardcoded database credentials of other users' public projects, for projects created before November 2025. It was first reported via HackerOne on 2026-02-22, mis-triaged and closed without escalation, then publicly disclosed on 2026-04-20 — Lovable shipped a fix within two hours of public disclosure but initially called the exposure 'intentional behavior' before acknowledging the dismissive response was a mistake. Lovable has since converted historical public projects to private by default and rebuilt its HackerOne triage process. Lovable is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified (as of August 2025) — that certification predates both incidents, so treat it as evidence of a security program, not a guarantee against this class of bug.
Company and funding
Founded November 2023 in Stockholm by Anton Osika (CEO) and Fabian Hedin (CTO). The predecessor open-source project, GPT-Engineer (AntonOsika/gpt-engineer on GitHub), reached over 55,000 stars but is now archived (last push 2025-05-14) — it is not the product being sold today and its permissive licence does not extend to the hosted Lovable platform, which is closed-source.

Frequently asked questions
What can I create with Lovable?
You can build apps and websites such as landing pages, prototypes, and ecommerce sites. Lovable also shows templates for portfolios, blogs, events, and other web projects, so it covers both quick launches and more structured builds.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Lovable offers a free plan, and the pricing page says it is free forever with no credit card needed. The plan includes 5 daily credits, public projects, unlimited collaborators, 5 lovable.app domains, and Cloud.
How does one-click deployment work?
Once your project is ready, you can deploy it to the web with a single click. Lovable positions this as the final step after prototyping and feedback iterations, so you can move from draft to live site without a separate release process.
What templates does Lovable offer?
Lovable provides templates for websites, portfolios, blogs, events, and ecommerce stores. The template library is meant to help you start from a production-ready layout instead of building every page from scratch.
What integrations are available?
Lovable documents integrations with Supabase, Stripe, OpenAI, GitHub, Google Search Console, and Semrush. The event template also mentions calendar tools, and the SEO page shows Semrush data working directly inside the builder chat.
Does Lovable support SEO features?
Yes. Lovable includes SEO Tools, server-side rendering, pre-rendering for existing apps, AI search visibility, and SEO & AI search review. The SEO page also says apps are built to be found in Google and AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.
Can I use Lovable with my own backend?
Yes. Lovable supports backend integration, and the event template specifically mentions Supabase for attendee data and Stripe for paid tickets. That makes it suitable for projects that need data, auth, or payments connected to the app.
What does the Business plan include?
The Business plan is $50 per month and adds internal publish, SSO, team workspace, personal projects, design templates, role-based access, and a security center. It is aimed at growing departments that need more control over how projects are shared and managed.
Is there an API?
Yes. Lovable provides a stable REST API for integrations, which gives teams a way to connect the platform to other systems and workflows.
Editor's read
Check the credit ceilings before committing: Free includes 5 daily credits up to 30/month, while Pro and Business each include 100 monthly credits plus 5 daily credits up to 150/month. If your build cadence depends on frequent iterations or top-ups, verify which plan's credit model matches it.
