LovableRenamed

You describe an app and Lovable builds the whole thing: frontend, database, authentication, storage and server functions. Every project uses the same stack, with no choice of framework or database. Apps created since 13 May 2026 use TanStack Start with server rendering; older ones use React and Vite. Data lives in PostgreSQL, either in Lovable Cloud, a managed backend built on Supabase’s open-source foundation, or in a Supabase project you connect yourself. Cloud adds a database with security policies you can review, sign-in (email, phone, Google, Apple, Microsoft, SAML), file buckets, edge functions, scheduled jobs and logs, hosted in the Americas, Europe or Asia Pacific; the region can’t change once chosen.

The project chat has three modes. Chat mode discusses changes without making them, Plan mode writes a plan you approve, and Build mode (formerly Agent mode) explores the codebase, edits across files, reads logs and network activity, and verifies its work. By default it may change your database schema and data without asking, but changes that could break the published app, such as dropping or renaming a column, are blocked unless you allow them. Lovable picks the model itself; you can’t choose one for building.

Usage is paid in credits. A message costs according to the work done: Lovable’s examples range from 0.50 credits for “Make the button gray” to 1.70 for a landing page with generated images, and Plan mode costs 1 credit per message. Every plan gets 5 free build credits a day (capped at 30 a month on Free) and monthly grants for hosting and AI features. Code can be edited and downloaded on paid plans, and two-way Git sync with GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket is available on every plan.
