Web apps from a prompt, with code developers can extend
Lovable combines conversational app creation with a project editor, preview and version history. A plain-language request can become a website, internal dashboard, customer portal or web application. Teams build inside shared workspaces, with editable source code behind the result. Developers can continue work in their own IDE through a connected GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repository.
The built-in Cloud backend adds a database, authentication, file storage, realtime updates and server functions. This makes Lovable suitable for apps that need user accounts and persistent data as well as a designed interface. Managed hosting publishes the app, while paid plans support custom domains. Business adds controls such as SSO and publishing restricted to signed-in workspace members.
Code ownership offers a path beyond the hosted platform, but moving a complete app takes more than exporting its files. Current TanStack Start projects need a host that runs server code; older React/Vite apps can use static hosting. Database records and storage files move separately, and external AI or connector calls may need replacement. A complete migration includes configuring these data and provider services on the new infrastructure.
Best for
- Founders creating web apps and customer portals
- Teams building internal tools and dashboards
- Developers extending generated code through Git repositories
Limitations
Building and running apps consume shared credits. At an empty balance, AI features fail and built-in backend services can pause even while published pages remain available. Request costs vary. Code export does not transfer live data, secrets or provider connections automatically. European web prices include VAT; rates can differ by region and purchase channel.

What can Lovable build?
Lovable creates websites and web applications such as dashboards, internal tools and customer portals. Its built-in backend adds user accounts, data storage and server functions.
Can I keep Lovable code in my own repository?
Yes. GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket support two-way sync on all plans. A standalone ZIP source download requires a paid plan.
Is Lovable priced per user?
Pro and Business list unlimited users and a shared workspace allowance. The base plans include 100 monthly credits, rather than giving each member a separate 100-credit plan.
Can a Lovable app be hosted elsewhere?
Yes. The hosting setup depends on its framework. A complete move also requires separate handling of database records, uploaded files, secrets, authentication and connected provider services.
