How Lovable credits work
Lovable prices each message by the work it does. Its own examples: 0.50 credits to make a button gray, 0.90 to remove a footer, 1.20 to add sign-in, and 1.70 to build a landing page with images. (docs.lovable.dev/introduction/credits-and-usage, checked November 10, 2026)
Unused monthly credits roll over and expire 2 months after Lovable issues them. (docs.lovable.dev/introduction/credits-and-usage, checked November 10, 2026)
Pro can buy 50 more credits for $15, and Business for $30. Top-up credits last 12 months. (docs.lovable.dev/introduction/credit-top-ups, checked November 10, 2026)
What 100 credits buy
By Lovable's own examples, Pro's 100 monthly credits cover about 200 small style changes, about 83 sign-in features, or about 50 to 58 landing pages with images, since Lovable lists 1.70 credits for one on its pricing page and 2.00 in its docs. (checked November 10, 2026)
On iqobi
On iqobi, a Studio credit pays for one message you send in Studio, whatever the app's size. Free gives 25 a month and 10 apps. Go gives 100 a month for $18, or $9 during early access. Pro is $79 a month. A credit is not the same unit on each tool, so compare what each plan builds, not the number of credits.
