Lovable: who it fits and who it does not
- Good for
- Founders turning an idea into a working web app fast
- Small teams that share one credit pool instead of paying per seat
- Not for
- Anyone who needs a predictable bill: cost per task depends on its complexity
- Buyers who want credits back: credits are not refundable
- The catch
- No per-seat fees and you own the code, but credits are used per task and expire, so cost is hard to predict.
