Cost calculator

Lovable vs Bubble, what it costs as your app grows.

Lovable meters AI credits. Bubble meters workload units. Neither bill looks like the other, and neither looks like the sticker price. Pick your stage and see each plan's published price next to what it actually includes.

The Lovable link is an affiliate link: we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and it never changes the verdict. Bubble is covered editorially with no affiliate relationship. Full disclosure.

Prefer flat, predictable pricing?

If metered credits and workload units make you nervous, these builders charge a flat monthly fee for a defined feature set (different use case: internal tools and front-ends over your data, not full AI app generation).

How these numbers are calculated

This shows each tool's published plan price at a stage, plus what that plan includes in its own native units. We deliberately do not convert credits into workload units or vice versa, because they are not comparable: the pricing pages themselves say so, and Bubble does not publish per-action workload-unit amounts.

  • Lovable: Free gives $5 in monthly credits plus $2 daily login credits; Pro is $25/mo with 100 credits/mo; Teams is $30/user/mo (lovable.dev/pricing, 2026-05-30).
  • Bubble: Free is development-only; Starter is $32/mo ($29 annual); Growth is $134/mo; Team is $399/mo. Usage is metered in workload units with overage at $0.30 per 1,000 WU, and Bubble does not tabulate per-tier WU amounts (bubble.io/pricing, 2026-05-30).

The "cheaper" badge compares published monthly plan price only, not value or included usage, which differ by model. Figures are vendor list pricing as of 2026-05-30; verify your tier before committing. Full sourced comparison: Lovable vs Bubble.
