What the tools cost

Prices as of October 2026. Check each tool's own pricing page before you sign up; they change.

While you build: about $45 a month

• Lovable Pro: $25 a month for 100 credits. Bigger builds may need the 200-credit plan at $50. The free tier is enough for the Weekend Cohort.
• Claude Pro: $20 a month, or $17 a month billed yearly. The free plan works for light use.
• Supabase: free while you build.
• Resend (sending email from your app): free for up to 3,000 emails a month.

Once real users arrive: about $70 a month

• Add Supabase Pro at $25 a month. Free projects pause after a week without activity, which you cannot afford once customers depend on the app. Pro also adds daily backups.

Also budget for

• A domain: about $12 a year.
• Stripe: no monthly fee. Stripe takes a small fee on each payment.

Ways to keep costs down

• Plan in Claude before you prompt Lovable. A clear brief uses far fewer credits than trial and error.
• Build one feature at a time and test it before moving on.
• Cancel Lovable Pro between projects if you are not building; your code stays in your connected GitHub repository.
