What is Lovable?
The short answer
Lovable is a separate tool that builds real websites and apps from plain-English prompts. It has a free option to get started and paid plans, starting around USD $25 a month, for people who need more. It's a building tool, not part of The AI Studio's membership.
What Lovable does
Lovable is a website and app building tool. You describe what you want, it generates the actual product, and you keep refining it by describing changes. It's one of the tools people use for what's commonly called vibe coding.
How it's different from The AI Studio
The AI Studio helps you work out what to build, who it's for, how to price it, and what steps to take. Lovable is where the actual building happens once you know what you want. They're separate services with separate accounts and separate pricing.
Think of The AI Studio as the guidance and the plan, and Lovable as one of the tools you might use to build.
What it costs
Lovable has a free tier with limits on how much you can build and use each month, which is a sensible place to start. Paid plans begin at around USD $25 a month for people who need more building capacity. Pricing changes over time, so it's worth checking lovable.dev directly for current numbers before committing.
