Evidence status

v0

Free is $0. New accounts get a one-time $5 signup credit and a 7-message daily limit; existing Free accounts keep a recurring $5 monthly credit. Legacy Premium is $20/month and is closed to new signups. Plus is $30 per user per month with $30 monthly credits. Business is $100 per user per month with the same $30 monthly credit allowance, plus training-data opt-out and team controls. Enterprise is custom. Monthly credits expire after 65 days. Purchased credits expire after one year and lock if the paid plan lapses. Checked 2026-10-25 on v0.app/docs/pricing.

Open verification questions
  • The official page says model token rates can be viewed in the model selector or pricing page, but the extracted live documentation did not consistently expose a complete current rate table.
  • The FAQ does not promise copyrightability, uniqueness, non-infringement, or an IP indemnity for generated code.
  • The effect of deleting content already incorporated into a trained model is limited: the FAQ says existing models will not be updated after such a deletion request.

Official documentation describes v0 as an AI agent for producing full-stack apps and agents, with Git integration, a full editor, previews, backend connections, and Vercel deployment. v0 may use user prompts or generated content with third-party models and learning systems to improve products. Enterprise content and content from customers who opt out in Vercel settings are not used for training. Vercel platform-service customer data or code is not used to train, improve, or fine-tune v0 models. The FAQ says Vercel does not own code generated from user prompts, while warning that output may resemble other output or third-party IP and must be evaluated by the user. Pricing terminology on the retrieved current documentation uses 'Plus'; some indexed official snippets still use the former name 'Team'. Re-checked 2026-10-25: new Free accounts receive a one-time $5 signup credit rather than a recurring $5 monthly credit, and Premium at $20/month remains closed to new signups. Business at $100 per user per month includes the same $30 monthly credit allowance as Plus.

Lovable

Free is $0 with 5 daily build credits, capped at 30 per month. Pro is $25/month, or $21/month billed annually, per workspace, shared across unlimited users, with 100 monthly credits plus 5 daily build credits. Business is $50/month, or $42/month billed annually, per workspace, shared across unlimited users, with added SSO, roles, internal publishing, security, and workspace controls. Enterprise uses a company-size-based platform fee and volume-based credit pricing. Monthly plan credits expire two months after issue; daily grants do not roll over.

  • As of August 21, the effective Terms already grant training rights with a prospective opt-out, while the product documentation says Free and Pro customer-data training begins September 9, 2026. The sources do not fully explain operational use during the intervening period.
  • Lovable does not guarantee that AI Output is unique, free of third-party rights, accurate, or suitable for a particular purpose.
  • Enterprise pricing is not published as a fixed amount.

Official documentation describes Lovable as generating editable frontend, backend, database, authentication, and integration code from natural language, with GitHub synchronization and shared workspaces. Terms effective August 15, 2026 state that users own Customer Data, including applications, websites, and projects, and own AI Output generated for them, subject to third-party rights in underlying models, training data, or outputs. The Terms permit personal or internal-business use, including creating, deploying, operating, and making built applications available to end users. The Terms grant Lovable a broad license to use Customer Data, including for AI/ML development and training, but users can opt out prospectively for free regardless of plan. The official data-control documentation says Free and Pro customer-data training is scheduled to begin September 9, 2026 and users may opt out before or after that date. Business and Enterprise workspace data is excluded from training by default under organization agreements and DPAs. The April 14, 2026 Privacy Policy says raw or identifiable Personal Data is not used for training, while anonymized or aggregated data may be used. Re-verified 2026-10-25: Free remains 5 daily credits capped at 30 a month. Pro is $25/month or $21/month billed annually with 100 monthly credits plus 5 daily build credits. Business is $50/month or $42/month billed annually. Monthly credits still expire two months after issue.
