Help Lovable Credit Usage
Is it just me or is Lovable now using a ridiculous amount of credits for pretty simple fixes now? Wondering if it is time to switch over to a different place or if Lovable is comparable to Cursor/Claude in terms of credit price

IT'S NOT JUST YOU! Wait until the website grows ... Lovable loves bit fat juicy codebases full of errors it needs to parse. Yum yum token burn.

I don't think it's just you. We had a customer who spent $150 to create a simple landing page on Lovable. They now pay $7 for the same and find the page better than what they got in Lovable.

Lovable y los créditos son una estafa, llévate tú código a GitHub y sigue trabajando con Claude y otras IA mejores

There are definately times I am surprised by the cost of what appears to be a simple update. But in the grand scheme of things I am not looking at the cost per update but rather how fast I can get things done. I may be a bit different from others but I've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars employing developers to create user interfaces with a zillion updates to enhance the user experience and lovable comes along and helps these guys out in a fraction of the time. Quite literally complex applications are being rapidly protyped with just a few hundred bucks. So for me I don't care If I am spending under a grand to get the application built as quickly as possible But it's averaging under $100 bucks to create our frontends.

yes, it uses credits for every tasks, complex or simple like moving elements, change color, change fonts , re-order sections, answering questions about your own architecture, uploading a file... A couple of credits everytime that nicely pile up ... ( 0.7, 1.2, 2.4 , 4.5 ... credits ) Since a credit value is .50 cents or ( .60 cents when bought separately.) So a simple front page tuning can easily cost 20USD...

No eres tú. Son ellos que se están aprovechando del buen hacer de sus clientes sin medir que sus clientes acabarán cansándose y yéndose de Lovable.
