Lovable is really a great tool for creating and deploying applications with relatively little effort.

00:08.400 --> 00:12.360
It is super beginner friendly and this is why so many people love it.

00:12.840 --> 00:19.400
Even with a basic prompt, it is possible to create a very nice user interface and easily add backend

00:19.400 --> 00:21.680
functionalities with Supabase.

00:23.280 --> 00:27.880
As you have noticed at the time of this recording, sometimes the AI model is not really smart enough

00:27.880 --> 00:33.120
to be able to fix some issues on its own, but with a bit of targeted prompting and a good understanding

00:33.120 --> 00:36.480
of the error, it's possible to get over such hiccups.

00:37.120 --> 00:42.280
I hope you will not encounter such issues and that a lovable team will address this very soon.

00:43.080 --> 00:48.640
Obviously, compared to a standalone IDE that is running locally, such as cursor, loveable is less

00:48.640 --> 00:53.240
capable, but it is more user friendly and this is actually the target audience.

00:53.880 --> 00:57.240
However, my main pain point is pricing.

00:57.840 --> 01:00.000
The free plan is very limited.

01:00.000 --> 01:07.920
It only offers five daily credits and this is okay I guess, but this is not really useful if you want

01:07.960 --> 01:11.960
to fine tune things to your liking or encounter a lot of issues.

01:12.650 --> 01:21.490
And even if you're looking at the paid plans, the Pro plan at $25 per month offers 100 credits.

01:21.490 --> 01:29.450
So if you want more credits, we'll have, of course, to pay double that price, but 100 messages per

01:29.450 --> 01:29.970
month?

01:30.490 --> 01:32.250
This is not really a lot.

01:32.530 --> 01:38.730
Now, I appreciate the lovable has created a pricing plan that is easy to understand.

01:38.770 --> 01:44.610
So you easily understand you're sending a message and that is one credit less so that's super clear.

01:44.850 --> 01:51.890
But if you want to build a more comprehensive app that's going to take more than 100 messages, I can

01:51.890 --> 01:53.050
easily tell you that.

01:53.290 --> 02:00.610
And what is interesting here is that if we compare this to cursor, for example, the difference becomes

02:00.650 --> 02:01.130
obvious.

02:01.130 --> 02:04.050
So cursor here has a monthly plan.

02:04.050 --> 02:06.650
We're paying $20 per month.

02:07.170 --> 02:09.970
We have 500 requests.

02:09.970 --> 02:13.170
So 500 compared to 100.

02:13.530 --> 02:17.890
And apart from this we also have unlimited slow requests.

02:18.290 --> 02:21.330
So what slow requests are are still requests.

02:21.330 --> 02:24.110
It just takes a bit longer to get a response.

02:24.110 --> 02:30.710
So pretty much you have unlimited messages with just $20 per month, and if you go for the yearly plan,

02:30.710 --> 02:31.630
that's even less.

02:31.630 --> 02:33.830
So it's only $16 per month.

02:34.390 --> 02:40.110
So from a loan that perspective, lovable isn't cheap, right?

02:40.110 --> 02:42.190
So it has its target audience.

02:42.710 --> 02:49.270
I think it is a great starting point for a web project, for people who are scared of looking into a

02:49.270 --> 02:55.350
tool, such as cursor or windsurf, or other tools that need to be installed locally and to deal with

02:55.470 --> 02:56.510
developer tools.

02:57.270 --> 03:02.630
But due to the integration with GitLab, it is relatively easy to have access to your source code.

03:02.990 --> 03:08.310
And you can take this project and you can kick start this project unlovable.

03:09.070 --> 03:15.390
And then you can take the source code and take ownership over it, essentially, and also make changes

03:15.390 --> 03:17.270
outside of low level if you need to.

03:17.910 --> 03:19.030
So this has been lovable.

03:19.030 --> 03:25.590
I hope you managed to build a useful project and that you understood better what this tool can do and

03:25.590 --> 03:27.550
what this tool can do well.

03:27.550 --> 03:30.190
Anyway, if you have more questions about lovable, I would love to hear them.

03:30.190 --> 03:33.470
So drop your questions in the Q&amp;A below this lecture.
