Lovable builds you a first draft in a chat window, with one credit balance under everything: the building, the backend, and the AI its deployed apps run on. noboringsites replaces the whole workflow: a site built once, staged, checked, and shipped, then handed over as something you own, on a meter that gates new AI work and nothing else.
Lovable facts on this page were checked on 29 August 2026 against Lovable’s published pricing page and documentation. Numbers move. We re-check.
Changes go through a build pipeline, not a chat window guessing at your codebase.
Every AI turn takes credits for what it cost us to run, so a small ask costs less than a big one. Publishing, editing by hand and putting a change back are free, and running out never touches the site you shipped.
Domain, content, and code sit under your name, handed over as a finished site rather than a project you keep renting the tools for.
Every site ships the security header set, and every change carries version history with one-click revert. Neither is an upsell.
| Compare | Lovable | noboringsites |
|---|---|---|
| How changes are priced | One credit balance pays for everything: building the app, hosting it and its backend, and the AI calls the deployed app makes. Plan-mode messages cost one credit each, and build work is charged by the work completed, even on a request you stop | A credit is what one turn with the AI costs us to run, so a small ask costs less than a big one and you see the price after the work lands. Publishing, editing by hand, and reverting are free and never metered |
| How long credits last | Monthly plan credits roll over while you stay subscribed but expire two months after they were issued, or one month after the period on annual plans. Top-up credits last twelve months from your most recent purchase | Included credits reset each calendar month and do not roll over. Credits you buy never expire, and if you cancel they stay on your account, usable when you come back |
| Running out | Building stops behind a blocking dialog. Their published pages stay up, but an app that relies on their backend pauses shortly after, and their docs say its data cannot be accessed or exported until the services run again | Running out of credits never pauses your live site. New AI turns wait for a reset, a top-up or an upgrade, and that is the whole list: the site keeps serving, publishing keeps working, and you keep editing by hand |
| A turn that outruns your balance | The message pauses at zero mid-run, and you add credits to resume or have it wrap up. Wrapping up itself uses credits | A turn already running finishes, and if it costs more than you have left we absorb the difference. Your balance stops at zero and no debt is carried anywhere |
| Paying for a wrong guess | Their terms say credits are consumed by each AI action “based on the effort and resources used, regardless of the outcome”, and are non-refundable even where the output is erroneous or must be regenerated | A failed generation is not charged, within the fair use limit set out in the terms, and a change you regret is one free click to put back |
| Topping up | Auto top-up is available, and buys more credits on its own whenever the balance falls below a threshold, within a monthly spend limit you set | Every top-up is a click you make. There is no auto-refill in any form; a top-up happens when you click it and at no other time |
| Downloading your code | Git sync and code download sit on their plan ladder; their pricing page says which rung | Code, content, and domain are yours from the start, no download gate: full source on a build or a template, the finished pages and their assets on a builder site |
| Custom domain | Connected from their dashboard; their pricing page says which rung it needs | Registered in your name; we change records and never take custody |
| Security record | CVE-2025-48757, published May 2025: misconfigured row-level security left 170 of 1,645 scanned Lovable-built apps exposing data. Lovable now lints for it free on every plan, but apps generated before the change stayed exposed unless the owner fixed them | Database and form handling are configured as part of the build, never left for the owner to set up |
| If you stop paying | The workspace drops to Free at the end of the billing period; unused paid credits deactivate unless you re-subscribe before they expire | 14-day grace window, and the free offboarding pack (code, content, database export) is yours from the day you cancel |
To be fair: Lovable’s terms say you own the code it generates, and that’s real. Ownership of the code was never the catch. Lovable’s entry paid plan is cheaper than ours, and it builds arbitrary full-stack applications. Check their pricing page for the figure on the day you read this; theirs moves and we are not going to quote a number at you that might already be wrong. If what you want is to prototype an app and keep iterating in a chat window, Lovable is the right tool and we will say so. The catch, if what you actually want is a live business site, is that you are handed a running prototype rather than a finished site, and a metered, expiring balance is what it costs to keep editing it.
Nobody migrates a prompt history. We look at what you have, rebuild the pages that matter, and hand you a preview link before anything touches production. Carrying an existing site across is a US$400 add-on, priced into your quote before you pay rather than invoiced afterwards.
Pro, Ultra and Max are US$39, US$99 and US$199 a month. A credit is what one turn with the AI costs us to run, so a small ask costs less than a big one and you see the price after the work lands. Every plan includes credits each month, and they reset rather than roll over. Publishing is free and unlimited, and so is editing by hand. Asking the builder to swap a line of text is an AI turn, so it draws credits. A failed generation is not charged, within the fair use limit set out in the terms. Need more before the reset? You click to buy a one-off pack of 300 credits for US$10. Nothing tops up automatically, and credits you buy never expire. The pricing page has what each plan includes.
No. A custom build from noboringsites is a one-off payment from US$1,500, and nothing about it renews. The Agentic AI Site Builder plans exist because most owners would rather someone else ran the hosting and made the changes, not because the site stops working without one. Buy the build, take the source, and host it anywhere Node runs. The site does not live inside the subscription that made it.
The monthly allowance does not decay. It restarts on your billing date each month and does not roll over, so nothing is draining while you leave the site alone. A top-up pack is the opposite and has no clock on it at all: credits you buy never expire, and they survive cancelling. Lovable’s own documentation, read in August 2026, says its unused monthly credits roll over while the subscription is active but expire two months after they are issued, annual plan credits one month after the annual period ends, and top-up credits last twelve months. Ours outlast all three, because ours never run out of time.
Lovable’s terms say you own the code you build there, and that is true: ownership was never the catch. At noboringsites, full payment of a build gets you the copyright in it, assigned to you at handover, so you run, host and change your delivered site anywhere. The export is a zip. For a build or a template you bought it is the full source as a Next.js codebase, with your images and their license records. For a site you made with the AI builder it is the finished pages and their assets, plus any data your site stores with us. Three things it cannot carry. Licensed fonts and stock photos come with a license reference, not a license from us. Keys held in our accounts stay ours, and you put your own in their place. Our hosting and monitoring setup stays ours, and standing the site up somewhere else is a developer’s job.
Cancelling a noboringsites plan leaves your site live to the end of the period you paid for, then opens a 14-day grace window where nothing changes at all, and after it the hosted site goes dark, because hosting is the thing you cancelled. Your export stays available until 30 days after that, which is 44 days from the end of your last paid period. It is free, there is no exit fee, and we never ask why. Lovable’s pricing FAQ says a cancelled plan keeps its remaining credits to the end of the billing period and then switches to Free.
You change it yourself, by typing what you want in plain English in your noboringsites portal. Every change is drafted, checked, staged and versioned before it goes live, and one click puts it back. Reverting is free and never metered, so a change you regret costs nothing to undo. Publishing is free and unlimited on every plan, and so is editing by hand. What your credits pay for is the AI turn that drafts the change, priced at what it costs us to run.
Any site can look like it came out of a machine. How much that shows depends on which lane you buy, and you should know which one you are in. A custom build from US$1,500 is designed around your business and written for it, and you approve every draft on a hosted preview before anything is public. The Agentic AI Site Builder plans work differently: every subscriber starts from the same starter layout, which is then rewritten from your brief. That is faster and much cheaper. It is not a design that started from you.
A custom build includes the technical SEO work: page titles and descriptions, a sitemap, structured data, and your Google Business profile set up and connected. No one can sell you a ranking, and noboringsites will not pretend otherwise. What we will say is that the parts a search engine needs in order to read your site are done before it ships, instead of being bolted on later when the traffic has not arrived.
Moving an existing site across is a build add-on, US$400, on top of the US$1,500 base. It is priced into your quote before you pay, never invoiced afterwards. Nobody migrates a prompt history: what the add-on buys is a rebuild of the pages that matter, staged on a preview link, with your current site still live and answering until you approve the new one.
noboringsites is an Australian company, ABN 45 675 551 783, registered for GST and founder-led. The registered entity and address are on the terms page. A custom build is paid in full at checkout, by card through Stripe, so your card number never reaches our servers. Two written rounds of changes are already in that price. Cancel before we start and you get back what you paid less what had already been spent; cancel after we start and we keep a fair amount for the work done to that point, and we tell you the figure and how we got to it.
