Vibe vs Lovable questions,answered.

  • Is Vibe a good Lovable alternative?

    If you want to choose the AI model per project, get more monthly credits on the entry paid plan and keep the full source, yes. If you need custom domains and hosting built in today, Lovable covers that on its Pro plan.

  • Can I move a Lovable project to Vibe?

    There's no one-click import. Start from your original prompt or a description of the app, and attach key files or screenshots as context. Vibe rebuilds it as a multi-file project you can download.

  • How do the credits compare?

    Vibe Pro includes 200 monthly credits and Lovable Pro lists 100. Each platform measures a credit differently, so the fairest test is to build the same idea on both.

  • Is there a free plan?

    Yes. Vibe's Hobby plan is free, with 50 one-time credits, one project and Claude Haiku models, and you can export the result as a ZIP.

  • Can I use a custom domain with Vibe?

    Each project gets a stable, shareable HTTPS preview URL. To use your own domain, download the ZIP and deploy it with your hosting provider.
