LovableNo mobile binarySuperb at web apps. Does not produce a mobile binary.On free tier, Vibecode does not publish it and Lovable is $0 / month. On cheapest paid plan, Vibecode is $20 /month (Plus) and Lovable is $25 / month (Pro). On cheapest plan that reaches ios, Vibecode is $20 /month (Plus) and Lovable does not publish it. On what the plan is metered in, Vibecode is Credits at wholesale model cost and Lovable is 100 monthly credits. StoreReady sells neither of these and takes no referral fee on either — it scores them. Every figure was read off the named company's own page on or since 2026-09-18; the URLs and the dates are at the foot of this page, and a job re-fetches each one on a schedule and fails when a figure is no longer on the page it came from.
The rows in brighter ink are the ones the two companies answer differently.
You want App Store submission and the source code on the cheapest plan you can buy, and you would rather pay for model tokens at cost than pay a margin on them. Vibecode's $20 Plus tier already lists "App store submission" and "Download source code", and its whole pricing argument is "$1 in credits on Vibecode = $1 in AI usage on Anthropic, OpenAI, etc. We charge exactly what we pay."
Free tier. Not published
The plan grid starts at Plus, $20 /month. No free tier appears on the page.
Cheapest paid plan. $20 /month (Plus)
Pro is $50 /month and Max is $200 /month. Annual billing is two months free.
Cheapest plan that reaches iOS. $20 /month (Plus)
Every published tier lists "App store submission" and "Download source code" — so unlike most of this table, the cheapest paid plan is also the shipping plan.
What the plan is metered in. Credits at wholesale model cost
"$1 in credits on Vibecode = $1 in AI usage on Anthropic, OpenAI, etc. We charge exactly what we pay." Credits roll over and never expire. Pro buys $55 of credits for $50; Max buys $220 for $200.
The thing you are building belongs on the web and you would rather stop pretending otherwise. Lovable's free tier publishes to a real URL with unlimited collaborators and no card, and Pro at $25 / month adds custom domains, roles and per-member credit limits — which is a better answer for a web product than paying a mobile builder to wrap one.
Free tier. $0 / month
"No credit card needed", workspace-private projects, unlimited collaborators, 5 lovable.app domains.
Cheapest paid plan. $25 / month (Pro)
Business is $50 / month for the same 100 credits and adds governance rather than capacity.
Cheapest plan that reaches iOS. Not published
Lovable's pricing page names no iOS tier and no App Store deployment. Every plan is described in lovable.app domains, custom domains and publishing — which is consistent with StoreReady's own verdict on it: a web product, not a route to the store.
What the plan is metered in. 100 monthly credits
"Credit rollovers" and "On-demand credit top-ups" on Pro; the Free tier gets "Free grants" rather than a stated credit count.
