Pricing
FreeGoogle Stitch is currently available as a free Google Labs experiment. No pricing has been announced for a paid tier. Access is via early access request at stitch.withgoogle.com. Usage limits during the preview period may apply, but no generation credit costs have been communicated. As a Google Labs product, future pricing will depend on Google's commercialization strategy. Historical Google Labs products have either been discontinued, integrated into Google Workspace (with pricing tied to Workspace subscriptions), or released as standalone paid products. Teams building critical workflows on Stitch should monitor Google Labs announcements for any changes to availability or pricing.
FreemiumLovable uses a credit-based Freemium model. The Free plan ($0, no credit card required) gives 5 daily build credits (~30/month), private projects, unlimited collaborators, and hosting on a lovable.app subdomain. The Pro plan ($25/month, ~$21/month annually) includes 100 monthly credits, custom domains, private projects, Code Mode (view and edit generated code), GitHub sync for version history and local editing, credit rollover month-to-month (up to plan limit), and the option to remove Lovable branding. The Business plan ($50/month, ~$42/month annually) includes 250 monthly credits, all Pro features, SSO (SAML), data training opt-out, and reusable design system templates. Enterprise pricing is custom and adds dedicated onboarding, priority support, custom API connections, custom credit limits, audit logs, and full enterprise data governance with a DPA and SLA. Credits can be purchased as top-ups at any time. Each credit corresponds to a fractional unit of AI work: simple style changes cost ~0.5 credits, adding authentication costs ~1.2, and a full landing page with images costs ~1.7. Monthly plan credits roll over; daily free credits reset each 24 hours.

Google Stitch

Google Stitch Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Backed by Google with Gemini AI and Material Design expertise — strongest pedigree in the text-to-UI category
  • Produces actual frontend code alongside the visual design — the only Google Labs tool that bridges design and development in one generation step
  • Conversational iteration via natural language — no need to manually edit individual properties; just describe what to change
  • Free during Google Labs preview period — full access without cost or credit limits during early access
  • Multi-screen generation maintains visual consistency — generating 5-10 connected screens in one session without style drift
  • Google's distribution advantage means Stitch could integrate with Google Workspace, Firebase, and Android Studio in future releases

Cons

  • Still in Google Labs preview — features, availability, and pricing are not finalized and the product may change significantly before general release
  • Waitlist access only during preview — not immediately available to all users without requesting early access
  • No long-term pricing commitment from Google — future paid tiers or feature restrictions are unknown, making it risky to build workflows around
  • Google's track record with experimental products creates uncertainty — Labs projects are sometimes discontinued (e.g., Google Stadia, Allo, Jamboard)
  • Code output quality requires developer review — generated React and HTML code is usable but not always production-grade without cleanup
  • Limited to UI generation — no full website publishing like Framer or complex prototype linking like Figma
Lovable

Lovable Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Fastest-growing software startup in history by many metrics — $7M to $400M ARR in 14 months with just 146 employees
  • The defining vibe coding platform — generates full-stack React/TypeScript apps with auth, databases, payments, and hosting from one prompt
  • Built-in infrastructure eliminates DevOps entirely — no server configuration, database setup, or deployment pipeline needed
  • Free plan is genuinely usable — 5 daily credits, private projects, and unlimited collaborators with no credit card required
  • Trusted by Adidas, Asana, ElevenLabs, Zendesk, Workday, and NVIDIA for internal tools and production software
  • 60 million projects built to date; named to TIME's 100 most influential companies 2026

Cons

  • Credit-based pricing can surprise heavy users — complex multi-file features burn 2–3 credits per prompt, making the true monthly cost higher than the plan sticker price
  • Frontend-first architecture: custom backend logic, complex APIs, and non-standard database setups often require external services like Supabase and may need manual code intervention
  • Less suitable for experienced developers who prefer full code control — Code Mode helps but the product is optimized for natural language, not fine-grained engineering
  • Generated code quality on highly complex or architecturally ambitious apps varies — best for MVPs and internal tools rather than deeply custom enterprise systems
  • Vendor dependency risk: apps run on Lovable infrastructure; exporting to GitHub is possible but migrating off the platform requires engineering effort
