Can I Sell a Lovable App?
Yes. Lovable grants you full ownership of the code it generates. You can sell your app, charge subscriptions, and keep 100% of the revenue. Lovable even has built-in Stripe integration to help you start charging.
Why this matters
Lovable reached $100M ARR in 8 months by helping builders ship real products. Builders on the platform have launched SaaS products, client tools, and marketplace apps — many generating recurring revenue through Stripe subscriptions set up directly in Lovable.
What's at stake
Stop waiting for permission to charge. Every day your app is free when it could be paid is revenue you are leaving behind. Lovable was designed for builders who ship — not builders who stay stuck.

Lovable's Commercial Terms
Lovable's terms are builder-friendly:
- Full code ownership: The code Lovable generates is yours. Export it to GitHub, deploy it anywhere, sell it however you want.
- No revenue sharing: Lovable charges for platform access (Free, Pro at $25/mo, Business at $50/mo), not for your app's revenue.
- Code export via GitHub: One-click sync to a GitHub repository gives you a standard React + Tailwind + Supabase codebase you can host anywhere.
- No lock-in: If you leave Lovable, your code comes with you.
How to Monetize Your Lovable App
Lovable has a chat-driven Stripe integration that makes adding payments straightforward:
- Connect Supabase to your Lovable project (required for payment processing).
- Describe your pricing in the chat (e.g., "Add three subscription tiers: Free, Pro at $29/mo, and Team at $49/mo").
- Lovable generates the Edge Functions, database tables with RLS, and UI components automatically.
- Test with Stripe Test Mode using card number 4242 4242 4242 4242.
- Go live by switching to Stripe Live Mode and publishing.
Important: Never paste your Stripe Secret Key directly into the chat. Use Lovable's secure Add API Key form.
