Lovable Cloud

Built-in backend for Lovable apps

Free tier + paidDatabases & backendlovable.dev

What it is

The backend built directly into Lovable, giving generated apps a database, authentication, file storage and server-side functions with no setup step. Every Lovable Cloud project runs on Supabase behind the scenes, so the underlying store is real Postgres with row-level security rather than a proprietary engine.

Why it earns a slot

The zero-decision option: describe the app and the backend appears, with keys and secrets handled inside Lovable billing. You can still connect your own Supabase project instead if you want to own the infrastructure outright.

Know before you commit

Usage is metered in Lovable credits rather than Supabase pricing, so costs are harder to predict. You do not get direct Supabase dashboard access unless you connect your own project.
