Ownership & Risk
What happens to my app if I cancel my Lovable subscription?
Quick answer
Your projects and code persist; paid features like the custom domain stop at period end. With GitHub sync on, you can deploy the same code anywhere, so cancelling costs you the editor, not the product.
Cancelling is far less dramatic than most people fear. Your subscription runs to the end of the paid period, your projects remain on your account, and nothing about your app's code is deleted. What stops is the paid feature set: most importantly the custom domain and the larger credit allowance for further AI building.
If your app is synced to GitHub, cancellation barely matters at all: the full codebase is in your repository, your Supabase database is a separate service that keeps running on its own account, and you can deploy the code to Vercel or Netlify (both with free tiers) and point your domain there. The product keeps serving users; only the AI editor subscription lapsed.
The sensible cancellation sequence: confirm GitHub sync is current, set up the alternate deployment while the plan is still active, move your domain's DNS to the new host, verify everything works, then cancel a few days before your renewal date to avoid an accidental extra charge.
This is also why sprint-based usage is a legitimate pattern: pay for build months, cancel or downgrade between them, and resubscribe when the next feature push comes. Lovable's architecture makes that cycle painless, and the community treats it as normal usage rather than a workaround.
