How Big Is Lovable Free Storage?
There is no one storage number for every Lovable Free app. Lovable Cloud includes storage; apps connected to your own Supabase project follow that project's plan. Check the backend and its usage before estimating capacity.

Storage depends on your backend. Lovable's Cloud documentation says its built-in backend includes a database, authentication, and file storage. You do not need to connect a separate Supabase account to use it. Lovable also lets you connect your own Supabase project; in that case, the external project's plan determines its storage allowance.
Lovable's current plan table lists a monthly 20-credit Cloud grant on Free and 5 daily build credits, capped at 30 per calendar month. Cloud credits pay for eligible hosting and backend usage; build credits pay for creating or changing your app. Neither number tells you how many gigabytes your particular app can store. Review the project's Cloud usage and storage settings, or your external Supabase dashboard, for the practical limit.
Which storage applies to your project?
- Lovable Cloud: Open the project's Cloud area and check usage and advanced settings. Lovable documents storage controls there as your app grows.
- Your own Supabase: Check your connected Supabase project's plan and usage. Its allowance is separate from Lovable's Cloud grant.
Lovable says existing Supabase-connected projects continue to work and new projects can choose either backend. There is currently no one-click migration between them, so identify the backend before planning an upgrade. For build-credit and subscription details, see our Lovable pricing guide.

Frequently asked questions
How big is Lovable's free storage?
There is no single storage number that applies to every Lovable Free app. Lovable Cloud includes built-in database and file storage, with usage tracked in your workspace. If you connected your own Supabase project instead, that project's Supabase plan sets its storage limits. Check which backend the app uses and its current usage before planning around a capacity number.
Do I need a separate Supabase account for Lovable storage?
No. Lovable Cloud includes a built-in backend with database, authentication, and file storage, without separately setting up Supabase. Lovable also supports connecting your own Supabase project. Existing Supabase-connected projects continue to use that integration.
Does Lovable Free include Cloud usage?
Yes. Lovable currently lists a monthly 20-credit Cloud grant on Free, as well as 5 daily build credits up to 30 per calendar month. The Cloud grant covers eligible hosting and built-in backend usage before general credits. It is a usage allowance, not a promise of a particular number of gigabytes; check your workspace and project usage for actual consumption.
What if my Lovable app uses my own Supabase project?
Your external Supabase project's plan and usage dashboard determine its database and file-storage allowances. Do not apply Supabase Free limits to a Lovable Cloud project. Lovable says existing Supabase integrations remain supported and new projects can choose Cloud or Supabase.
How do I get more storage for my Lovable app?
First check the backend. For Lovable Cloud, review Cloud usage and database storage in the project's Cloud settings; Lovable documents options to increase storage as an app grows. For an external Supabase project, review its usage and plan in Supabase. Upgrading Lovable for more build credits is a separate decision from increasing backend capacity.
