How Big Is Lovable Free Storage?
Short answer: Lovable's free plan isn't capped by a storage number — it's metered by daily build credits. Your app's data and files live in the connected Supabase backend, whose free tier gives about 500 MB database + 1 GB file storage. Here's the full picture.
Last updated June 17, 2026
People expect a number like "Lovable free gives you X GB," but that's not how it works. Lovable's free plan is metered by build credits — 5 per day, up to roughly 30 a month — which govern how much the AI will build for you, not how much data you can store. Your built app is hosted free on a lovable.app URL.
Storage comes from the backend. When your app needs a database, file uploads, or logins, Lovable connects Supabase, and Supabase's plan sets your storage. On the free tier that's about 500 MB of database storage and 1 GB of file storage, with a 50 MB per-file limit — plenty to launch and validate a small app. Need more? Upgrade Supabase. Want more daily building, private projects, and a custom domain? Upgrade Lovable to Pro.

Frequently asked questions
How big is Lovable's free storage?
Lovable's free plan isn't defined by a single storage number — it's metered by build credits (5 per day, up to about 30 per month), which limit how much you can build, not how much you can store. Your app's actual data and files are stored in the backend Lovable connects (Supabase), and that's where storage limits come from: Supabase's free tier provides roughly 500 MB of database storage and 1 GB of file storage, with a 50 MB per-file upload limit. So the practical answer is: free Lovable apps get the Supabase free-tier storage (~500MB DB + 1GB files), while the Lovable free plan itself caps your daily building via credits.
Does Lovable include storage, or does it come from Supabase?
For app data and uploaded files, storage comes from the connected Supabase project, not from Lovable directly. Lovable provides the builder and hosting for your site/app on a free lovable.app URL; when your app needs a database, file storage, or authentication, Lovable wires in Supabase, and Supabase's plan determines your storage. On the free tiers, that's about 500 MB database and 1 GB file storage. If you need more, you upgrade the Supabase plan (separate from your Lovable plan).
What does the Lovable free plan actually limit?
The Lovable free plan limits your building, not your storage: you get 5 credits per day (capped near 30 per month), projects are public, your app shows a Lovable badge, and you can't use a custom domain. Credits are consumed when the AI builds or edits your app. Upgrading to Pro ($25/month) adds 100 monthly credits, custom domains, private projects, and removes the badge. Storage for your app's data is governed separately by your Supabase tier.
What are the Supabase free tier storage limits?
As of 2026, the Supabase free tier provides approximately 500 MB of Postgres database storage and 1 GB of file (object) storage, with individual file uploads limited to 50 MB, plus monthly active user and bandwidth limits. Free projects can also pause after a period of inactivity. These numbers can change, so check Supabase's current pricing page — but they're the storage you effectively get for a free Lovable app that uses Supabase.
How do I get more storage for my Lovable app?
Upgrade the backend, not just Lovable. Since file and database storage come from Supabase, moving the connected Supabase project from the free tier to a paid plan increases your database and file storage significantly. Separately, upgrading Lovable to Pro gives you more build credits, a custom domain, and private projects. So 'more storage' = upgrade Supabase; 'more building + custom domain' = upgrade Lovable. Many apps run a long time on the free tiers before needing either.
