Yorki vs Lovable: an honest comparison
Both turn a description into a working web app. They differ in what a month costs, what is included, and what happens after your app is live.
Published Checked on 20 October 2026 against Lovable’s pricing page and docs.
The short answer
Yorki Pro is $11.99 a month for 100 credits, and Lovable Pro starts at $25 a month for 100 credits. On Yorki, hosting, the database, file storage and user sign-in come with every plan and never use credits; on Lovable, the backend runs on Cloud credits, with 20 a month included and the rest taken from your plan's credits. Lovable is the better choice for teams, Figma designs and a large community, and Yorki is the better choice for one flat price that covers the whole app, before and after launch.
Side by side
| Yorki | Lovable | |
|---|---|---|
| Price for 100 credits a month | $11.99 a month on Pro, a launch price locked while you stay subscribed (list price $15) | From $25 a month on Pro, from $50 a month on Business |
| Free plan | 10 credits a month, with hosting and the cloud included | 5 build credits a day, up to 30 a month, plus 20 Cloud credits and 4 AI credits a month |
| Yearly billing | $119.90 a year, two months free | $250 a year on Pro, about 17% less than monthly |
| Credit rollover | One month on Pro: unused credits roll over to the next month, or until one month after a yearly plan ends; none on Free | Monthly-plan credits roll over while you stay subscribed and expire two months after they are issued |
| Backend (database, sign-in, storage) | Included on both plans, never uses credits | Lovable Cloud runs on credits: 20 Cloud credits a month, then your plan's credits, so the more your users use the app, the more it costs |
| Hosting and publishing | Included on both plans, with a free yorki.app address for every app | Included on every plan, on a lovable.app address |
| Custom domain | From Pro: connect a domain you own, or buy one through Yorki | From Pro |
| Development and production databases | Separate: a development cloud with its own database, sign-in and files; production changes only when you publish | One shared backend for development and production: a change to the database reaches your live app immediately |
| When something breaks | An email when a visitor runs into a problem | Visitor errors are logged in the project and you see them when you log in; email summaries, daily or weekly, only with Project Monitoring from Pro up |
| Automatic fixes | Switch them on per app: Yorki prepares the fix, you approve and publish | Not offered: you ask the AI to fix an error when you notice it |
| Vendor lock-in | None: export the code and the whole cloud in one click, with the database, user sign-in, APIs and file storage | The code syncs to GitHub and the data can be exported; the backend itself stays on Lovable Cloud |
| Teams and collaboration | Not yet | Team workspaces and collaboration on Business |
| Figma import | Not yet | Yes |
Where Lovable is the better choice
- Teams. Business adds team workspaces and collaboration. Yorki has no team workspaces or seats yet.
- Designs in Figma. Lovable imports Figma designs. Yorki does not yet.
- A large community. Lovable has a very large community and many templates, so examples and help are easy to find.
Where Yorki is the better choice
- One flat price for the whole app. Hosting, publishing, the database, file storage and user sign-in come with both plans and never use credits, so a busy app does not eat into what you build with.
- A safe place to try changes. Every app has a separate development cloud with its own data. Your users see a change only when you publish it.
- You hear about problems first. Yorki emails you when a visitor runs into a problem, and can fix it for you.
- A lower price. Pro is $11.99 a month, or $119.90 a year, at a launch price that stays the same while you stay subscribed.
Which should you pick
Pick Lovable if you work in a team, start from Figma designs, or want the largest community and template library.
Pick Yorki if you build on your own or for a small business and want one predictable monthly price that covers building, hosting and the cloud, with a separate development cloud and an email when something breaks. Yorki is a newer product with a smaller community, and it builds web apps that work on phones rather than native mobile apps.
How Yorki prices
- Free: 10 credits a month and a tiny Yorki cloud (database, authentication and file storage).
- Pro: 100 credits a month for $11.99, or $119.90 a year, which works out at $9.99 a month, with a production-grade Yorki cloud. Larger sizes go up to 5,000 credits a month. The launch price stays the same for as long as you stay subscribed; the list price is $15 a month.
- Both plans: unlimited published apps, with hosting, the database, file storage and user sign-in included.
On Pro, unused credits roll over for one month, or until one month after a yearly plan ends; on Free the allowance resets on the first day of each month. Plans are paid in advance, and Yorki never bills you after the fact. The pricing page has the full details, and Lovable's pricing page has theirs.
