A 10-step walkthrough with real screenshots from the live cancel flow.
In Lovable open Settings → Plans & credit usage → Manage → Downgrade to Free, skip the Switch to Lite offer and the reason survey, click Continue downgrade past the "Before you go" video, then click Confirm downgrade. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period, then drops to Free — Lovable doesn't refund partial periods. Spend or note your credits first: they're non-refundable and get frozen the moment you're on Free.
Wondering if you're paying more than you used to? the price you used to pay vs the price you pay now.
See Lovable's pricing, tiers, and difficulty score in one page. Lovable ranks #16 of 101 by cancellation difficulty.
Open Settings → Plans & credit usage. The Plans & credits screen shows your plan ("You're on Pro Plan"), the renewal date, and your Credits remaining. Lovable doesn't refund credits, and the moment you land on Free your unused paid credits are frozen — so use anything you need now, before you start the downgrade.
On the Plans & credits screen click Manage to open "Manage plan". Next to "You're on Pro Plan" click Downgrade to free. There is no separate "Cancel" button in Lovable — downgrading to Free is the cancel path.
Lovable offers a cheaper "Switch to Lite" plan ($5/month) that keeps custom domains and removes the Lovable badge. To keep canceling, ignore the blue Switch to Lite button and click Downgrade plan at the bottom.
A "Why are you downgrading?" survey appears with radio options (too many technical issues, too expensive, not using Lovable enough, missing features, switched to a competitor, other) and a "Tell us more" box. None of it is required. You can pick a reason or leave it blank — then click Downgrade plan.
A "Before you go…" screen plays a short video urging you to keep your project going, with a blue Keep Lovable Pro button. To finish canceling, click Continue downgrade underneath it.
A "Continue downgrading?" screen lists exactly what changes: a Lovable badge returns to new projects, you lose team management, custom domains are removed, your monthly credit limit drops, and credit rollover is disabled. Click the red Confirm downgrade to finalize.
Back on Plans & credits, an amber banner now reads "Pending changes scheduled for [date]: Pro (100 credits) → Free", the plan card switches to "Cancels [date]", and a toast confirms "Subscription canceled successfully. Your subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing period." That banner is your proof the cancellation registered.
When the plan drops to Free, unexpired paid credits (monthly plan credits and rollover credits) are frozen: you can't spend them while on Free, but they're not erased. If you re-subscribe to any paid plan before they expire, they thaw and you can use them again. Top-up credits you bought and any bonus credits stay usable on Free until they expire.
Downgrading only stops billing and moves you to Free at the period end — your projects, apps, and data stay on your account under the Free caps (no custom domains, the Lovable badge returns, lower credit limits). Deleting individual apps or your whole workspace is a separate action in your workspace settings.
Lovable bills through Stripe on the web — there is no Apple or Google subscription to cancel. The only cancel path is Settings → Plans & credit usage → Manage → Downgrade to Free; users report it's easy to miss because it's tucked behind "Downgrade", not labeled "Cancel". If the Stripe/Link portal doesn't show a cancel option or a charge looks wrong, contact Lovable support — their Discord tends to get a faster reply than email.
