What happens to my app and code if I cancel Lovable?
Quick answer
You keep your app, your projects, and your code. Canceling drops you to the Free plan; it does not delete anything. Because Lovable syncs a standard React codebase to your own GitHub, your app already lives in a repo you control, so you can keep building it in your own IDE even without a paid plan.
The most reassuring fact first: canceling does not wipe your work. Your account stays active on the Free plan, your projects remain, and your generated code is not deleted. What you lose are the paid-tier features, any unused credits, and the editing ability that is tied to the paid subscription, not the app itself.
The real safety net is code ownership. Lovable generates a conventional React plus Vite plus TypeScript plus Tailwind app and offers bi-directional GitHub sync. If you connected GitHub while subscribed, a complete copy of your app is already sitting in your own repo. After canceling you can clone it, run it locally, and keep developing in VS Code or any editor with zero dependency on Lovable's paid tier. Your Supabase backend is a separate account you own, so your database and auth stay with you too.
There is a practical detail worth planning around: monthly plan credits roll over while you stay subscribed, but you forfeit unused credits when you downgrade, and daily credits never carry over. So if you are sitting on a pile of plan credits, use them before you cancel. And since cancellation is not prorated, you keep paid access until the end of the cycle you already paid for.
The recommended move before canceling: make sure GitHub sync is on and your latest work is pushed, and if the app is live, confirm your hosting and Supabase are connected directly rather than only through the Lovable editor. Do that and canceling becomes a clean handoff to yourself rather than a loss of anything.
Who should be careful: if you have only ever built inside the Lovable editor without connecting GitHub, connect it and push before you downgrade so you have a local, fully owned copy. Once that repo exists, canceling costs you convenience and paid features, never your actual app.
