Why does Lovable all of a sudden take up so many credits, I got a 100 credit plan ran out in a day, I got a 200 credit plan, ran out in that same day. I think it’s all because of agents eating credits like they are breakfast. Why do you think so? Please give tips on how to lower daily credit usage.
I’m a non-developer with a product/project management background exploring Lovable to build my first SaaS.
I can define the product logic, workflows and requirements, but I have essentially no coding experience and would rely heavily on Lovable for the technical implementation.
The application would be a real multi-tenant SaaS handling customer data, payments and some AI functionality.
Core requirements:
- Authentication (login, email verification, password reset)
- Supabase/Postgres database
- Strict data isolation between different customers/companies
- Row Level Security
- Stripe subscriptions and one-time payments
- Basic internal admin/CRM dashboard
- Server-side AI/API calls
- PDF generation
- Discount/referral logic
-Secure handling of potentially confidential B2B data
My biggest concerns are data security, privacy, backups and the reliability of an AI-generated architecture.
I would need things like:
- reliable database backups
- ability to restore data after something goes wrong
- protection against accidental data loss
- secure database migrations
- separation of development/testing and production
- encryption and secure secret/API-key handling
- proper tenant isolation
- customer data export/deletion
- appropriate logging/auditability
- compliance with data protection requirements and potentially GDPR
I’d really appreciate experiences from people who have gone beyond prototypes and actually run Lovable-built SaaS products in production.
Is it realistic for a non-developer to build something like this end-to-end with Lovable?
I’m not looking for “Lovable can build anything” answers. I’d particularly appreciate honest experiences from people running applications with real users, payments and customer data.
What do you wish you’d known before launching?
