The short version

  • Only Lovable has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Aha! sold as eight separate products rather than one subscription, so Roadmaps, Discovery, Ideas, Whiteboards, Builder, Develop, Teamwork and Knowledge are each priced per user; Lovable credit-metered rather than unlimited: Free plan gets 5 build credits/day capped at 30/month, plus 20 cloud-hosting credits/month and 4 AI-feature credits/month
  • They diverge on capability: Aha! covers Strategic roadmaps, Lovable covers Natural language programming.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Aha!

  • Sold as eight separate products rather than one subscription, so Roadmaps, Discovery, Ideas, Whiteboards, Builder, Develop, Teamwork and Knowledge are each priced per user
  • Roadmaps at $59 per user per month is expensive next to general project tools, and Discovery and Ideas add $39 each
  • The Develop integration with Roadmaps requires the Enterprise or Enterprise+ tier
  • Annual billing is by invoice only; monthly is card

Lovable

  • Credit-metered rather than unlimited: Free plan gets 5 build credits/day capped at 30/month, plus 20 cloud-hosting credits/month and 4 AI-feature credits/month
  • Credits expire: monthly plan credits expire after 2 months unused, annual-plan credits expire 1 month after the annual period ends, and all credits are non-refundable
  • Not open source; only the legacy precursor CLI gpt-engineer is open source (MIT), and that repo was archived read-only on 2026-04-22
  • Hosting is free only for smaller apps; significant traffic or size draws additional charges from the credit balance
