Lovable: When to use BUILD vs PLAN mode
Simple rule: Plan Mode is for thinking, Build Mode is for doing.
Plan Mode (1 credit/message, never touches code). Use it when:
- You're planning a new feature or unsure of the approach
- You want to investigate a bug safely without risking more broken code
- A fix has failed 2-3 times and you're going in circles
- You want to compare approaches before committing to one
Build Mode (default, variable cost based on complexity). Use it when:
- You know exactly what you want and are ready to implement
- You want the AI to autonomously write code, fix bugs, or refactor across multiple files
The cleanest workflow: use Plan Mode to figure out the approach, then click "Approve" when you're happy with the plan and it automatically switches to Build Mode to execute.
Many users spend 60-70% of their time in Plan Mode before touching a single line of code.
