Your First Step to Building with Lovable
✺ Credit Awareness
Batch related changes into one prompt
The expensive way
Prompt 1: "Change the button color to navy." Prompt 2: "Also make it bigger." Prompt 3: "And add an icon." Prompt 4: "And change the text."
That's 4 credits for what should be 1.
The smart way
"Update the primary CTA: change color to navy, increase to large size, add an arrow-right icon, change text to 'Get started free.'"
One prompt. One credit. Same result.
The rule
If two changes touch the same component, page, or feature — batch them. Keep a running notepad while you preview, and send 3–4 small things at once.
