Service
The human support Lovable doesn't give you — keeping your app up and secure.
Lovable App Care Plan is a fixed-scope service for founders and teams who built on Lovable.dev: A senior engineer keeps your live app healthy month to month: monitoring for outages and runaway credit burn, re-checking security after changes, patching what breaks, and applying a fixed allowance of small fixes — so you are not alone with a production app.A monthly plan for a live Lovable app: uptime and credit-burn monitoring, security re-checks, dependency and platform-change patching, and a small-fixes allowance.
The problem
Your Lovable app is live, but there is no one watching it. A platform change, an expired key, a new dependency break, or a quietly re-opened RLS hole can take it down or expose data — and you find out from a user, not a dashboard.
What you get
A senior engineer keeps your live app healthy month to month: monitoring for outages and runaway credit burn, re-checking security after changes, patching what breaks, and applying a fixed allowance of small fixes — so you are not alone with a production app.
What’s included
- Uptime and error monitoring so you hear about problems before your users do
- Credit-burn and cost watch — flag spikes before they become a surprise bill
- Periodic RLS, secret, and auth re-checks after platform or dependency changes
- Dependency and platform-change patching to keep the build green
- A fixed monthly small-fixes allowance for the inevitable little breakages
Typical timeline
Ongoing monthly — pause or cancel anytime
Who this is for
- Founders running a live Lovable app with real users and no engineer on call
- Teams who finished a rescue or productionize engagement and want to keep the app healthy
- Anyone who has been burned by a silent breakage, a surprise credit bill, or a re-opened security hole
This isn’t the right fit if…
- Apps that need active feature development and a standing engineering block — that is the Scale & Retainer engagement
- A one-time broken app that needs fixing now — start with App Rescue, then move to a care plan
What a typical engagement looks like
1. Onboarding & baseline
We take scoped access, review the live app and its Supabase backend, and set a baseline: what healthy looks like, what to monitor, and the known risks to watch.
2. Monitor & watch
We watch uptime, errors, and credit burn between check-ins, so a platform change or cost spike surfaces to us first rather than to your users or your card statement.
3. Patch & re-check
On a set cadence we patch dependency and platform breakages, re-check RLS, secrets, and auth after changes, and apply your small-fixes allowance to the little things.
4. Monthly health note
You get a short written summary each month — what we watched, what we changed, and what to keep an eye on — so you always know the state of your app.
How we scope and price this
Every engagement is fixed-scope: we agree the scope on a free first call and send a firm number in writing before any work begins — so you never pay by the hour or burn more credits guessing. What the quote depends on:
- How critical the app is — a hobby project versus a revenue app with real users
- How much monitoring and re-check cadence you want (monthly, weekly, or on-change)
- The size of the small-fixes allowance you want included each month

Diagnosis & fixed quote
We diagnose the real root cause and send a clear, fixed-price scope. No vague hourly black holes, no surprise fees.
- 03
We do the work
The senior engineer who scoped it does the work, with you in the loop. Source code stays yours throughout.
- 04
Ship, secure & hand over
We ship it, harden it, and hand over a working, documented app — plus a written summary of what we did and why.
How we deliver — and what you can verify
- The plan is preventative by design: monitoring and periodic re-checks catch the outage, cost spike, or re-opened RLS hole before it becomes an incident
- Every month you get a short written health note — what we watched, what we patched, and what to keep an eye on — not a silent invoice
- Access stays least-privilege and scoped for the whole retainer, and you can pause or cancel anytime with your access revoked on offboarding
How we handle your code, data & secrets
- Access stays least-privilege and scoped to your repo and infrastructure for the whole retainer — a standing collaborator seat, never your account password
- Any secrets we handle move over encrypted channels and are never stored outside the active engagement
- You can pause or cancel anytime; on offboarding we revoke our standing access and delete our working copies
- NDA available on request; you keep full ownership of your code and data for the whole plan
Frequently asked questions
How is the Care Plan different from the Scale & Retainer service?
The Care Plan keeps a finished app healthy — monitoring, security re-checks, patching, and small fixes. The Scale & Retainer engagement is a larger, standing engineering block for building new features and actively growing the app. If you mainly want peace of mind, choose the Care Plan; if you want ongoing feature development, choose Scale & Retainer.
Why do I need monitoring for a Lovable app that already works?
Because a working app does not stay working on its own. Platform updates, expiring keys, new dependency versions, and quietly re-opened RLS policies all break live apps without warning. Monitoring means you hear about it from a dashboard, not from an angry user or a surprise bill.
What counts as a small fix in the monthly allowance?
Little things: a broken link, a failing form, a copy change, a dependency bump, a re-check after a platform change. Larger feature work or a full rebuild falls outside the allowance — we tell you clearly when something is bigger than the plan covers and scope it separately.
Can I start a Care Plan after a rescue or productionize job?
Yes — that is the most common path. We rescue or productionize the app once, then a Care Plan keeps it healthy so it does not drift back into a broken or exposed state. You keep full ownership either way.
How much does the Care Plan cost?
The monthly figure tracks how critical the app is, how much monitoring and re-check cadence you want, and the size of the small-fixes allowance you need. Book a call and we confirm the exact monthly figure for your app.
Is there any lock-in?
No. You can pause or cancel anytime, and on offboarding we revoke our access and delete our working copies. You keep everything.
