Q: Credits System
Your app feels like lovable, but Greta’s credit system seems less cost-effective compared to Lovable. I want to move for T4 but your credit system stopping me to jump in,
Here's my analysis:
Prompt Cost:
Lovable: 1st project structured prompt = 1 credit
Greta: 1st project structured prompt = ~30 credits
Fixing/Adding Features:
Lovable: 1 long prompt = 1 credit
Greta: 1 long prompt = 10–30+ credits
Additional Credit Packages:
Lovable: 400 credits for $100 (~$0.25 per prompt)
Greta: 1200 credits for $100 → which equals to 120 prompts (~$0.83 per prompt)
I need your thoughts on this.
Just sharing this for your review—it's not criticism, just feedback to help you rethink Greta’s pricing

We’re actually using a mix of high-quality models under the hood, and as time goes on, we’ll keep optimizing them to bring the cost down even further. So pricing will only get better from here!
That said — to directly compare Greta Tier 4 and Lovable, here’s how it plays out over 2 years keeping your above calculations of credits/prompt:
- Lovable: $2,400 → 9,600 credits → $0.25 per prompt
- Greta Tier 4 (AppSumo): $400 one-time → 72,000 credits → ~$0.056 per prompt
That’s like ~1/5th of what Lovable costs.
That’s why I think it’s super important to grab the AppSumo deal haha — nothing’s gonna beat that! 😄
Also btw for every prompt it should charge 10 credits only, if its costing more, its probably an issue and we can refund those credits if you submit a bug report.
Again really appreciate the thoughtful & detailed question, 🙏 we are trying to optimize it more and I promise that with other offerings that we will launch in next few weeks, you will see how we are trying to be the best in the business for launching apps!

You should also reconsider the Additional Credit pricing Packages, it's way higher to the lovable.
Let me look into it and yes I understand, will definitely go through that and try to see how much I can bring it down. 🙌
