Does Plan mode cost credits?
Yes, Plan mode costs 1 credit per message. It's cheaper than Agent mode, which uses variable credits depending on task complexity. Use Plan mode for decision-making and investigation, then switch to Agent mode only when you're ready to implement. This saves credits while still letting you explore ideas.
Does Plan mode ever change my code?
No, Plan mode never modifies your code. It's a planning and reasoning mode where Lovable explores ideas, investigates issues, and reasons about changes BEFORE code is written. Lovable asks clarifying questions and presents a plan. Only Agent mode can implement changes. Use Plan mode to think through decisions, then switch to Agent mode to execute.
