If you searched for a Lovable expert partner, here is the short version: Lovable's partner program has two separate tracks, Experts and Solution Partners. Experts are individual builders and small teams. Solution Partners are larger firms that take on bigger engagements, and they are ranked in four tiers. We are a Lovable Certified Solutions Partner 2026, listed in Lovable's directory as a Select Solution Partner. We are not a Lovable Expert.
This guide explains the program from the buyer's side: what each track is for, what the tiers and badges actually tell you, and how to choose. If you already know you want help scoping a build, you can work with us as your Lovable partner.
The short answer: Experts vs Solution Partners
The Lovable Partner Program is one global program with one shared application. Lovable recommends a track to each applicant, and the applicant picks. Here is how the two tracks compare:
- Who it is for: Experts are individual builders, freelancers and small studios, typically fewer than 5 people. Solution Partners are agencies, consultancies and system integrators, typically 5 people or more.
- Typical clients: Experts usually work with founders, small businesses and mid-market companies. Solution Partners typically serve mid-market and enterprise clients.
- Typical work: Experts build websites, apps and internal tools. Solution Partners take on bigger engagements and AI transformation programs.
- Tiers: Experts have none. Solution Partners have four: Registered, Select, Premier and Elite.
- Badge: Experts earn the "Certified Lovable Expert" badge. Solution Partners carry a tier and earn the Certified Partner badge once certified through a Lovable project.
- Plan requirement: Experts need a Lovable Pro plan or above. Solution Partners need a Lovable Business subscription or higher.
Both tracks appear in the same partner directory, and Expert profiles and Solution Partner profiles are easy to tell apart.
What a Lovable Expert is
A Lovable Expert is a hands-on builder: the freelancer who ships your marketing site, or the small studio that turns a founder's idea into a working app.
Experts earn certification on work they have already shipped. Lovable runs an automated assessment of their build activity, and they complete Academy learning modules on security, client delivery and SEO/AEO. There is no exam.
The Expert track has two certifications: Website builder and App builder. An Expert can earn one or both.
The Expert track has no tiers. Every Certified Lovable Expert is certified and listed the same way, so you compare Experts on their projects, not on a level.
An Expert is usually the right call when the job is well defined, one builder can own it from start to finish, and you want to work directly with the person doing the building.
What a Solution Partner is, and what the four tiers mean
A Solution Partner is a firm, not a solo builder. These are agencies, consultancies and system integrators delivering AI transformation work.
Lovable sets the path into the track. A firm applies, sets up and signs, and builds for its own business on Lovable first. It then gets certified through a Lovable project, earns the Certified Partner badge, gets listed in the directory and delivers for clients. So a listed Solution Partner has used Lovable on its own business before building on it for yours.
Here are the four tiers in plain words:
- Registered (Level 1): the default tier when a firm joins. Certification comes next.
- Select (Level 2): Lovable's own shorthand is "verified, earning, listed." The requirement is certification, so a Select partner has met Lovable's bar through a real Lovable project and appears in the directory.
- Premier (Level 3): "scaled producer, featured placement." Premier is based on revenue the partner has sold or managed.
- Elite (Level 4): "strategic partner, hero placement." Elite is also based on sold or managed revenue.
For a buyer, the key point is that Select is the certification tier, while Premier and Elite measure commercial volume. A higher tier tells you a firm does more business on Lovable. It does not, on its own, tell you that firm is the best fit for your project, budget or team.
What the directory badges tell you
Lovable says every partner in its directory has met a published certification bar, and every profile shows real projects built on Lovable. So a badge is a floor, not a ceiling.
Keep two things in mind. A badge shows the partner met Lovable's bar, not that their past projects match your job, so still review the work yourself. And Lovable's other ways to partner (the affiliate program, content creators and community programs) are separate programs, not certification tracks, so a referral link on someone's site does not equal a Certified Partner badge.
Which one we are, and why it matters if you hire us
We are a Lovable Certified Solutions Partner 2026, and our directory profile lists us as a Select Solution Partner. We are not on the Expert track, we do not hold the Certified Lovable Expert badge, and we are not Premier or Elite.
Here is what that means for you: we met Lovable's certification bar through a real Lovable project, and you work with a practitioner-led AI team based in South Miami where the people who advise you also build and train. Beyond Lovable builds, we run executive bootcamps, team workshops, custom corporate training, strategic advisory and managed AI services.
On Lovable, we shipped the rerelease of Flomingl, a live event networking app where guests join with a flock code or QR and share contacts only after a mutual yes. We also led a hands-on Spanish-language workshop on AI prompting and building apps with Lovable for the Cuba Emprende Foundation.
If your project is a single website and you want one builder, a Certified Lovable Expert may suit you better, and we will say so.
How to hire a Lovable partner: a buyer checklist
Lovable's own buyer page, Hire a Verified Expert or Solution Partner, covers the basics. Here is that guidance, plus a few checks of our own:
- Look at real projects on the profile. Open them, click through, and ask which parts the partner built.
- Match the track to the size of the job. A website, MVP or internal tool often fits an Expert. Larger engagements, several stakeholders or a transformation program usually fit a Solution Partner.
- Read the badge and the tier for what they are. Confirm the track and the certification. For Experts, ask whether they hold the Website builder or App builder certification, or both.
- Agree scope and price directly with the partner. You contact partners directly, and Lovable says it adds no fee on top. Put the scope in writing before work starts.
- Confirm how the Lovable subscription is handled. Some partners bundle it into their work, and in other setups you pay Lovable directly. Settle this up front so nobody is surprised later.
- Keep the project in your own Lovable workspace. That way you own what gets built, and you can keep the partner, set up a retainer or edit it yourself.
Lovable partner program FAQ
Is a Lovable Expert the same as a Lovable partner?
Every Lovable Expert is a Lovable partner, but not every partner is an Expert. Experts and Solution Partners are two different tracks in the same program. In Lovable's words, Experts are individual builders and small teams of less than 5 people, while Solution Partners are often larger agencies that take on bigger engagements and transformation programs.
What does Select mean in the Lovable partner directory?
Select is Level 2 of the Solution Partner track. It means the firm is certified, earning and listed in the directory. It sits above Registered and below Premier and Elite, which are based on revenue thresholds rather than certification.
Are you a Lovable Expert?
No. We are a Lovable Certified Solutions Partner 2026, listed as a Select Solution Partner. The Expert track is separate and is meant for individual builders and small teams.
Who owns the app a Lovable partner builds?
You do, as long as the project lives in your own Lovable workspace, which is what Lovable recommends. You can then keep working with the partner, move to a retainer or make changes yourself.
Can a partner switch from Expert to Solution Partner?
Yes. Lovable lets partners switch tracks as their business changes, for example when a solo builder grows into a larger firm. Switching resets their progress in the program.
Want a Solution Partner to scope it with you?
If your project needs a team that can build on Lovable and bring your people along, start with a scoping conversation with us as your Lovable partner.
