Lovable Tops $500 Million Run Rate as Weekly Project Creation Hits 1 Million

2 articles · Updated · TechCrunch · Jun 9

Summary

  • $500 million in annualized revenue run rate marks Lovable’s latest milestone, up from more than $400 million disclosed in February.
  • 1 million new projects a week and more than 50 million total projects built show usage is still accelerating for the startup founded in late 2023.
  • Lovable says many users are non-technical founders, designers and salespeople building websites, storefronts and internal tools they plan to monetize or use at work.
  • That usage pattern suggests AI “vibe coding” is starting to encroach on legacy SaaS, though the bigger test is whether those apps can be maintained rather than quickly abandoned.
