Lovable at $17M ARR
Jan-Erik Asplund
TL;DR: Swedish AI app builder Lovable has accelerated to become a major player in the "vibe coding" ecosystem with a series of new features that bring Figma-like visual editing capabilities to the app building experience. Sacra estimates that Lovable reached $17M ARR by February 2025, growing 143% in just two months from $7M at the end of 2024. For more, check out our full report and dataset on Lovable.
We first covered Lovable at $7M ARR in January 2025 when it had just rebranded from GPT Engineer, a command-line app builder that had become one of GitHub's fastest-growing open source projects, to a GUI-based AI app building platform orchestrating multiple LLMs.
Here's our Lovable update with key points via Sacra AI:
- Sacra estimates that Lovable reached $17M ARR by the end of February 2025, representing an explosive 143% growth in just two months from the $7M ARR reported at the end of 2024, with 30,000 paying customers (up from 140,000 registered users in our previous coverage) and 25,000 new projects created daily on the platform.
- Lovable's March 2025 introduction of "Visual Edits," a Figma-like visual editor that allows users to directly modify frontend elements without writing code, alongside "Dev Mode" for viewing and editing the full code repository within the Lovable Editor, addresses the growing need for precise control in the rapid prototyping phase of app development and begins to blur the line between no-code visual builders and AI-powered code generation.
- With over 1.2 million apps built since launch and 4,000+ instances continuously hosted on fly.io, Lovable is deepening its integrations with third-party services like Supabase for databases, Clerk for authentication, and GitHub for code storage, further cementing its position in the "vibe coding" ecosystem where AI app builders offer end-to-end solutions through partnerships with specialized API-centric infrastructure providers.
