Lovable hits $500M in annual recurring revenue
The European vibe-coding startup tops $500M ARR with about a million new projects each week.

Lovable says it has surpassed $500 million in annual recurring revenue, according to figures shared with TechCrunch. The European startup, founded in late 2023, lets people build applications from instructions written in natural language.
The company says it has generated over 50 million projects, with roughly a million new ones each week. The growth shows how *vibe coding* is reaching non-technical users too — founders, designers and commercial teams.
The open question is how long these projects actually last: building an app is easy, but keeping it running depends on external services and infrastructure that change constantly.
