What is Lovable's revenue?
Over $600M in annual run-rate revenue as of late September 2026, per the company. A run rate projects recent revenue over a year; it is not audited annual revenue. TechCrunch also reported that Lovable raised $400M at a $13.3 billion valuation in August 2026, after a $6.6 billion valuation in December 2025.

All figures are company-reported run rates (ARR or annualized revenue), as published by Lovable or reported by the press on the dates shown. None is verified.
Is Lovable's growth slowing down?
The pace changed. Going by the reported milestones, $300M to $400M took about a month (January to February 2026), and TechCrunch's headline said it "added $100M in revenue last month alone". The next step, to $500M, took about four months, and $500M to $600M about three and a half (our calc. from the reported dates). It still adds about $100M of run rate every few months.
