Lovable: $500M ARR and 1M Projects a Week — a Threat to SaaS?

Friends, sharing startup news: Lovable told TechCrunch it reached $500M ARR and now creates up to 1M new projects weekly.

Key points:
- Founded in 2023, Lovable reports 50M projects created; users are mainly non-technical: founders, designers, salespeople.
- They build commercial products and internal tools: websites, stores, CRMs, inventory and HR systems.
- Challenge for traditional SaaS: if projects are durable, people may prefer building over costly subscriptions. Main risk — maintenance and abandoned projects.

Why it matters: abandonment rates will determine whether this is a lasting paradigm shift.

Are companies ready to rely on such platforms long term?
