Lovable Lovable: AI Visibility Report

lovable.dev ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about ai app builders, Lovable ranks #1 of 15, a Visibility Score of 64 in AI App Builders .

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

How AI sees Lovable

Lovable owns AI App Builders outright, nothing else.

Where it wins. A 79% mention rate and a rank of 1 out of 15 competitors means the AI models consistently surface Lovable first when buyers ask which app builder to use. That is a near-dominant position in a single, real purchasing category.

Where it loses. First-pick selection sits at only 17%, so while Lovable lands in nearly every conversation, buyers frequently hear it alongside Replit, Bolt, and Cursor before committing. The complete absence from enterprise-framed prompts also means any buyer with scale requirements is probably leaving Lovable off the shortlist.
