What this changes for a company choosing a partner

Real specialization

Do not read the ticked boxes: look for the specialty in the headline and the showcased projects. That is where it shows when it exists.

Client reviews

Only 3.4% of partners display any. Their presence is a strong signal, their absence is a reason to ask for references.

Projects in production

The median is 2 showcased projects. Ask to see a tool that is actually used, not only a mockup.

Data security

5% of partners mention it. If the tool handles your data, ask the question before choosing.

Methodology

Source: Lovable public partner directory (lovable-partner-directory.lovable.app), survey of October 17, 2026, 704 profiles.

All fields are self-declared: filled in by the partners themselves, without independent verification.

Highlighted e-commerce or Marketplace, security and agentic engineering are classified by keyword search in each profile's headline and description.

Budgets: the 81.9% refers to the 697 declaring partners whose declared ranges are all ‘Under $5,000’ or ‘$5,000 to $15,000’. The chart counts range mentions; a partner can declare several.

Limits: incomplete or outdated profiles weigh on the aggregates; no partner is named, only aggregates are published.
