Lovable wins this comparison on evidence volume and on nothing else. ProvenStartups has indexed 19 businesses that name Lovable and 3 that name Base44. Three cases is not a sample — it is an anecdote with a spreadsheet around it, so read the Base44 column as evidence that does not exist yet rather than as a verdict on the tool.

Which tool's builders show more revenue evidence?
Lovable, by roughly six to one: 19 indexed cases against 3, out of 406 graded businesses. That gap measures how many founders have broken their numbers down on camera, not which builder makes better software. Base44 launched later, sold to Wix mid-story, and its users have simply published less.
For scale, the same index holds 98 cases naming ChatGPT, 49 naming Claude Code, 44 naming Cursor and 15 naming Bolt. Base44's 3 is the second-smallest file we hold on any AI coding tool. Anyone publishing a confident revenue verdict here is guessing, mostly from feature pages.
Every number below carries an evidence grade: ✅ third-party verified (an outside party confirmed it), 🗣 founder-reported (the operator stated it themselves), 📎 creator-relayed (a breakdown channel reported someone else's figure), and 🔮 unproven (a model, a price list, or a projection with no cash behind it). The grade matters more than the size of the number.
