Full-stack app builders / rank 3 of 20 / cycle 04
Lovable benchmark
Strongest single shot agent in the cohort. It read the tenancy requirement in prompt 1 without being told twice and carried the organisation scope through every later prompt. It lost points on the machine facing surface: webhook signing needed an explicit follow up in 3 of 5 runs, and the generated API had no idempotency handling.
Composite index
80.54
of 100 | withheld vs. cycle 03
Delta not shown for cycle 04: the roster was re-based from one merged ranking into two class boards, so cycle 03 and cycle 04 ranks are not on the same scale. Resumes cycle 05.

Turn latency distribution
Every recorded prompt duration for Lovable, in seconds. Median wall clock time for one prompt, not for a whole build. The cyan tick on the whisker is the median.
Spread against the cohort
p10 52.6 s / median 85.2 s / p90 133.1 s
Scale is shared with every product in the cohort, so the bars are directly comparable between pages. Ratio of p90 to median is 1.56x.

Seeded at launch
The reader scores, lab notes and open ratings published here were written by this lab in August 2026 to populate the reader column before the site had readers. They are not customer submissions, they are not vendor supplied and nobody was paid for them. Anything submitted since then comes from a registered account. The lab index is measured from logged runs and is unaffected either way.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agent performance | 18% | 89.0 | 95.3 | 6 | |
| Reliability | 18% | 82.2 | 87.5 | 6 | |
| Scalability | 13% | 78.0 | 85.5 | 6 | |

What agent performance looked like in practice
Strongest single shot agent in the cohort. It read the tenancy requirement in prompt 1 without being told twice and carried the organisation scope through every later prompt. It lost points on the machine facing surface: webhook signing needed an explicit follow up in 3 of 5 runs, and the generated API had no idempotency handling.
Across 45 recorded executions this product met the published pass criterion cleanly 37 times, partially 6 times and failed 2 times. The rows above carry the reviewer note for every non clean outcome, which is the only way to tell a product that fails loudly from one that fails quietly.
