Database · updated Nov 2026
27 real products built mainly with AI coding tools, who made them, which tool they used and how much they earn, plus 10 failures and security incidents. Every entry links to a source saying it was built with AI; revenue is shown exactly as reported.
Yes, vibe coded apps make money. The best documented are Whisper AI (Nearly $150K in 2025; six figures a month by mid-2026), fly.pieter.com ($1M ARR 17 days after launch ($87K MRR)), AbMaxx (About $55K this month), and Base44 sold for $80M. But most figures are self-reported or come from the AI tools' own case studies, and the list is small: for every success there are many apps with no revenue, and several with leaked data.
How we pick: a product is listed only if the maker, a publication or the AI tool's case study says it was built mainly with AI. Revenue labels: Verified = TrustMRR, from payment data; Self-reported = the maker; Press = a publication citing the maker; AI tool's case study = the vendor's marketing, so treat it with care. We never estimate.
Apps with a figure that can be compared month to month, highest first.

Mobile apps and games dominate. Mobile because builders like Rork and subscription paywalls make it easy to charge from day one; games because a browser game is self-contained, low-risk and fun to share, which is why Vibe Jam exists. B2B SaaS is rarer, because buyers ask about security.

Lovable appears 4 times, Rork 6 times, mostly through the vendors' own case studies. Apps built with Cursor and Claude Code more often come from makers posting their own numbers. Compare the tools on our vibe coding tools page.
The other side of the ledger. Each incident is labelled by whether it is fairly blamed on vibe-coded software: some were platform bugs, and one famous case wasn't vibe coding at all.
| Date | Incident | Attribution |
|---|---|---|
| Oct 2026 | Zeabur, a deploy platform popular with vibe coders, breached and shutting down. Attackers used leaked internal admin credentials to copy customer disks: 321,810 accounts and about 3.2M environment-variable records. Zeabur will shut down by 31 December 2026. A platform breach, not a flaw in users' vibe-coded apps, but their stored secrets leaked. (cybernews.com) | Platform flaw |
| Sep 2026 | 16,326 Supabase databases found publicly readable. UpGuard found thousands of Supabase-backed apps with tables anyone could read, over half leaking personal data. Researchers noted tables created through the API, the way coding agents create them, are not protected by default. (techcrunch.com, upguard.com) | Partly vibe-coded |
| Feb 2026 | Exam app showcased by Lovable leaks 18,697 user records. A researcher found 16 flaws, including inverted login logic that let logged-out users in, exposing students at universities and K-12 schools. Lovable said part of the code and the database were not Lovable's. (theregister.com) | Partly vibe-coded |
| Jan 2026 | Moltbook leaves its whole database open. A Supabase key in the page's JavaScript, with row-level security off, gave anyone read and write access: about 1.5M agent API tokens, 35,000 email addresses and private messages, some holding plaintext OpenAI keys. Fixed within hours. (wiz.io) | Vibe-coded app |
| Jul 2025 | Base44 platform auth bypass. Wiz found endpoints that let anyone join a private Base44 app knowing only its public app ID, bypassing SSO. Wix fixed it within 24 hours; there was no evidence of exploitation. (thehackernews.com) | Platform flaw |
| Jul 2025 | Replit's agent deletes SaaStr's production database. During Jason Lemkin's vibe-coding experiment, the agent ignored a code freeze, wiped a live database of about 1,200 executives and companies, generated fake records and said a rollback was impossible. The rollback worked; Replit added automatic separation of development and production databases. (theregister.com, theregister.com) | Vibe-coded app |
| Jul 2025 | Tea app breach (often blamed on vibe coding, but it wasn't). About 72,000 images, including roughly 13,000 selfies and ID photos, leaked, followed by a second leak of private messages. Tea said the data sat in a legacy storage system from before February 2024, before vibe coding existed, and Simon Willison concluded vibe coding was not to blame. (simonwillison.net, 404media.co) | Not vibe coding |
| May 2025 | Lovable apps exposed by missing Supabase row-level security (CVE-2025-48757). Researcher Matt Palmer scanned 1,645 Lovable-built apps and found 170 whose databases anyone could read or write, across 303 endpoints. Lovable said configuring row-level security is the customer's job. (semafor.com, nvd.nist.gov) | Vibe-coded app |
| Apr 2025 | RecipeNinja publishes "Cyanide Ice Cream". With no moderation, users generated and published harmful recipes that were shown to everyone until basic filters were added. (404media.co) | Vibe-coded app |
| Mar 2025 | Enrichlead attacked days after its "zero hand-written code" post. Within days of the founder's post, people maxed out his API keys, bypassed the paywall and filled the database with junk. Write-ups blame missing authentication, rate limits and input validation; the app was shut down. (x.com, finalroundai.com) | Vibe-coded app |
The patterns behind the apps above:
Meet the indie makers doing this on our vibe coders page, or check what you could build on Can I vibe code it? Back to what is vibe coding.
Well-known examples include Pieter Levels' fly.pieter.com flight game (built with Cursor), Outbid.lol (Cursor), Creator Buddy (Cursor, Windsurf and Claude Code), Once (Claude Code), Plinq and Lumoo (Lovable) and Base44, which sold to Wix for $80M. This page lists 27 with sources.
Of the apps with a monthly-comparable figure, Whisper AI reports the most: Nearly $150K in 2025; six figures a month by mid-2026 (as reported). The biggest exit is Base44, sold to Wix for about $80M in 2025.
Lovable's own case studies cite Plinq at about $456K ARR and Lumoo at €700K ARR. These are the vendor's figures, not audited. We list 4 apps built with Lovable. Lovable the company passed a $500M revenue run-rate in June 2026.
Yes, but the sourced examples are a small, survivor-biased set. 17 of the 27 apps here report revenue; only 1 is verified from payment data, 5 are self-reported and 8 come from AI-tool vendors' case studies. The winners mostly had an audience or a sharp niche first.
Vibe Jam is Pieter Levels' annual game jam for browser games written mostly by AI: at least 80% AI code in 2025 and 90% in 2026. The 2025 edition drew more than 1,000 games; the 2026 edition, sponsored by Cursor and Bolt.new, offered $50K+ in prizes and its $25,000 winner was built with Claude Code.
Often not by default. Researchers found 170 of 1,645 Lovable apps with open databases in 2025, and Moltbook exposed 1.5M API tokens in 2026. Turn on database access rules, keep keys on the server and add rate limits before launch.
