LoveByte: 100,000 Downloads, 3 Million Messages Sent

lovebyte

About eight months after LoveByte was first launched, the couples’ messaging app today has more than 100,000 downloads in 96 countries. In total, its users have sent three million messages and 700,000 photos, memos, and dates thus far.

The numbers look OK considering LoveByte only had about US$80,000 of funding so far. The team consists of four founders, two developers, and one marketing intern.

Meanwhile its Korean counterpart, Between, also a couples-oriented messaging app, recently raised $2.8 million and boosts 2.35 million downloads. But very few Between uses are from Southeast Asia and it has no immediate plans to expand in that region.
