Lovable vs Bolt.new

The short answer. Both build a working website or app from a description, with no coding. Lovable is the gentler start for a complete beginner. Bolt.new shows more of the code and hosts the result for you, which helps if a developer will take over later.

Which one should you pick?

Choose Lovable if

  • You have never built a website and want the simplest path
  • You want a finished-looking result from a short description
  • You are making a landing page, a prototype or a small internal tool

Choose Bolt.new if

  • You want a monthly free allowance to experiment with
  • You or a colleague can read code and want to see it
  • You want to host the result with one click

With either one, have someone check the app for security problems before real customer data goes into it.

The details

Lovable

by Lovable

Describe an app or website in plain words and it builds a working version you can publish.

People use it to

  • Build a simple website or landing page from a description
  • Make a small internal tool, like a booking form
  • Turn an idea into a clickable prototype to show others

What it costs

Free plan with 5 credits a day (up to 30 a month). Pro 25 EUR/month incl. VAT and Business 50 EUR/month, as shown from Europe.

Good to know

Every message uses credits, and the free ones run out fast on bigger projects. Check the app for security holes before you put real customer data in it.

Bolt.new

by StackBlitz

A chat in your browser that writes, runs and hosts a website or app from your description.

People use it to

  • Build a website or web app by describing it
  • Try out an app idea before paying a developer
  • Host a finished project online with one click

What it costs

Free plan with 1M tokens a month (300K a day). Pro $25/month, Teams $30 per member/month.

Good to know

Tokens are used up quickly when the AI gets stuck fixing its own errors. Larger apps usually still need a developer to clean up the code.
