Bolt.new vs Lovable
A decision for a beginner, not a spec sheet. Scores are our weights. Prices are the public plans, and anything marked verify on the tool page should be re-checked before you pay.
The call
- Bolt.new: Browser builder with a code view and hosting. Lovable: Browser app builder with hosting, Git sync, and code export on paid plans.
- Neither tool is a clear no-code winner over the other. Read the skill scores before you decide on comfort.
- On the kind of project, these two are close. Budget and where you want to work should break the tie.
Pick Bolt.new if you want a first web app or landing page you want to see running today.
Pick Lovable if you want a web app or SaaS you want to describe in the browser.

$25/mo
VerifyBilling docs say annual saves 10%. A worked example on the same page lists the Pro 10M annual plan at $216/year, which is not 10% off $25/mo. Confirm the annual price in the upgrade dialog.
Starts at 10M tokens per month, no daily cap. Unused paid tokens roll for one extra month. Custom domain, no Bolt branding, 100MB uploads.
The pricing page lists Pro at $25/mo as the starting individual paid plan. The monthly price is used for matching. The annual rate is marked verify because the billing page states both 10% off and $216/year.
