Lovable vs Bolt vs v0

Lovable

A prompt-to-app builder for shipping a hosted web app without a local setup.

Bolt.new

An in-browser app builder from StackBlitz, with a live preview as you prompt. The directory name is Bolt.new.

v0

Vercel's generator for React interfaces you can edit and drop into a project.

Lovable

Founders and designers who want a hosted app from a paragraph, then the code if they need it.

Bolt.new

Builders who want a full web app and a live preview without installing a toolchain.

v0

People building web UI who want a first version of the interface quickly.

Lovable

Freemium, priced by credits rather than seats. Pro with 100 credits is $25/month, or $250/year. Higher tiers cost more. Business starts at $50/month for 100 credits.

Bolt.new

Freemium. The pricing page lists a paid plan at $25/month, then Teams at $30 per member per month. Enterprise is custom.

v0

Freemium. Plus is $30 per user per month and includes $30 of credits. Business is $100 per user per month. A $20 Premium plan is being sunset and is not sold to new users.

Lovable

Yes. 5 build credits a day, capped at 30 a calendar month, plus 20 Cloud credits and 4 AI credits a month. Code editing, downloading code, and custom domains are not on Free.

Bolt.new

Yes. 1 million tokens a month, with a 300,000 token daily cap. Unused free tokens do not roll over. Published sites show Bolt branding, and custom domains are not on Free. Direct edits in Code view do not spend tokens.

v0

Yes. The pricing page lists a free plan with 7 messages a day, deploy to Vercel, Design Mode, and GitHub sync. Included free credits depend on the offer on the account. Docs say some new signups get $5 once, while some existing free users keep $5 a month. Check billing settings.

Lovable

Browser.

Bolt.new

Browser. Projects can publish to a bolt.host URL, within the plan's request cap.

v0

Browser. Deploy to Vercel and GitHub sync are on the free plan.

Lovable

A hosted app from a description, with publish and a backend grant on the free plan. You own the code. Pro adds code editing, download, and custom domains. It is the highest of these three on the vibe-coding shortlist.

Bolt.new

A full project with a live preview and no local install. The $25 plan removes the daily token cap, and unused paid tokens can roll over one extra month.

v0

The right one of the three when the output is a React interface rather than a whole backend. Free includes visual editing, GitHub sync, and a Vercel deploy. It has the highest editorial score of the three.

Lovable

Free build credits stop after 30 in a month, about six days at the daily grant. Editing and downloading the code waits for Pro. It is a weaker pick if you wanted a single component, not an app.

Bolt.new

Free usage is capped daily and monthly, and the published site wears Bolt branding until you pay. A large project spends more tokens per message because Bolt syncs the file tree.

v0

The free plan stops at 7 messages a day. It is the wrong primary tool when you need a whole backend rather than an interface. Premium at $20 is not available to new users.
