Verdict by buyer type

Solo builders paying yearly
Bolt.new

Bolt.new Pro starts at $18 per month billed yearly, for 10M tokens a month. Lovable Pro starts at $21 per month billed yearly, for 100 credits a month. Billed monthly, both entry tiers cost $25. The two measure usage differently, in tokens and in credits.

Teams with many collaborators
Lovable

Lovable prices each workspace by credits, not seats, with unlimited members on every plan; collaborators draw on the workspace's credits. Bolt.new Teams is $27 per member per month billed yearly or $30 monthly, and each member's tokens are their own.

Builders who need native mobile apps
Bolt.new

Bolt.new builds iOS and Android apps with Expo; publishing to the App Store and Google Play goes through Expo Application Services. Lovable builds web apps only and points to a PWA or a Capacitor wrapper built outside Lovable for an installable app.

Builders who work from a phone or desktop app
Lovable

Lovable has apps for iPhone and iPad, Android, macOS and Windows, on every plan including Free. Bolt.new is browser-based and runs in mobile browsers with a reduced feature set; its pages document no desktop or mobile app.

Developers who want an open-source version to run themselves
Bolt.new

StackBlitz publishes an open-source Bolt codebase under the MIT licence on GitHub, separate from the hosted product. Lovable's pages do not document an open-source version of the builder.

Builders who want ready-made connectors and an API
Lovable

Lovable's connector directory lists 100 live connectors, and it offers a REST API from the Business plan plus an MCP server. Bolt.new's help center has guides for 9 services, and Bolt.new states it has no public API, CLI or SDK.

Security and compliance buyers
Lovable

Both document SOC 2 Type II. Lovable also holds ISO 27001:2022, offers two-factor authentication on every plan and SSO from Business. Bolt.new's trust center lists no ISO certification, and its SSO is Enterprise-only. HIPAA-bound buyers are the exception: Lovable signs no BAAs, while Bolt.new offers HIPAA through a bring-your-own-key deployment in your own AWS or Azure tenant.

Standard and Max agents (underlying models not named); Bolt Forge: GLM 5.3, GLM 5.3 Flash, Kimi K3, DeepSeek v4 Pro
