Pros and cons

Bolt

Pros

  • Chat-to-app flow with live preview, requiring no local setup
  • Built-in database, authentication, hosting and custom domains in one project
  • Free plan includes hosting, unlimited databases and private projects
  • Expo integration covers iOS and Android apps from the same prompt flow
  • Imports from Figma, GitHub and Lovable, and supports MCP connectors
  • Paid plans roll unused tokens over

Cons

  • Token-based usage: the Free plan is capped at 1M tokens per month and 300K per day, and larger projects use more tokens per message
  • Max agent, custom domains and Bolt branding removal require a paid plan
  • Free-plan sites go offline for the rest of the month when hosting limits are exceeded
  • Projects started for web do not easily convert to mobile; mobile must be requested in the first prompt
  • No public API and no native mobile app for Bolt itself

v0 by Vercel

Pros

  • Generates Next.js, React, Tailwind and shadcn/ui code with a live preview
  • Built-in editor, Design Mode and GitHub pull request workflow
  • Deploys to Vercel from the same interface
  • Imports Figma designs, screenshots and existing GitHub repositories
  • Offers a REST API, TypeScript SDK and an iOS app

Cons

  • Free plan is limited to 7 messages per day
  • Credit-based billing makes monthly cost depend on model and prompt size
  • Centered on the Next.js and React stack; the full workflow assumes Vercel
  • Business costs $100 per user per month with the same $30 monthly credits as Plus
  • No Android app
