Lovable vs Bolt: free AI app builder plans compared

Deals checked 22 Oct 2026

Both AI app builders have a free plan. Lovable gives you 5 build credits a day (up to 30 a month) plus 20 Cloud credits a month, and unused daily credits don't roll over. Bolt gives you 300K tokens a day, up to 1M a month, with Bolt branding on your sites. Credits and tokens aren't the same unit, so try both on a small project. Lovable also has a student discount.

Everything below is quoted from each official pricing page (last checked 22 Oct 2026). We don't pick a winner. The right one depends on what you're building.
