Why people look for a Bolt.new alternative

From bolt.new/pricing:

Tokens are hard to predict. Bolt counts tokens, so the cost of a request depends on how much code it reads and writes.
The free plan has a daily cap. Free gives 1M tokens a month with a 300K daily token limit.
Branding and domain. Free sites carry Bolt branding and cannot use a custom domain; Pro ($25/month, from 10M tokens) removes both limits.

1. GenMB: credits instead of tokens, plus workflows and agents

GenMB turns a plain-English prompt into a full-stack app (React + TypeScript, built with Vite and Tailwind CSS) and keeps working after it ships. More than 4,500+ apps have been built on it.

Credits with a cap. Each action costs 1 to 40 credits.
Free plan. 8 credits a day, up to 40 a month, unlimited apps, and free publishing. 40 free welcome credits when you sign up. No credit card needed.
Database. Connect your own Supabase for free. Pro includes a full database for up to 10 apps.
Pro. $25/month ($20/month billed yearly) with 300 credits, no daily limit, a custom domain, no badge, the code editor, ZIP export, and GitHub push.
Top-ups. Credit packs from $5 for 25 credits that never expire.
After the app ships. Visual workflows (19 node types), scheduled agents, chat agents on Telegram, Slack, and Email, 80 plugins, and MCP support.
Start from existing code. Import a Vite + React app from GitHub or a ZIP.

Where Bolt.new is ahead: Bolt runs your project in the browser with WebContainers, so previews start without a server round trip.

Best for: people who want predictable credits and automations next to the app.

2. Lovable: polished React apps

From lovable.dev/pricing and Lovable's plan docs:

Free: 5 build credits a day, up to 30 a month, plus 20 Cloud credits a month
Default mode prices each message by the task; Plan mode costs 1 credit a message
Editing code directly, a custom domain, and removing the "Edit with Lovable" badge need Pro or higher
Git sync is on the free plan
Paid monthly credits expire two months after they are issued; top-up credits last 12 months

Best for: people who want design-first React apps.

3. v0 by Vercel: for the Vercel stack

From v0.app/pricing:

Free: 7 messages a day, deploy to Vercel, Design Mode, GitHub sync, and $5 of one-time credits for new users
Plus: $30 per user per month with $30 of monthly credits and $2 of free daily credits on login
Business: $100 per user per month

Best for: teams already deploying on Vercel.

4. Replit: a full cloud development environment

From replit.com/pricing:

Core: $20/month ($18/month billed yearly), with $20 of usage a month
Pro: $100/month ($90/month billed yearly), with $100 of usage, 10 parallel agents, and up to 15 collaborators

Best for: people who want an IDE with an AI agent and are comfortable with code.

Firebase Studio: closing down

Google closed Firebase Studio to new sign-ups and new workspaces on 22 June 2026 and will shut it down on 22 March 2027. Existing users can keep working until then. Core Firebase services such as Firestore, Authentication, and App Hosting keep running outside Firebase Studio.
