The short answer
All four AI app builders have a free plan, and each one meters it differently:
- GenMB: 8 credits a day, up to 40 a month, plus 40 free welcome credits when you sign up. Unlimited apps and free publishing.
- Bolt.new: 1M tokens a month, with a 300K daily token limit, and Bolt branding on your site.
- Lovable: 5 build credits a day, up to 30 a month, plus 20 Cloud credits a month for hosting.
- v0: a 7 message a day limit, deploys to Vercel, and $5 of one-time credits for new users.
Pick GenMB if you want the app plus workflows and agents in one place. Pick v0 if you already ship on Vercel. Pick Bolt.new or Lovable if you prefer their editors.
