12 Best Bolt.new Alternatives (2026)

1. Base44

Our use-case verdicts have Base44 ahead of Bolt.new for beginners, free plans, internal tools, mobile apps and ui design and matches it for self-hosted.

Seen from the other side, Bolt.new vs Base44: adds self-host the output.

Why teams switch: Base44's free plan caps usage at twenty-five message credits per month. Bolt.new's free plan caps usage at 300,000 tokens per day and 1,000,000 tokens per month; the two use different units and do not compare directly. Base44's cheapest paid plan costs $20/mo, or $16/mo billed annually. Bolt.new's cheapest paid plan costs $25/mo. Base44 includes a custom domain from its Starter plan; Bolt.new reserves the custom domain for its Pro tier and above. Bolt.new lets unused credits roll over, Base44's do not. The lower entry price and earlier custom domain access make Base44 the stronger choice once a builder moves past free. Free Plans verdict →

Overall verdict: Base44 wins the overall comparison by leading on disclosed pricing, integrations, and design workflow. Base44's free plan caps usage at twenty-five message credits per month and its cheapest paid plan is $20/mo, or $16/mo billed annually, both cheaper entry points than Bolt.new's $25/mo, deciding beginners and free plans. Base44 also includes built-in authentication and publishes marketplace connectors including Google Workspace, deciding internal tools, and confirms Figma and screenshot import for UI design. Bolt.new only leads on developers, where letting the generated output be self-hosted and a bring-your-own Supabase backend outweighed Base44's built-in database. Self-hosting ended in a tie since neither publishes the deciding facts there.

2. Lovable

Head-to-head, Lovable takes beginners, internal tools and mobile apps from Bolt.new and matches it for self-hosted and ui design.

Before switching, weigh what stays behind - Bolt.new vs Lovable: adds figma / screenshot import.

Why teams switch: Ops and IT teams building internal dashboards need a real backend with role-gated auth built in. Lovable ships Lovable Cloud, a managed Postgres backend, and includes built-in auth, so teams can add sign-in and permissions without wiring up a separate service. Bolt.new instead expects you to bring your own Supabase backend and does not include built-in auth, adding setup work before you can gate access by role. Both tools limit single sign-on to their Enterprise plan and both support real-time collaboration, so those do not separate them. For a team that wants a working internal tool with access control out of the box, the managed backend with built-in auth matters most here. Internal Tools verdict →

Overall verdict: Lovable takes the wider record, leading in beginners, internal tools, and mobile apps, against Bolt.new's edge in developers and free plans, with self-hosting and UI design tied. For beginners, Lovable's element-level editing lets someone click and fix what the AI got wrong, something Bolt.new does not publish. For internal tools, Lovable ships a managed Lovable Cloud backend with built-in authentication, while Bolt.new requires bringing your own Supabase and has no built-in auth. For mobile apps, Lovable publishes a progressive web app output, while Bolt.new states no mobile output at all. Bolt.new answers back with a larger free tier and full control over a bring-your-own Supabase backend for developers, but Lovable's broader use case coverage decides the overall matchup.

3. Replit

Our use-case verdicts have Replit ahead of Bolt.new for internal tools and mobile apps and matches it for beginners, self-hosted and ui design.

Why teams switch: An ops team building an internal dashboard wants a real data backend and gated auth without extra setup, and Replit leads on both. Its backend model is a built-in managed PostgreSQL database ready out of the box, while Bolt.new relies on bringing your own Supabase project, an extra service to provision before the data layer exists. Replit also ships auth built in, while Bolt.new does not build auth in at all. Single sign-on is restricted to an Enterprise plan on both tools, so that is a wash, and both support multiplayer collaboration. With the built-in database and native auth both landing in Replit's favor, and nothing on Bolt.new's side to offset them for this crowd, Replit is the stronger pick for internal tooling. Internal Tools verdict →

Overall verdict: This one splits by what a team values. Bolt.new fits developers and cost-conscious testers: it wires in an external Supabase backend you own outside the platform, and its free plan states a firm cap of 300,000 tokens per day and 1,000,000 tokens per month, clearer than Replit's daily allowance that resets without a published number. Replit fits ops teams and mobile-facing builders: it ships a built-in managed database with auth built in, and it is the only one of the two with any mobile output, a progressive web app. Beginners, self-hosting, and UI design come out even between them.

4. v0

In our published verdicts, v0 beats Bolt.new for internal tools and ui design and matches it for mobile apps and self-hosted.

The reverse angle matters too - Bolt.new vs v0: no public api.

Why teams switch: v0 documents Vercel Marketplace integrations, including a Neon database connection, giving an ops team a named path to reach the systems the business already runs on. Bolt.new does not publish a comparable integrations story, only that its backend is a bring-your-own Supabase setup with native auth wiring. Single sign-on also opens up sooner on v0, available on its Team plan as well as Enterprise, while Bolt.new restricts SSO to Enterprise only. Neither tool builds authentication in by default, so that stays even. Both support multiplayer collaboration. With a documented integrations path and earlier SSO access, v0 fits internal-tools buyers better here. Internal Tools verdict →

5. bolt.diy

In our published verdicts, bolt.diy beats Bolt.new for mobile apps and self-hosted.

The reverse angle matters too - Bolt.new vs bolt.diy: adds figma / screenshot import.

Why teams switch: For builders targeting a phone rather than a browser tab, bolt.diy is the only one of the two with a documented mobile output path: a native Expo App Creation feature plus an Electron desktop app option. Bolt.new's stack is described as full-stack JS/TS web projects, with no native mobile output on record. Both let you self-host the generated output and both run in an autonomous agent mode, and both document a bring-your-own Supabase backend, but those only matter once the core output format is right, and only bolt.diy actually produces native mobile apps rather than a web app. Mobile Apps verdict →

6. Floot

In our published verdicts, Floot beats Bolt.new for mobile apps and matches it for self-hosted.

The reverse angle matters too - Bolt.new vs Floot: adds figma / screenshot import.

Why teams switch: For builders targeting a phone, Floot is the only one of the two with a documented native mobile output. Bolt.new's output stack is described as full-stack JS/TS web projects, with no mobile output fact on record, so it is built for the browser, not the app store. Both self-host the generated output and both run an autonomous build agent, and both document a backend, Bolt.new through a bring-your-own Supabase integration and Floot on a built-in proprietary stack, but neither of those secondary points closes the gap once one tool simply does not produce native mobile apps.
