    Pricing methodology · Calculators

    Methodology label: desk research. We have not yet run a recorded hands-on test for this pair, so this page contains no scores, timings, or win rates. Instead, here are the concrete tasks we will use when we do test, and which you can run yourself on the free tiers or trials:

    1. Build a landing page with a signup form that stores emails
    2. Create a simple to-do app with login and per-user data
    3. Change the colour theme and layout of an existing generated app by prompt
    4. Fix a bug the builder introduced, using only follow-up prompts
    5. Export or deploy the app and check what code you can take with you

    For each task, note how long setup takes, how many retries you need, and whether the output is usable without manual fixes. Run the same input on both tools so the comparison is fair. We will update this section with real results once testing is complete.

    Which should you choose?

    • Choose if you are a solo builder who wants the cheapest annual price: Bolt.new Pro at $18/mo annually.
    • Choose if you will invite several collaborators: Lovable, since Pro and Business are billed per plan, not per seat.
    • Choose if you want a large monthly token allowance with rollover: Bolt.new Pro.
    • Choose if you need business features for a growing team: compare Lovable Business with Bolt.new Teams per member.

    In short: pick Bolt.new for token-metered solo building at a low annual price; pick Lovable when several people share one workspace. If you are unsure, start with whichever free tier or trial is available and run the tasks from the hands-on section on your own material before upgrading.
