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:
- Generate a responsive pricing page from a written description
- Build a dashboard with a chart that reads from sample JSON
- Turn a screenshot of a UI into a working component
- Iterate three times on layout feedback and check consistency
- Deploy the result and confirm what code you can export
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 deploy on Vercel and build with React or Next.js: v0.
- Choose if you want the lowest paid entry with an annual discount: Bolt.new Pro at $18/mo annually.
- Choose if you want a full-stack sandbox in the browser: Bolt.new.
- Choose if you are buying for a team: compare Bolt.new Teams at $30/member with v0 Business at $100/user.
In short: pick v0 for React and Vercel-centred UI work; pick Bolt.new for a cheaper, broader full-stack sandbox. 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.
