Lovable vs Bolt: honest comparison with monthly costs
They are close. Both are chat builders with a free plan and a paid individual plan in the table. Choose Lovable if owning and downloading the code matters. Choose Bolt if token rollover and the StackBlitz editor underneath matter to you.
That verdict is Kritelo's judgement. The prices are not.
Bolt is built by StackBlitz. The individual paid plan and the Teams plan are both on Bolt's pricing page, and the figures are in the table. Lovable's smallest Pro credit tier is in their docs. Higher credit tiers cost more, so the table shows the tier we would actually start someone on.
Bolt's affiliate program is in dispute in secondary sources. We do not have a tracking link, and it would not change this page if we did.

Questions
If the subscription prices match, is the usage the same?
No. Lovable sells credits. Bolt sells tokens. The units are not comparable, so a matching subscription price is not a matching amount of work.
