Who should pick which

Pick Lovable for non-developers and founders prototyping web apps fast (free plan: 5 build credits/day (up to 30/month) plus 20 Cloud credits/month); think twice if you need predictable flat costs for heavy iteration. Pick Bolt.new for quick full-stack prototypes and small business apps (Pro: $25/month); think twice if you'll burn through tokens on large projects without budget for upgrades. Pick v0 for generating React/Next.js UI and deploying to Vercel (Business: $100/user/month). Watch out: usage is credit-based. Pick Replit for founders and builders who want an agent to build and host an app without local setup (Core: $20/month ($18 annual)); think twice if you want to work in your own local repo and editor. Pick Base44 for building full apps from a prompt (Paid tier: $40/month billed annually). Watch out: credits cap AI messages and integration actions. Pick Webflow for designer-grade marketing sites (Basic: $15/month billed yearly). Watch out: site and workspace plans are billed separately. Pick Framer for designing and publishing websites visually (Basic: $10/month (yearly)). Watch out: free sites use a Framer domain.
