Bolt vs Softgen

Bolt

• Prototyping a web app or site from a prompt without a local setup
• Developers who want to switch between prompting and editing code
• Marketers and founders who need hosting and a custom domain in one place

Softgen

• Founders who want an MVP as a standard Next.js codebase in their own GitHub
• Builders who want to pick the AI model per task
• Teams on Pro, where collaborators join without extra seat fees

Bolt

• The free plan stops at 300K tokens a day and 1M a month, and larger projects use more tokens per message.
• Custom domains and Supabase databases need a paid plan, and free sites show a Made in Bolt badge.
• Free sites go offline for the rest of the month once they pass 10 GB of bandwidth or 333,333 requests.
• On Teams, tokens are allotted to each paid member and are not shared across the team.

Softgen

• The free trial is a one-time grant of 75 credits, and GitHub export and publishing need the Starter plan.
• Starter is limited to 10 projects and two AI models; unlimited projects and 12+ models need Pro.
• Custom domains, collaborators, Supabase backups and credit rollover are Pro features.
• It builds web apps only, as Next.js projects, and the pricing page shows monthly billing with no annual option.

Bolt

Prompt-to-app building

Describe an idea in chat and Bolt generates a full-stack project using JavaScript-based web frameworks. Plan Mode lets you discuss an approach before any code is written.

Bolt Cloud

Hosting, databases, user authentication and domains are built into each project. Paid plans raise the hosting allowance to 30 GB of bandwidth and 1 million requests a month.

Code view and GitHub

Project files can be read and edited directly in Code view, which uses no tokens, and a project can be connected to GitHub or started from an existing repository.

Design imports

Start a project from a Figma frame or a Google Stitch design, or add a design system so that generated screens follow existing components.

Mobile apps through Expo

Web apps are built natively in Bolt, while mobile apps for iOS and Android are built and shipped through its Expo integration.

Teams workspace

A shared workspace with centralized billing, member and integration controls, team prompts and private NPM registry support, priced per member.

Softgen

Prompt-to-app on Next.js

A plain-English description produces a full-stack web app on Next.js. Softgen asks follow-up questions and writes a development plan before it builds.

Choice of AI models

Starter offers GPT-5.1 and Gemini 3.1 Pro. Pro opens more than 12 models, including Claude 4.5 and GPT-5.4.

Managed Supabase backend

A platform-managed Supabase database is included on both plans, with backups on Pro. A Supabase project of your own can be connected instead.

GitHub repository you own

Each project lives in a GitHub repo that can be opened in an editor such as Cursor or VS Code, and existing repos can be imported. GitHub export is on both paid plans.

Vercel deployment

Apps deploy to Vercel in one click, through Softgen's platform setup or your own Vercel account. Custom domains are listed on the Pro plan.

One-click integrations

Stripe payments and Resend email are part of the core stack, with one-click setup for analytics, ad pixels and support widgets such as PostHog, Meta Pixel and Intercom.
