Which one is for you
Pick Bolt if
- Fits if you want to prototype a web app from a prompt with nothing to install
- Works for people who switch between prompting and editing the code themselves
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, at 300K tokens a day and 1M a month, with bigger projects spending more per message
- Watch out: free sites carry a Made in Bolt badge and go offline for the month past 10 GB or 333,333 requests
- Skip it if you want a desktop or phone app to build in, as Bolt lives in the browser
- Pricey if you're a team, since Teams is $30 a member and tokens aren't shared between you
- Not for you if you need custom domains or Supabase databases for free, as both need a paid plan
Pick Vitara if
- Fits if you want to start from a ready-made template such as a CRM or HR app
- Works for people who want to try a React Native app before paying
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan to build on, as the credits are a one-time grant
- Tight if you are watching credits: Build is 100 a month and each change draws on them
- Pricey if you need Premium templates or team collaboration, both on Scale at $50 a month
- Watch out: the home page and the pricing page disagree on the free credits, 10 against 20
How we grade them
| 2.6GPABoltGood | 2.0GPAVitaraFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPro is $25 a month, or $216 for the year, which works out at $18. That's mid-table for builders here, where the middle is $19 and the dearest quarter starts at $25. You get 10M tokens a month with no daily cap, rollover and custom domains. Teams is $30 a member, and those tokens aren't pooled. | CBuild is $20 a month for 100 credits, the middle of the category. Scale is $50 for 250 credits, and the better templates sit on the dearer plans. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree for good: 300K tokens a day, 1M a month, private projects, databases and hosting. The caps bite. Bigger projects spend more tokens per message, your site wears a Made in Bolt badge, and it goes dark for the rest of the month past 333,333 requests. | CStarter is a one-time grant with no card needed, but the pricing page says 20 credits at 5 a day while the home page says 10. It is a taste, not a plan you can stay on. |
| Features | BIt covers the whole job. Chat builds a full-stack project and Plan Mode talks the approach through first; Bolt Cloud brings hosting, databases, login and domains; Code view edits files without spending tokens; and you can start from a Figma frame or ship phone apps through Expo. Replit does the same, so no A. | CChat-built apps with a database and API, plus a template library. Mobile apps are only previewed in Expo Go, and visual edits and code download are paid. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record, but there's nothing to install and nothing to set up: open a browser tab, type a prompt and it builds. Code view is there if you want it. Supabase databases do need a paid plan. | CA browser app where you build by chatting. No store rating on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with no desktop or phone app to build in. It connects to Supabase, Stripe, GitHub, Figma, Netlify and Google Stitch, and to Expo for shipping iOS and Android apps. | CBrowser only. Its listing names Expo Go, React Native, Node.js and Python and not much else. |
| Best for | building in a browser tab with the code in view | trying an app idea from a template and a chat |

Worth knowing
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.
Vitara
- The free Starter allowance is a one-time grant, and the homepage (10 credits) and the pricing page (20 credits, 5 a day) disagree on its size.
- Standard templates need the Build plan and Premium templates need Scale.
- Visual edits, code download and a custom domain are not on the free plan; team collaboration is listed only on Scale.
- Browser-based only; mobile apps are previewed through Expo Go rather than a Vitara mobile app.
Key features
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.
Vitara
- Templates as a starting point
- Complete starter apps with screens, backend, database and login, such as CRM, job portal, billing, HRMS, appointment booking and event ticketing.
- Chat-driven changes
- Each message updates the screens, API and database together, in plain language.
- Fullstack, frontend or mobile
- Choose a fullstack build with a Node.js or Python backend, a React frontend, or a React Native mobile app, previewed on a phone with Expo Go.
- Economy mode
- A switch that builds changes with a smaller, lower-cost model so each message uses fewer credits.
- Code download and ownership
- The vendor says you own your code and data; code download is a Build-plan feature and the app can be deployed elsewhere.
- Team collaboration
- Inviting teammates to build together is listed under the Scale plan.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
