Bolt vs Zoer (2026): which should you pick?

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 Zoer if

• Fits if you want a database, logins and Stripe set up from one description
• Works for people who will pay a few dollars a month to try it, as there is no free tier

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to try it free first, as the pricing page lists neither a free plan nor a trial
• Tight if you build a lot: Starter is 300 credits a month and complex changes use more
• Pricey if you want a custom domain, which needs Pro at $30 a month
• Watch out: yearly billing is half price for the first year only, then it renews at $96, $288 or $960
• Watch out: Starter caps you at 30 apps, and the pricing page we read showed no plan prices in its text

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.

Zoer

• No free plan or trial is listed on the pricing page; the cheapest option is Starter at $10 a month.
• Yearly billing is advertised at 50% off for the first year only and renews at the lower-priced yearly rate ($96, $288 or $960 a year).
• Credits are used up by building and changing apps, and complex changes use more than simple ones.
• A custom domain needs Pro or Max, and the apps cap is 30 on Starter.

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.

Zoer

Full-stack apps from a prompt

Describe an app and Zoer builds the interface, backend logic, database and user management, with an Enhance Prompt step before the build.

Managed database

A built-in managed PostgreSQL database with no setup; enabling authentication turns the database on automatically.

Authentication and Stripe

Docs cover adding Google sign-in, role management and Stripe payment configuration to a generated app.

Publish and export

Publish to the web, add a custom domain on Pro and above, and export the code to host elsewhere.

Public or private apps

Public apps can be featured in the Zoer community gallery; private apps stay out of it.

In-app AI assistant

Zoer can add a chatbot to a generated app that answers questions and performs tasks in that app's context.
