Lovable vs Bolt vs Replit: Which AI App Builder for Freelancers?
All three build working apps from a prompt. They differ in how you pay for usage, how you get your code out, and where the app runs.
Prompt-to-app builders have become a real tool for freelancers on Fiverr and Upwork: you can get a client a working prototype in an afternoon. The three most common are Lovable, Bolt.new and Replit. Here is how they compare on the plans we sell.
Lovable Pro
Lovable Pro (Rs 25,650 for a year) starts at 100 credits a month plus daily build credits. It syncs to GitHub or GitLab, lets you download the source, supports custom domains and removes the Lovable badge. Good for polished front ends and quick client demos.
Bolt.new Pro
Bolt.new Pro (Rs 8,550 for a year) works on tokens: 10 million a month with no daily cap, and unused tokens roll over for one extra month. It includes hosting, custom domains and private projects. Good if you iterate a lot in one sitting.
Replit Core
Replit Core (Rs 19,950 for a year) is a full online IDE with Replit Agent on top. It includes up to 5 collaborators, background tasks and unlimited published apps. Usage beyond the monthly credits bills extra, so keep an eye on it for heavy projects.
Which to pick
- Mostly front-end sites and demos for clients: Lovable.
- Long build sessions and full-stack experiments: Bolt.
- Real apps you will keep running and edit by hand: Replit, or pair any of them with Cursor Pro once the project grows.
All three are coupons applied on your own account. Some of these checkouts ask for a card with nothing due; here is why.
