Bolt.new vs Sketchflow.ai

Two fact sheets from our own research, side by side — pricing, platforms, API access and status re-checked by us rather than quoted from the vendors.

The short answer

Entry price: The same for both — $25/mo
Free plan: Both have one
Higher Trust score: Bolt.new — 85 vs 64 for Sketchflow.ai
Best fit: Bolt.new: Founders and designers who want a clickable prototype or landing page the same afternoon · Sketchflow.ai: teams wanting native iOS/Android/web code from one prompt instead of three separate builds
Status: Both up at our last check — Bolt.new Sep 6, 2026, Sketchflow.ai Sep 1, 2026

From our own records as of each tool's last check. Anything we have not confirmed is left out rather than guessed. How we verify

What our research says

Bolt.new

Bolt is the quickest way to get from a sentence to a running web app you can click, and Bolt Cloud now removes the usual 'where does this deploy' problem for small projects. Treat the token meter as the real price: a complex app burns through the entry allowance fast, and the free tier is for trying the product, not shipping from it.

Pros

Whole toolchain runs in the browser, so there is no environment to set up or keep alive
Starts from a prompt, Figma design, GitHub repo or template, and exports back to GitHub
Bolt Cloud bundles hosting, databases and auth, which most prompt-to-app tools leave to you
Unused Pro tokens roll over, unlike most rivals' monthly allowances

Cons

Token-based pricing is hard to forecast; one long debugging session can eat days of allowance
Free tier is throttled daily (300K tokens) and carries Bolt branding
Yearly discount is advertised without the actual yearly prices on the page
No public API found, so Bolt cannot be driven from a script or CI

Sketchflow.ai

Sketchflow's pitch — one prompt to matching native iOS, Android, and web code, not just a web prototype — is a real differentiator from most vibe-coding tools that only target the browser. The company itself is invisible on its own site, and even its pricing numbers could not be confirmed directly after several attempts, so treat the specifics here as secondhand.

Pros

Generates iOS, Android, and web versions together from a single prompt
Accepts a reference image/design to redesign into code, not just blank prompts
Native code export (Swift/Kotlin/React) rather than a locked-in hosted format
Template library to start from instead of a blank prompt

Cons

No company name, founders, or country disclosed on the site
Pricing could not be confirmed directly from the vendor's own pages across multiple attempts — figures here are secondhand
Credit-based pricing means cost scales with usage in a way that's hard to predict upfront

Which one fits

Choose Bolt.new if you need

Founders and designers who want a clickable prototype or landing page the same afternoon
Developers scaffolding a front end or internal tool before taking it into their own editor
Teams turning a Figma mock into a working front end without hand-coding the first pass

Choose Sketchflow.ai if you need

teams wanting native iOS/Android/web code from one prompt instead of three separate builds
starting from an existing design or screenshot rather than a blank prompt
developers who want exportable code rather than a hosted-only app
