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

Stunning

Worth a look only if you are shipping to Gulf or North African customers and need Tap, Fawry or Tabby working on day one. On raw build quality and ecosystem, Lovable and v0 are further along, and Stunning's own marketing does it no favours.

Pros

Local payment and BNPL gateways are first-class, which no Western prompt-to-app tool bothers with
Full right-to-left and Arabic UI rather than a machine translation layer
Free tier lets you publish something before paying

Cons

Site is built on an off-the-shelf admin template; a theme-switcher panel and template scaffolding leak into production pages
Homepage runs a ByteDance/Google/Microsoft logo wall with nothing behind it, which undercuts trust
Pricing never renders on the pricing page (it sits at "Loading billing information..."), so cost is unknown before signup
No API and no visible export path off the platform
