Bolt.new vs YouWare

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

Cheaper paid plan: YouWare — $20/mo vs $25/mo for Bolt.new
Free plan: Both have one
Higher Trust score: YouWare — 92 vs 85 for Bolt.new
Best fit: Bolt.new: Founders and designers who want a clickable prototype or landing page the same afternoon · YouWare: Non-developers shipping a landing page, internal tool or small app from a description
Platforms: Bolt.new: Web · YouWare: Web, iOS, Android

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

YouWare

Pick it if the community gallery matters to you, because opening and reworking someone else's finished build is genuinely faster than starting from an empty prompt. For work an engineering team will inherit, the export and ecosystem story lags Lovable and Bolt.

Pros

YouBase gives generated projects a backend without wiring a separate database
Public gallery of over a million projects is a real head start compared with a blank editor
Native iOS and Android apps, which most rivals in this category do not ship
Pro at $20/month matches the going rate and includes code download

Cons

Free plan is trial credits and 5 projects, enough to look around but not to build
Credits rather than time are the true limit, and complex prompts consume them quickly
No published developer API
Pro to Ultra is a tenfold jump ($20 to $200) with no tier in between
