In this video, we’re comparing the pricing models of Bolt and Lovable, two popular AI-powered app builders.

Bolt Pricing:
Bolt charges based on tokens, with plans starting at $20/month for 10 million tokens. We’ll discuss how tokens are used, tips for saving tokens (e.g., enabling the diffs feature), and the ability to buy token reloads for flexibility.

Practical Comparisons:
Examples of apps built on each platform, including token/message consumption:
Bolt: An AI-powered to-do list (10M tokens) and typing app (3M tokens).
Lovable: A recipe generator app that used 80% of the 100-message allowance.
