The honest brief

Base44

Generates the database, auth, and hosting for each app automatically, so non-coders ship working tools end-to-end without wiring a backend.

  • Full working apps from plain-English prompts
  • Free tier to start, no card required
  • Aimed squarely at non-developers
  • Credit usage can climb on complex apps
  • Less control than hand-coding
  • Opinionated, platform-managed stack

Bolt.new

Runs the whole Node stack in-browser via WebContainers, giving a real full-stack IDE no rival sandbox matches.

  • Full Node stack runs in the browser tab
  • Code-first with a real editable IDE
  • Generates frontend, backend, and deps
  • Good for modern JS framework projects
  • Token usage can burn fast on iteration
  • Less hand-holding than design-first builders
  • Backend/database wiring weaker than Lovable
