The honest brief

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

v0

Emits real shadcn/ui + Tailwind React code you can paste into a project — production primitives, not throwaway mockup markup.

  • Uses production shadcn/ui primitives
  • Copy-paste into existing projects
  • Tight Vercel deploy integration
  • Fast iteration in v0 projects
  • Opinionated toward shadcn/Tailwind
  • Single tuned model, not configurable
  • Best within the Vercel ecosystem
  • Complex apps need hand-finishing
