rwaft vs Lovable, Bolt and v0
Four ways to turn a description into an app. They differ in what they build, what you see while they work and how you pay, and each is the right pick for someone. Here is all of it in one table.
Checked against each product's own site on . Plans change often, so check Lovable's pricing, Bolt's pricing and v0's pricing before you choose.
| rwaft | Lovable | Bolt | v0 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What it makes | Websites, front-end web apps, tools and browser games | Web apps, including full-stack apps with accounts and data | Web apps and mobile apps, front end and back end | Web apps and interfaces on Next.js, front end and back end |
| Code it writes | React and TypeScript on Vite, Tailwind CSS, and React Router for more than one page | React on Vite with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui | Many JavaScript frameworks, React among them | Next.js and React, with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui |
| Databases and sign-in | None: apps run in the browser and can only save data there | Yes, through Lovable Cloud | Yes, with built-in databases | Yes, through Vercel and its integrations |
| While it builds | Each step in plain words as it happens, with the raw install and build log one tap away | A chat beside a live preview, with the code to view and edit | A full development environment in the browser: code editor, terminal and preview | A chat beside a live preview, with the code and a visual design mode |
| How you pay | 2 free credits on sign-up, then one-off credit packs with no subscription. Every chat costs 1 credit, however big the change, and a failed build is refunded. | A free tier with daily credits, then monthly plans. In its default mode a message's credit cost depends on how complex the task is | A free tier with a monthly token allowance, then monthly plans metered in tokens, so bigger projects use more per message | A free tier with a daily message limit, then monthly plans with included credits and usage metered in tokens |
| Hosting and domains | Included, at the site's own rwaft.live link. No custom domains yet, and every site is public | Included, with custom domains on paid plans | Included, with custom domains on paid plans | Deploys to Vercel, with custom domains there |
| Getting the code | Push it to a new GitHub repository. Also deploys public Vite and Create React App repos | Two-way GitHub sync and a code editor | A code editor in the browser, plus export | GitHub sync and a code editor |
One on one
rwaft vs Lovable
Both turn a description into a working React app. Lovable goes further into full-stack apps; rwaft keeps to websites and front-end apps, charges a flat price per chat with no subscription, and shows you the real build.
rwaft vs Bolt
Bolt puts a full development environment in your browser and builds across many frameworks. rwaft is narrower on purpose: plain words in, a live website out, a flat price per chat, and every build step explained as it happens.
rwaft vs v0
v0 is Vercel's builder for Next.js apps, made to ship into the Vercel platform. rwaft is for people who don't want a platform at all: describe a site, watch the real build, get a link, at a flat price per chat.
When rwaft is the better pick
- You want a website or a front-end app with a live link, and no tools to learn
- You'd rather pay per build than per month: credit packs, no subscription, and you know what a chat costs before you send it
- You want to watch the real build, and see the fixes it makes when something breaks
- You want failed builds refunded automatically, and 2 free chats to try it
- You have a Vite or Create React App repository you just want hosted
And when it isn't: if your app needs accounts, a database, payments or a custom domain, Lovable, Bolt and v0 all go further than rwaft does today.
