Bolt.newShips, with caveatsGenerates the Expo project; the build happens on your machine.
LovableNo mobile binarySuperb at web apps. Does not produce a mobile binary.On free tier, Bolt.new is $0 — 300K tokens daily limit and Lovable is $0 / month. On cheapest paid plan, Bolt.new is $25 per month billed monthly (Pro) and Lovable is $25 / month (Pro). On cheapest plan that reaches ios, Bolt.new does not publish it and Lovable does not publish it. On what the plan is metered in, Bolt.new is Tokens and Lovable is 100 monthly credits. StoreReady sells neither of these and takes no referral fee on either — it scores them. Every figure was read off the named company's own page on or since 2026-09-18; the URLs and the dates are at the foot of this page, and a job re-fetches each one on a schedule and fails when a figure is no longer on the page it came from.
The rows in brighter ink are the ones the two companies answer differently.
You are building the web product first and will decide about a store later. Bolt's free tier is the most generous starting point in this table — "300K tokens daily limit", "1M tokens per month", private projects and hosting at $0 — and Pro at $25 removes the daily cap entirely rather than raising it.
Free tier. $0 — 300K tokens daily limit
Also 1M tokens per month, public and private projects, hosting, Bolt branding on websites and a 10MB upload limit.
Cheapest paid plan. $25 per month billed monthly (Pro)
Teams is "$30 per month and member billed monthly". Yearly billing is advertised at up to 28% off.
Cheapest plan that reaches iOS. Not published
Nothing on Bolt's pricing page names iOS, the App Store or a mobile build. Every tier is described in websites, hosting and web requests — and the EAS build the last mile would need is billed separately by Expo.
What the plan is metered in. Tokens
300K daily and 1M monthly on Free. Pro has "No daily token limit" and starts at 10M tokens a month, with unused tokens rolling over.
The thing you are building belongs on the web and you would rather stop pretending otherwise. Lovable's free tier publishes to a real URL with unlimited collaborators and no card, and Pro at $25 / month adds custom domains, roles and per-member credit limits — which is a better answer for a web product than paying a mobile builder to wrap one.
Free tier. $0 / month
"No credit card needed", workspace-private projects, unlimited collaborators, 5 lovable.app domains.
Cheapest paid plan. $25 / month (Pro)
Business is $50 / month for the same 100 credits and adds governance rather than capacity.
Cheapest plan that reaches iOS. Not published
Lovable's pricing page names no iOS tier and no App Store deployment. Every plan is described in lovable.app domains, custom domains and publishing — which is consistent with StoreReady's own verdict on it: a web product, not a route to the store.
What the plan is metered in. 100 monthly credits
"Credit rollovers" and "On-demand credit top-ups" on Pro; the Free tier gets "Free grants" rather than a stated credit count.

Bolt.new vs Lovable — cheapest plan that reaches ios?
Bolt.new does not state it on bolt.new. Nothing on Bolt's pricing page names iOS, the App Store or a mobile build.
