Standout
Bolt WebContainer technology — full Node.js dev environment in the browser tab, instant preview, no sandbox provisioning.
Lovable Speed from prompt to deployed-and-running full-stack app with auth + database, in roughly 10 minutes.
Known weakness
Bolt Browser-runtime constraints. Production deploys less polished than alternatives. Per-user team tokens create surprise costs.
Lovable Output is prototype-grade, not production-scale. Backend logic depth is shallow for complex apps.
