Bolt.new
the developer's pick — real exportable code, flexible stack
the strongest ownership story with the most flexible output: it runs a real node toolchain in the browser, exports full code, syncs to github, and ships to netlify or vercel. token burn on big projects is the catch.
bolt.new, from stackblitz, runs a real node toolchain in-browser via webcontainers, so the apps it builds use a flexible stack — commonly react/vite/next with supabase — rather than one fixed template. ownership is excellent: download the full codebase, two-way github sync, and one-click publish to netlify, vercel or render with your own keys. if leaving with real code matters most, it's the pick.
the recurring complaint is cost: because tokens scale with codebase size rather than message count, a growing project gets expensive fast, and the free tier's daily cap is tight. but for a developer who wants a running app and the freedom to take it anywhere, bolt is hard to beat.
