Bolt.new vs FlutterFlow: which should you use?
Bolt.new costs $25/mo and FlutterFlow $39/mo. Bolt.new builds native mobile apps; FlutterFlow does too. Bolt.new is best for semi-technical builders wanting web and mobile from one tool. FlutterFlow is best for people willing to learn a proper tool in exchange for control.
The deciding difference
The deciding difference is publishing. Bolt.new: manual (EAS CLI). FlutterFlow: one-click. For a non-technical builder this decides more outcomes than output quality does — it is the step where projects get abandoned after a month has been paid for.
