Cheapest paid plan of each AI app builder, US$ per month: the data behind the chart, in chart order.
Tool$ / monthHow we got it
Base44 Starter$16–$20Starter: $16/mo billed annually, $20 month to month (base44.com/pricing, both toggles).
Replit Core$18–$20Core: $20 month to month, $18/mo billed annually (replit.com/pricing). Replit's docs list Core at $204/yr ($17/mo), so the annual figure conflicts.
Bolt Pro$18–$25Pro: $216/yr (= $18/mo) on bolt.new/pricing. $25 month to month is derived from the $300/yr list total the page shows; the monthly toggle didn't render for us.
Lovable Pro 100$21–$25Pro 100: $250/yr (≈$21/mo) or $25 month to month, both on lovable.dev/pricing and the plans docs.
v0 Plus$30Plus: $30 per user per month (v0.app/pricing and docs). No annual discount is listed, so low = high. Premium ($20) is closed to new users.

Credits aren't the same unit

  • Base44: credits: a small feature ≈1, app-wide ≈3–4
  • Replit: dollars: effort-based, Free Mode costs nothing
  • Bolt: tokens: cost per message grows with project size
  • Lovable: credits: a small edit ≈0.5, auth ≈1.2
  • v0: dollars: per-token model rates
