Bolt.new and Gappsy both turn a text prompt into a working app, but they produce different things. Bolt.new generates a full-stack code project that runs in…

What the AI produces
Bolt.new: Generates a complete, runnable full-stack code project from a prompt and runs Node.js, the package manager and the build process in the browser through WebContainers. Projects can be exported to GitHub.
Gappsy: Builds pages, texts, photos, design and features from Gappsy's own feature blocks. There is no generated codebase to export or edit.
Exportable code allows continued development and custom logic outside the builder, while a block-based app avoids handling code but limits customization to what the blocks support.
How usage is priced
Bolt.new: Usage-based on AI tokens: Free includes 1M tokens a month with a 300K daily cap, Pro starts at 10M tokens a month with rollover. Token costs can be hard to predict for larger projects, since heavier development uses up the monthly allowance faster.
Gappsy: Plans cap visitors and typed AI changes (10, 50 or 300 a month), while tap-editing is unlimited on every plan. Gappsy also takes a payment fee of 5% on Free, 1% on Pro and 0% on Business, on top of Stripe's fees. Extra AI changes cost $5 per 100.
Token-based billing scales with how much building is done, while Gappsy's costs scale with traffic, AI edits and payment volume, which affects budgeting differently.
Built-in business features
Bolt.new: Offers Stripe support for adding payments and a Supabase integration for database, auth and backend functionality. Bookings, memberships, gift cards or loyalty features are not documented as built-in.
Gappsy: Includes ordering and an online shop, bookings for appointments, tables and classes, memberships with recurring billing, gift cards, events and tickets, forms with signatures, courses, job boards and an AI assistant on the owner's own OpenAI or Anthropic key.
Ready-made business blocks reduce build time for common local-business needs, while a code-based approach requires generating and refining those features.
Mobile app and customer reach
Bolt.new: Deploys generated web apps through Netlify or Cloudflare integrations. Installable home-screen apps, push notifications and App Store or Google Play packaging are not documented.
Gappsy: Apps install to iPhone and Android home screens with the owner's icon, send push notifications on every plan and can issue Apple and Google Wallet loyalty cards. Pro and Business generate an Android package and an iOS Xcode project for publishing with the owner's own developer accounts, or a $600 done-for-you service is available.
Home-screen installs, push messages and store listings help businesses reach repeat customers on their phones.
Teams and enterprise controls
Bolt.new: Teams costs $30 per member per month with centralized billing, team-level access management, admin controls, user provisioning and private NPM registries. Enterprise adds SSO, audit logs, compliance support, data governance and 24/7 priority support.
Gappsy: Business ($55/month billed yearly or $79 monthly) covers 5 apps, 150,000 visitors a month and priority support. Per-seat team workspaces, SSO and audit logs are not documented.
Larger organizations often require seat management, SSO and audit logs before adopting a tool.
Selling what is built
Bolt.new: Selling access to a generated app or listing it in a directory is not documented; payments can be added through Stripe support.
Gappsy: Lets others sign up and pay monthly for access to software built on Gappsy, offers ready-made software for 50+ categories with the owner's name and logo, and allows listing the product on Gappsy's directory of more than 7,000 software profiles.
A built-in path to subscriptions and discovery can turn a build into a small software business without separate billing or marketing setup.

At list price the entry paid plans are close: Bolt.new Pro is $25/month or $216/year ($18/month) on the entry annual plan, while Gappsy Pro is $29 billed monthly or $19/month billed yearly ($228/year). Total cost differs by usage, since Bolt.new bills by tokens, so heavier development uses up the monthly allowance faster, while Gappsy charges a 1% payment fee on Pro (0% on Business) and $5 per 100 extra AI changes.
Bolt.new has a documented Teams plan at $30 per member per month with centralized billing, team-level access management and admin controls. Gappsy's Business plan covers 5 apps with priority support, but per-seat team workspaces are not documented. Teams that need shared seats and admin controls will find more documented options on Bolt.new.
No. Gappsy builds apps from its own feature blocks and does not produce a codebase to export or edit. Bolt.new generates a full-stack project that can be exported to GitHub.
Gappsy is built for that case, with bookings, ordering, memberships, gift cards, push notifications and Apple and Google Wallet loyalty cards included, and payments going into the owner's Stripe account. Bolt.new can generate custom web apps with Stripe support, but these business features are not documented as built-in, so more building and refinement would be needed.
Gappsy Pro and Business generate an Android package and an iOS Xcode project and guide publishing with the owner's own developer accounts ($99 a year to Apple, $25 once to Google, plus a Mac for iOS), or offer a $600 done-for-you service. App store publishing is not documented for Bolt.new, which deploys web apps through Netlify or Cloudflare.
Bolt.new Free includes 1M tokens a month with a 300K daily limit, hosting up to 333k web requests and unlimited databases, but no project export and Bolt branding on sites. Gappsy Free includes one live app with every feature, including payments and push, but limits it to 300 visitors and 10 typed AI changes a month, with a 5% payment fee, a Gappsy label and occasional ads. Bolt.new's free tier gives more room for building and traffic, while Gappsy's lets a business take payments from day one.
