Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Bolt.new
- The free plan is capped at 300K tokens a day and 1M tokens a month
- Pro starts at 10M tokens a month for $25, so heavy sessions are metered rather than unlimited
- Team seats are billed at $30 per member per month and tokens are not pooled across the team
- Unused tokens roll over for one additional month only, so they expire after two
Strikingly
- Strikingly is optimized for single-page sites and is not well suited to building large, multi-section websites.
- Transaction fees of 2-5% apply to store sales on lower-tier plans in addition to payment processor fees.
- Design customization is limited compared to code-based site builders, since sites are built from fixed templates.
- The free plan does not support a custom domain, limiting its use for professional or commercial sites.
