Bolt.new vs Figma Make
Bolt.new scores 44 to Figma Make's 18 on public evidence for build an app from a prompt (vibe coding), and they rank #2 and #4 there. Only Bolt.new has a free tier. Numbers below are the same public signals the ranking uses, recomputed nightly — nothing here is sponsored.
Bolt.new
Browser-based app builder that runs a full Node.js environment via WebContainers.
+ Runs npm, dev servers, and builds entirely in the browser so nothing is installed.
− Token-metered pricing burns through the monthly allowance on larger projects.
Figma Make
Figma's prompt-to-app tool that turns designs or descriptions into working prototypes and code.
+ Starts from your existing Figma frames and design system, not a blank prompt.
− Output is prototype-grade and harder to hand off to a real codebase than v0.
