Home / Compare builders / Bolt vs v0
Bolt suits you if you want to build in one browser tab with nothing to install, and let Bolt Cloud handle the database, sign-in and hosting. v0 suits you if you build in Next.js and host on Vercel already, with your code on GitHub and changes merged through pull requests. Both download a ZIP; of the two, only v0's pages say it signs anything: the commits it pushes to GitHub.

SPOE vs Bolt · SPOE vs v0 · How to export from Bolt · How to export from v0
Bolt: A ZIP of the project files, at any time. Your code on GitHub: Two-way: it commits each working change and pulls changes from GitHub every 30 seconds. v0: A ZIP from the project menu. Your code on GitHub: Sync on the free plan, with deploys to Vercel. SPOE: A ZIP, unlocked for good by your first payment of any size. Your code on GitHub: Two-way: every version is a commit, and commits in the repo come back in.
Bolt: The download runs on your computer with npm install && npm run dev. Its pages do not say whether an app on Bolt Database keeps working after you leave. v0: You can export the code and deploy it elsewhere, its FAQ says. Env vars, deploys and previews come with a Vercel project. SPOE: docker compose up, with nothing of SPOE inside.
Bolt: None on their pages. v0: It signs the commits it pushes to GitHub, since June 2026. SPOE: An Ed25519-signed provenance manifest in every export, a record of it on APIR's hash-chained log, and a check anyone can run at spoe.ai/verify.
Bolt: May train AI models on your projects and chats unless you turn the setting off; it is off by default only in the EU, UK and Switzerland. v0: May use your prompts and content for training unless you opt out in your Vercel team's data preferences. Enterprise content is not used. SPOE: The default models keep no copy. Chats, bots and images stay on your device.
Bolt: 1 million tokens a month, at most 300,000 a day. v0: 7 messages a day, and $5 of credits once for new users. SPOE: One free build on the default models once your email address is proven (by Google or GitHub, or where email sign-up is open, a code we email you). No card. Then any first payment opens every model and export, for good.
