About

This site is made by one indie maker who got tired of the same question: what is this actually going to cost? Every AI builder quotes a monthly price and then bills in something else — credits, tokens, checkpoints — and none of the pricing pages tell you how many of those a working app takes.

So this does. It prices apps in each platform’s own units, charges you honestly for the rounds it takes to get things right, and shows its math. Three decisions follow from that:

• Each tool’s own units. Lovable credits stay credits — prepaid units of work you get each month. Bolt tokens stay tokens — the chunks of text the AI reads and writes. Replit and v0 stay in dollars. Converting everything to a single made-up score would look tidier and tell you less.
• An honest iteration tax. Nobody one-shots an app. Estimates that assume you will are marketing, so every receipt here multiplies by how you actually prompt and adds a debug surcharge on top.
• Visible math. The formula, the sources, the dates and the ranges are all published. If you think a number is wrong, you can see exactly which number to argue with.

There is no team, no funding round and no history to embellish. There is a data file, one shared calculation, and a changelog for when platforms move the goalposts. Read the methodology →
