### Build0

### vs.

### Bolt

Bolt.new generates code you have to maintain. Build0 generates tools that just work. See why teams choose Build0 for secure, data-connected internal apps.

### Feature Comparison

| **Feature** | **Bolt** | **Build0** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What you get | A folder of Code (React/Node) | A Managed Application |
| Data Connection | Manual API coding required | One-click Secure Connectors |
| Hosting | You deploy (Netlify/Vercel) | Hosted & Managed by Build0 |
| Maintenance | You debug code & dependencies | Zero Maintenance |
| Security | You implement Auth logic | Built-in SSO & RBAC |
| Best For | Prototyping & Consumer Apps | Admin Panels & Workflows |

### Bolt.new gives you Code to maintain. Build0 gives you Tools to use.

**Bolt.new is an incredible AI coding environment for developers. Build0 is a dedicated platform for Operations teams who need secure, stable internal tools without managing a codebase.**

Bolt.new (by StackBlitz) is a powerful "Cloud IDE." It uses AI to write React and Node.js code for you. But once the AI finishes writing, **you** become the maintainer. If an API breaks or a package updates, you have to jump into the file tree and fix the code.

**Build0** takes a different approach. We don't give you a folder of files to host. We give you a **managed platform**.

You describe the tool you need, and we generate the interface and logic _on top of your existing data_. There is no Git repo to manage, no dependencies to update, and no deployment pipeline to configure.

### Why "Code Generation" isn't enough for Ops

##### 1\. The "Day 2" Problem

With Bolt.new, you get a great app on Day 1. But on Day 30, when a library is deprecated or a security patch is needed, **who fixes it?** If you aren't a developer, your tool creates "Technical Debt." Build0 is a managed platform. We handle the underlying infrastructure, security, and UI components. You just manage the business logic.

##### 2\. Connect vs. Create

Bolt.new is designed to scaffold _new_ projects from scratch. Connecting it to your production PostgreSQL database requires writing secure backend API routes manually. Build0 is **"Data-Native."** We have pre-built, secure connectors for Postgres, Snowflake, Stripe, and Salesforce. You don't write API glue code; you just grant permission.

##### 3\. Security is not a "Prompt"

Asking an AI to "add login" in Bolt.new gives you basic code that you are responsible for auditing. Build0 comes with **Enterprise SSO (SAML/OIDC) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)** built into the core platform. You can lock down specific rows and columns without writing a single line of auth code.

### Which builder are you?

##### Choose Bolt.new if:

✅ You are a developer who wants to speed up coding.

✅ You are building a consumer SaaS or a public website.

✅ You want full control over every line of CSS and React code.

✅ You are comfortable debugging `npm install` errors.

##### Choose Build0 if:

✅ You need to build an **Admin Panel** or **Dashboard** for your team.

✅ You need to read/write data from your **existing database**.

✅ You want to restrict access (e.g., "Sales can only see their own leads").

✅ You want a tool that works forever without "maintenance days."
