Ferns vs Bolt
The best Bolt alternative for AI website building
Websites, not full-stack apps.
What is Bolt?
Bolt.new is an AI full-stack development tool by StackBlitz. Like Lovable and Replit, it's aimed at building web applications, not publishing websites.
Common Bolt frustrations
- Built for full-stack apps — overkill for websites
- Generates code you need to understand and deploy
- No built-in hosting or domain management
- Requires technical context to get good results
Why teams switch to Ferns
- Purpose-built for websites and landing pages
- One sentence → published site with hosting included
- Visual editing, lead collection, analytics — no code
- Custom domains and SEO built in on Pro
The verdict
Bolt builds apps from prompts. Ferns builds websites from prompts. Use the right tool for the job.
