    Frequently asked questions

    Is Appifex better than Bolt.new?

    For production apps, yes. Bolt.new excels at generating frontend demos quickly, but lacks databases, backends, authentication, and production deployment. Appifex generates complete full-stack applications that are deployed and running from the start.

    Does Bolt.new support mobile apps?

    No. Bolt.new only generates web applications. Appifex builds native iOS and Android apps using React Native and Expo, with App Store deployment pipelines included.

    Why do users switch from Bolt.new to Appifex?

    Users switch because Bolt.new creates impressive prototypes that can't ship to production without significant manual work. Appifex eliminates the deployment cliff by including databases, backends, auth, and hosting from the start.

    How does pricing compare between Bolt.new and Appifex?

    Appifex is free during early access with no credit card required. Bolt.new uses token-based pricing that users describe as unpredictable, with reports of spending thousands on single bug fixes.

    Can I deploy Bolt.new projects to production?

    Bolt.new projects require significant manual work to deploy — you need to set up hosting, databases, backends, and authentication yourself. Appifex handles all of this automatically.
