Overskill alternatives: six AI app builders and their monthly prices

Overskill alternatives at a glance

Six Overskill alternatives are worth pricing: Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Base44, v0 (by Vercel) and Zite. Overskill Starter is $25 a month, billed monthly, for 2,500 credits, as read on October 18, 2026. Lovable Pro, Bolt Pro and Zite Pro also cost $25 a month on monthly billing, Replit Core and Base44 Starter cost $20, and v0 Plus costs $30 per user a month.

Every price in the table is billed monthly, so the rows compare like with like. The meters differ in kind: Bolt counts tokens, the small pieces of text its AI reads and writes, Base44 has two credit meters, and v0 bills per user.

Lovable, Bolt and Base44: start on a free plan

Lovable's free plan gives 5 daily build credits, up to 30 a month, and needs no credit card. Bolt's free plan gives 300K tokens a day and 1M a month. Base44's free plan gives 25 message credits and 100 integration credits a month, and up to 5 apps.

Each free plan leaves something out. Lovable's custom domains and built-in payments need a paid plan. Bolt's free sites stop serving content at their monthly data limit and show a Made in Bolt badge, and its custom domains are paid only. Base44's private apps are on paid plans only.

Replit and Base44: a lower entry price

Replit Core is $20 a month, billed monthly, and includes $20 towards more powerful models. Replit prices are subject to tax depending on your location.

Base44 Starter is $20 a month, billed monthly, with 100 message credits and 2,000 integration credits. A message credit is used when you chat with Base44's AI while building. An integration credit is used when the finished app uses a built-in service, such as sending an email.

Replit and Base44 open their pricing pages on yearly billing. On annual billing, Overskill Starter is $20.83 a month, billed annually ($250 a year), against $18 a month for Replit Core and $16 a month for Base44 Starter, both billed annually.

v0 and Zite: per-user billing and unlimited users

v0 Plus is $30 per user a month, monthly only, with $30 of included monthly credits per user. Business is $100 per user a month. v0's free plan has a 7 message a day limit, and new users get $5 in one-time credits. v0 says its prices are in US dollars and exclude taxes.

Zite Pro is $25 a month, billed monthly, or $20 a month, billed annually ($240 a year). It includes 100 credits a month, one custom domain and removal of Zite branding. Zite's free plan is labeled free forever, and Zite says users are unlimited on every plan.

When Overskill is still the better fit

Overskill fits a client portal, booking app or similar tool kept running on a fixed credit allowance. Hosting, page views, sign-ins and reading and writing app data cost zero credits, per Overskill's help center, while email, text messages and some integrations draw credits. Its join page names booking apps and client portals as examples, and any plan can export a ZIP of the app's code and data.

Unlike the six builders on this list, Overskill has no free plan, only 500 starting credits. Five of the six show a free plan on their pricing pages, and Replit documents one.

• Lovable, Bolt or Base44: a free plan before paying anyone.
• Replit Core or Base44 Starter: a $20 entry plan billed monthly.
• v0 Plus: billing per user. Zite Pro: unlimited users on every plan.
• Overskill Starter: hosting and sign-ins at zero credits on a fixed allowance.
