AI Website Builder Comparison: v0 vs Bolt vs Lovable & more

This is a transparent lookup and rule-based recommender, not an opinion poll or an affiliate chart. Each of the 8builders is stored as a typed record — its type (prompt-to-code or no-code), free tier and its limit, the cheapest paid starting price in USD, the output framework, and boolean flags for code export, custom domain, hosting and a built-in store. Every figure is cited inline to the vendor's own pricing page and was verified on July 8, 2026.

When you set the filters, the recommender runs deterministic steps in order:

1. Type filter.A builder survives only if it matches the type you chose, or if you left it on “Any”. Prompt-to-code keeps v0, Bolt.new and Lovable; no-code keeps Framer, Durable, Wix, Hostinger and 10Web.
2. Capability requirements. Each toggle you switch on — code export, custom domain, online store — must be a real capability of the builder, or it is dropped. Turning on all three, for example, leaves no builder, because none pairs raw code export with a turnkey store.
3. Budget gate.Your rupee budget is compared against each builder's effectivemonthly cost. Because free tiers never include a custom domain, needing one forces the cheapest paid plan; if you don't need a domain, a builder with a free tier costs nothing to start. The list price is converted at a fixed reference rate of ≈ Rs 305 per $1 — a single labelled constant, not a live feed. The comparison is inclusive: a plan costing exactly your budget still passes.
4. Rank the survivors. Sorted by the cheapest effective cost ascending, then by whether a free tier exists, then by the paid starting price, then alphabetically — a total order, so identical filters always return the same picks. A second, independent scoring pass re-derives the same ranking as a built-in cross-check.

The full table below always shows every builder regardless of your filters, greying out the ones that don't match so the page stays crawlable and you can see what you excluded. Prices are shown in US dollars because every vendor bills in USD; from a Sri Lankan card add a foreign-transaction fee and use the currency converter for the day's rate.
