Bolt.new vs Firebase Studio
Read from each vendor’s own pages last night, so it does not go stale the way a written comparison does.
Before you read on · Stalled
Bolt.new has shown no public momentum recently.
Reached roughly $40M ARR in five months, then published no comparable 2026 milestone while Lovable kept compounding. Recorded as stalled on public momentum, not as dead.

Firebase Studio has had an access tier withdrawn; check what is still available before choosing it.
firebase.studio carries a banner: "We're sunsetting Firebase Studio on March 22, 2027 so you can no longer create new workspaces. Move your code to Google AI Studio or Google Antigravity." Still usable until then, but it is not a tool to start a project on.
