The verdict

bolt.new wins, 6.6 to 4.2

Replit's Core plan costs $20 a month, less than Bolt.new's $25 Pro plan, and both can publish native apps to the App Store and Google Play. Neither offers a public API for the builder itself. Bolt.new supports HIPAA through an Enterprise BYOK deployment mode; Replit states no HIPAA support and offers no self-hosted or on-prem deployment beyond a choice of Replit-managed regions. Neither tool holds ISO 27001 certification.

Pick bolt.new if you need HIPAA support or your own cloud deployment.

Pick Replit if you want the cheaper plan and don't need HIPAA support.
