The Verdict
Bolt.new is built for non developers and prototypers, with a focus on full-stack-generation and browser-runtime. Devin targets engineering teams and enterprise developers and leads with autonomous-coding and planning.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($20/mo for Bolt.new, $20/mo for Devin), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Bolt.new has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. Devin requires a paid subscription from day one.
Bottom line: Bolt.new has a slight overall edge — but if truly autonomous (handles multi-step engineering tasks) matters most to you, Devin may still be the right call.
