“One click deploys the app and wires up a database with authentication, so your prototype now has a security model and you have not read it.”

Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | bolt.diy | Claudable | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.0 | 7.0 | Claudable — Pick Claudable if you want prompt-to-app without a second subscription; pick Lovable when you would rather pay one bill and never see a terminal. |
| El Crítico | 5.5 | 6.0 | Claudable — The generated stack is fixed at one framework, one styling library, one component set, one host and one database, so leaving the happy path means leaving entirely. |
| El Profesor | 5.3 | 6.0 | Claudable — The coding itself is delegated to an external command-line agent, so this product's measurable contribution is the scaffold, the preview loop and the deployment wiring. |
| La Inversora | 4.0 | 6.5 | Claudable — 4,051 stars and no revenue, competing against funded builders whose entire business is the thing this gives away, with being free as the only differentiator. |
| La Jefa | 4.5 | 5.5 | Claudable — Nothing per seat for the builder and one coding-agent subscription per developer underneath it, and the default deployment path sends our application to a third-party host. |
| El Hacker | 7.8 | 7.3 | bolt.diy — MIT, keys in .env.local, nineteen providers including Ollama and LM Studio for a fully local run, MCP servers, and docker compose --profile development; this is the Bolt I would run. |
