AI Website Builder Comparison Overview
📌 The video tests four free AI website builders—Replet, Firebase, Bolt, and Lovable—using a single prompt to create a four-page creative studio site.
⚙️ The prompt requested a modern design, responsive layout, hero section, portfolio gallery, contact form, animations, and social media icons in the footer.
🤯 The winning tool was a surprise, suggesting that common expectations about the best AI builder might be incorrect.

Tool-Specific Results and Analysis
🛠️ Replet: Produced a very professional, modern-looking site that perfectly matched the prompt requirements, but the free plan prevents publishing the live app.
⭐ Firebase (Google): Generated a functional but significantly less modern design compared to others, and the first result had issues like inconsistent cropping and non-working buttons.
🚀 Bolt (Stack Blitz): Delivered a highly modern and impressive result, arguably better than Replet, and offered a more usable free tier allowing for more generation tokens than competitors.
✨ Lovable: Offered solid design quality, similar to Bolt/Replet, with a cleaner contact page, but its daily credit system limits extensive editing or building larger sites on the free plan.

Pricing and Publishability Constraints
💰 Replet's paid Core plan starts at $20/month (annually) to enable publishing and essential features like custom domains.
☁️ Firebase offers $300 in free credits usable over 90 days, operating on a pay-as-you-go model once credits are exceeded, ranking high for its pricing structure.
🛑 Bolt and Lovable both include branding on their free tiers and require a $25/month Pro plan upgrade to connect custom domains and remove branding.

Key Points & Insights
🏆 Bolt is ranked #1 for mixing high-quality design output with the most usable free trial access compared to the other tested tools.
📉 Firebase ranked last because its initial generated output was functionally lacking compared to the other three builders.
🧱 A major drawback across most builders is the resulting lack of brand identity, as many AI-generated sites look highly similar.
🔗 Lovable's advantage is the ability to deploy sites and sync them with GitHub even on a tier that allows publishing public sites.
