Bolt.new is garbage

Sorry to say this, I don't usually write negative review about a product, but this one should not have passed the Appsumo quality check.
I am building a project with Lovable, which is pretty impressive to me. I tried Bolt.new because of 2 reasons : it was in the Black Friday Bundle of Appsumo, and I had it in the corner of my eye because it supports Tailwind CSS 4.1 (Lovable don't), and I need it to use UntitledUI React.

But hey, nothing to do with it. The token consumption is crazy (millions of tokens are burning with a few simple prompts), and the result isn't just ok.
The worst : I've imported a UntitledUI starter kit for Bolt.new there are a few days. I imported 2 pages from them as a kickstart. 3 days after (today), I open the project again : impossible to get the preview. I prompt Bolt to fix it. Ok, no problem, it just destroy all the project and rebuild random pages. So you just absolutely can't trust this tool, it can destroy all your work when it wants to.

No go for me, for bolt.new.
I won't use Hostinger because of their renewal policy (4 years to pay in advance, thank you, but no, thank you).
Pica seems a bit complicated to me, but will have a look in the next weeks. The same for Emergent.

Note : The 2-tacos review if for bolt only.

Thanks for taking the time to share your review. Just to clarify on Hostinger, there isn’t a requirement to prepay for 4 years; they offer different billing terms, and longer plans are optional. That said, totally understand it not being the right fit for everyone. Thanks again for the candid feedback!
