Where to Host a Lovable, Bolt or v0 App (2026): 10 Hosts Priced at 3 Traffic Levels

AI app builders make the first version of an app in an afternoon. Then comes the question every builder answers differently: where should it live? Lovable, Bolt, Replit and Base44 all host apps themselves. v0 sends you to Vercel. And each of them lets you export the code to run somewhere else.

The pages that rank for this question are mostly written by one hosting company, plus a few how-to guides from static hosts. We read them, and found three gaps. Nobody prices the same app on different hosts. Nobody says what each free tier actually does when you hit its limit. And most of the guides still tell you to upload a folder of static files, which no longer works for new Lovable projects.

How we put this together. We have not deployed apps on these hosts ourselves; this is a research-based guide. Every price, limit and rule below comes from the vendor’s own pricing page or documentation, read on 13 October 2026. The monthly costs are our own arithmetic on those published rates, with the assumptions stated in full below. They are estimates, not bills. Prices are as displayed to us, in dollars; some pages do not name the currency.

First, check what kind of app you have

This decides which hosts can run your app at all, and it is the step most guides skip.

• A static app. Older Lovable projects and Bolt projects built with Vite are static apps. Building them produces a dist folder of plain files that any static host can serve.
• A server-rendered app. Lovable’s own deployment guide says projects created from 13 May 2026 use TanStack Start and “need a host that runs a server”. If your package.json lists @tanstack/react-start, a static-only host will not run it. v0 projects are typically Next.js apps, and a Next.js app with server actions or route handlers needs a server too.
• A backend. Your database, sign-in and file storage usually live somewhere else: Lovable Cloud, Bolt Database, Supabase or Base44’s backend. Moving the front end does not move these, and none of the costs below include them.

If you are not sure, open the exported code and look for that TanStack line, or for next in the dependencies. That one check rules hosts in or out before price matters.

What each builder’s own hosting gives you

Staying put is the easiest option, and for many small apps it is the right one. Here is what each builder includes, from its own docs.

Lovable

Lovable says it hosts your app, that traffic “isn’t capped by plan”, and that a live site does not use credits on its own, although high-traffic apps may draw on your credit balance. It does not publish a rate for that. The plans page lists Pro at $25 a month and Business at $50. Custom domains need a paid plan.

Bolt

Bolt’s pricing lists Free with “up to 333K” web requests and Pro at $25 a month with “up to 1M”. It does not say what counts as a web request or what happens above the cap. Bolt’s own hosting launched on 14 August 2025 and replaced Netlify as the default, which is why older guides disagree on whether Bolt hosts apps. You can still pick Netlify, but a project already published on Bolt hosting cannot switch.

v0

v0 deploys to Vercel, so your hosting bill is a Vercel bill, separate from your v0 plan. v0’s own plans run from Free to Plus at $30 per user a month.

Replit and Base44

Replit’s deployment pricing makes static hosting free with transfer at $0.05 per GB, and server apps on Autoscale from a $2 monthly base. Base44 includes hosting on every app; custom domains start on Starter at $16 a month billed annually.

The 10 hosts compared

The same app at three traffic levels

This is the comparison no ranking page makes. We priced one small static app (an older Lovable or Bolt build) on each host at 10,000, 100,000 and 1 million visits a month.

Our assumptions: each visit transfers 1 MB and makes 20 requests, the site is deployed 10 times a month, one person on the team, monthly billing unless noted, taxes excluded. That makes 10 GB at 10,000 visits, 100 GB at 100,000 and about 1 TB at 1 million. We treat GB and GiB as equal, which is about 7% off. Your real numbers will differ, so use the method, not just the totals.

How we got these numbers

• Cloudflare: its Workers pricing says requests to static assets are “free and unlimited” with no charge for bandwidth.
• Hostinger: a flat Web Apps Hosting price of $3.99 a month on a 48-month term, renewing at $16.99, with no usage fees under a fair usage policy. The renewal is what you pay from year five.
• DigitalOcean: transfer above the free 1 GiB at $0.02 per GiB.
• Fly.io: the smallest shared machine at $2.19 a month plus $0.02 per GB of North American and European traffic.
• Railway: about $5 of memory and $2 of CPU for a small always-on container, plus $0.05 per GB out. Above the included $5 you pay the whole usage.
• Netlify: its credit pricing charges 20 credits per GB, 2 per 10,000 requests and 15 per production deploy. That is 390 credits at 10,000 visits, more than the free 300, so the Personal plan. At 1 million it is about 24,150 credits: Pro’s 3,000 plus 15 packs of 1,500 at $10.
• Vercel: Pro at $20 plus the Flat Rate CDN tier that fits the request count: included at 10,000 visits, $20 at 100,000, $100 at 1 million. Vercel’s pricing page and its Pro plan docs describe overage differently; these figures follow the most recently dated doc.
• Render: $0.15 per GB over the 5 GB included on Hobby. We have left out its plan fees because its pricing page did not show them to us.
• Firebase: transfer above the free 10 GiB at $0.15 per GiB cached and $0.20 uncached, assuming half is cached, with requests extra at 1 million visits.

What the table tells you

At 10,000 visits, almost everything costs under $10, and the choice is about custom domains and commercial-use rules, not money. At 100,000, Vercel’s free plan is over its 1 million request cap and Netlify’s free plan has long since paused. At 1 million, bandwidth decides everything: the same files cost $0 on Cloudflare and about $170 on Netlify Pro.

If your app is server-rendered

New Lovable projects and v0 Next.js apps with server actions run server code, which adds compute charges. We added two server calls per visit at 50 milliseconds of CPU each. Only hosts that run server code are listed.

• Cloudflare Workers: 50 ms per call is over the free plan’s 10 ms limit, so the $5 Paid plan is the realistic choice. It covers 10,000 and 100,000 visits; at 1 million, extra CPU brings it to about $6.40.
• Hostinger: still $3.99 on the intro term. Hostinger does not publish the memory and CPU on that plan, so a busy app may need the Cloud Startup plan at $7.99 a month on 48 months, renewing at $25.99.
• Vercel Pro: function costs at 10,000 and 100,000 visits fit inside the $20 credit. At 1 million, about $124.76 before memory charges, which we did not model.
• Railway and Fly.io: a container already runs a server, so the static figures above are a floor. Real CPU and memory needs at 1 million visits are unknown.
• Firebase App Hosting: Google’s own example prices 1 million visits at about $69.58, on its assumptions rather than ours.

What each free tier does when you hit the limit

Free tiers fail in very different ways, and this matters more than the price when your app suddenly gets traffic.

• Netlify Free: when credits run out, “all of your web projects” are paused, and you cannot buy extra credits on the free plan. One busy app takes down every site on the account.
• Vercel Hobby: Vercel says that in most cases you wait until 30 days have passed. Hobby is also limited to non-commercial, personal use, so a paid product should not be on it at all.
• Render Free: free services spin down after 15 minutes idle and are suspended to the end of the month when free hours run out. Free Postgres databases expire after 30 days, then are deleted after a 14-day grace period.
• Railway and Vercel Pro: they keep running and bill you. Vercel Pro has a $200 default spend alert and an optional hard pause; set one before you launch.
• Cloudflare: static files are never charged; server code on the free plan has a daily request limit.
• Hostinger: no overage fees, but its FAQ says each plan has resource limits and you “may need to upgrade”.

The export checklist: what breaks when you move

These come from the builders’ and Supabase’s docs. Work through them before you switch the domain.

1. Wrong host type. A TanStack Start or Next.js app with server code will not run on a static host.
2. Refreshing a page gives a 404. Single-page apps need a rule that sends every path to index.html. Each host has its own file for this. Lovable warns not to use that fallback for TanStack Start, which routes on the server.
3. Settings are baked into the build. Lovable notes that VITE_ variables are embedded at build time, not runtime, so change them on the new host and rebuild. Lovable Cloud apps need their Supabase URL, key and project ID set.
4. Sign-in breaks on the new domain. In Supabase the Site URL defaults to localhost, and it drives confirmation and password-reset emails. Set it to your live domain, add your preview addresses to the allowed redirect URLs, and update Google or GitHub sign-in settings.
5. Your data does not come with the code. Lovable’s ownership guide says exports omit database rows and stored files. Its data export allows one export every 24 hours, and users have to sign in again after a move. Base44’s eject command creates a new app with “an empty database”.
6. Edge functions and scheduled jobs. They must be redeployed separately, and old and new backends can run the same job twice if you leave both on.
7. Builder AI features stop. Lovable’s connectors and AI calls run through Lovable and must be replaced. A Base44 front end still talks to the Base44 backend.
8. The builder keeps publishing and billing. Lovable’s Publish button still updates the lovable.app version, and moving does not cancel your subscription. On Bolt, disconnecting GitHub is permanent. On v0, deleting the repo can make the code unrecoverable.
9. Lockfile mismatch. If only a Bun lockfile exists, use Bun on the new host or generate an npm one.
10. You now run the operations. Deploys, SSL, backups, monitoring and AI provider bills are yours.

The hosts, one by one

Cloudflare Workers: cheapest at any traffic level

For a static app, nothing beats free bandwidth and free static requests. Server code is cheap on the $5 plan. The trade-off is setup: Workers is a developer platform, so expect to configure builds yourself.

Hostinger Web Apps Hosting: one flat price

Hostinger names Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Base44 and Firebase Studio on its page, deploys from GitHub, a zip file or an AI coding assistant, and connects to Supabase. It is the only host here with no usage billing. Remember the term: $3.99 a month is the 48-month price, $191.52 upfront, and it renews at $16.99.

Vercel: the home of v0

If you built with v0, Vercel is already your host. Move to Pro the moment the app earns money, because Hobby does not allow commercial use, and set a spend limit.

Netlify: simple, but watch the free plan

Netlify supports Vite and TanStack Start apps and its credit system is clear. Do not run a growing app on Free, because hitting the limit pauses every site you have.

Railway, Fly.io and DigitalOcean: for full-stack apps

These run containers, so they suit apps with a real server and a database next to it. DigitalOcean’s free static apps are a good small option; Railway and Fly.io bill by the second. If you are hosting an AI agent rather than an app, see our guide to OpenClaw and Hermes agent hosting, and for a .ai address, what a .ai domain really costs.

Render and Firebase

Render’s free tier is fine for demos but suspends services and deletes free databases. Firebase App Hosting needs the pay-as-you-go Blaze plan and has no built-in spending cap, so set a budget alert. If you are self-hosting an automation tool such as n8n rather than an app, see our n8n hosting guide.

Black Friday on app hosting

Hostinger’s Black Friday page says its sale runs from 19 October to 14 December 2026 and lists Web Apps Hosting among the plans; no sale price was shown when we read it. None of the other builders or hosts we checked, all of them except Cloudflare and Firebase, showed a Black Friday offer on its own pages on 13 October. If you lock in a long hosting term during a sale, compare the renewal price, not the intro price. We track verified offers on our AI tools Black Friday deals page.

So where should you host?

If your app is small or still a test

Keep it on the builder’s own hosting. Pay for a custom domain only when you need one.

If you want the lowest bill as traffic grows

Cloudflare, for static apps and for server code on the $5 plan.

If you want one predictable price

Hostinger, with the renewal price in your plan.

If you built with v0

Vercel Pro, with a spend limit set.
