The short answer

What is the best Bolt.new alternative for selling an AI app?

Starty. It builds your AI app from a sentence with AI features that need no API keys of your own, takes payments without you setting up a Stripe account, and then runs the business around it. A support agent answers your customers, and you see every customer, your revenue and retention in one place. You approve every send, charge and refund.

What Starty runs for you

Built to run the business after launch

Launching is one day. Running it is every day after. With Starty, these run from day one, and nothing is sent, charged, refunded or published without your OK.

Support

A support agent that answers your customers

Customers write by chat or email. The agent checks payments and history, answers in their language, and drafts a reply for you when a refund or a person is needed.

  • One inbox for every channel
  • Internal notes show what the agent checked
  • Refunds and exceptions wait for your OK

Why people switch

Why people look for Bolt.new alternatives

Most people comparing Bolt.new competitors can already get an app built. What they are missing is everything after launch: customers to answer, payments to take and numbers that show what earns. That is the part Starty runs, which makes it the Bolt.new alternative for people who want a business, not just an app.

The app works. The business does not run yet.

Customers need answers, and you need to know who pays and what your AI really costs. Starty does that work from the first sale.
