Which AI prototyping tool should I pick: v0, Lovable, Bolt, Replit, or Figma Make?

They overlap heavily but have clear sweet spots: v0 for the most polished web UI, Lovable for full-stack apps a non-coder can ship, Bolt for fast in-browser experiments, Replit when you want databases, auth, and hosting in one place, and Figma Make when you live in Figma and care about design fidelity. Switching costs at prototype stage are near zero, so run the same idea through two tools for an hour each and keep whichever got further. India now has credible homegrown options too, with Rocket.new and Emergent growing fast on local pricing.
