# Mythex vs Bolt

> Compare Mythex and Bolt — fast browser prototypes vs a workspace built to ship and own.

# Mythex vs Bolt

Bolt is known for fast, in-browser prototyping. Mythex is built for the full loop: describe → preview → iterate → publish → own.

**Choose Mythex** when the prototype needs to become something you can keep, export, and share as a real link.

## Quick comparison

|                          | Mythex                      | Bolt                   |
| ------------------------ | --------------------------- | ---------------------- |
| Speed to first preview   | Fast                        | Very fast              |
| Live preview             | Yes                         | Yes                    |
| Code access              | Yes                         | Yes                    |
| Database + publish story | Built into the product loop | Strong prototype focus |
| Export / GitHub          | Yes                         | Yes                    |
| Best for                 | Ship and own a web app      | Rapid experiments      |

## Where Mythex is stronger

* **Ship path** — one-click publish and a clear hosting/credits model
* **Modes** — Build / Plan / Ask for controlled iteration
* **Ownership workspace** — editor, terminal, database, export in one place

## Where Bolt may fit better

* You want the absolute fastest in-browser spike
* You mainly need a short experiment and may not keep the project long-term

## Bottom line

Use Bolt when speed-to-spike is everything. Use Mythex when you want that spike to become a **shippable app you own** — with publish, hosting credits, and a lasting workspace.
