The honest verdict

Choose Suriya if…

  • You're a Thai SME serving local customers
  • You need PromptPay or LINE OA integration
  • You want to launch in a few minutes, not hours
  • You don't want to manage hosting or deployment
  • Budget is $15/mo, not $30+/mo

Choose Bolt.new if…

  • You're a developer who wants full code control
  • You're comfortable deploying and managing infrastructure
  • You need a custom tech stack (React, Next.js, Supabase)
  • You're building for a global market, not Thailand specifically

Only on the surface. Bolt's Pro plan is $20/mo (~฿730), and you still need hosting and a database. Suriya Starter is $15/mo with hosting, database, payments, LINE, and analytics all included.
