Short answer
The fundamental architectural difference
ExodeUI vs Bolt.new is a choice between two different jobs. Bolt builds full-stack web apps from prompts and hosts them, so it is the better choice when you need a whole app. ExodeUI makes interactive UI and animation with state machines and physics, in a file that plays inside your app. We make ExodeUI.
