Quick verdict
Bolt, from StackBlitz, turns a prompt into a working web app or website, or an iOS and Android app through Expo, with a built-in database, user sign-in and hosting on every plan. Usage is counted in tokens. Bolt Free gives 1 million tokens a month with a daily limit of 300,000, the Standard agent only, and hosting on a bolt.host URL with a Made in Bolt badge. Bolt Pro is sold on a token slider: 10 million tokens for $25 a month or $216 a year paid up front ($18 a month), 26 million for $50 a month or $540 a year, and 55 million for $100 a month, with no annual price found for that tier. Bolt's terms say fees may exclude taxes in some jurisdictions.
Pro removes the daily cap, lets unused tokens roll over for one more month, and adds the Max agent for deeper reasoning, the Forge agent with open-source models, AI images, custom domains and larger hosting limits. Free hosting has a hard limit: at 10 GB of bandwidth or 333,333 requests in a month, the site goes offline.
Ownership and portability are documented on every plan. StackBlitz's terms assign you its rights in AI output, subject to third-party model rights, and you can download any project as a zip or sync it to GitHub. Bolt uses your projects and chats to train AI models by default for US accounts, and you can turn that off free on any plan. This verdict rests on what Bolt documents, not on our tests, which we have not run yet.
Strengths and limits
Strengths
- Your code leaves with you on every planYou can download any project as a zip, open it in StackBlitz's online editor or connect a GitHub repository that syncs commits automatically, with no plan restriction stated. Bolt database rows can be exported too.
- Rights in output and a free training opt-outStackBlitz's terms say it "assigns to you all of its right, title, and interest, if any, in and to the AI Output", subject to third-party model rights. A Model training setting lets you stop training use free on any plan.
- Database and sign-in on every planEvery project can have a built-in Bolt database with tables, email and Google sign-in, file storage and server functions, with unlimited databases. Stripe can be connected to take payments, and Supabase is available on Pro.
- Tokens roll over on ProPro has no daily cap, and unused tokens roll over for one more month. The Forge agent, which runs open-source models such as GLM 5.3, Kimi K3 and DeepSeek v4 Pro, has its own extra allowance, with up to 50x more usage than Standard.
- Slides and web sources includedBolt Slides builds a presentation from a prompt, with visual edits, speaker view and PDF download, on all plans. In Plan Mode, Bolt can search the web and shows the sources above the answer.
Limits
- Free sites go offline at the capPlan limit. Free hosting on bolt.host allows up to 10 GB of bandwidth and 333,333 requests a month as a hard limit: when either is reached, the site goes offline. Free sites carry a Made in Bolt badge, and custom domains need a paid plan.
- Free tokens are capped dailyPlan limit. Free gives 1 million tokens a month with a 300,000 daily limit. Free tokens do not roll over, and extra tokens cannot be bought on Free. Only the Standard agent is available.
- Training is on by defaultPrivacy limit. Bolt's Model training setting is on by default for US accounts, so your projects and chats can be used to train AI models until you turn it off. It applies to content from October 7, 2026, and Bolt Forge follows its own data-sharing terms while Forge is on.
- Pricing partly hiddenNot verified. The pricing page shows only the $25 entry price; the other tier prices come from Bolt's help center examples. The Pro 100 annual price and the price and tokens of a higher tier named Pro 200 were not found, and which tiers can buy extra tokens is not stated.
- No Office files as contextWorkflow limit. Bolt reads PDF, CSV and TXT attachments, but it says it can't read Word, Excel or PowerPoint files. Free allows 5 files per message and paid plans 20, each read up to 5 MB.
Based on what StackBlitz, Inc. documents for each plan, not on our tests.
Who it suits
A good fit if you
- Building a web app or website from a prompt, with database and sign-in included
- Mobile apps for iOS and Android through Expo
- Keeping a copy of your code: zip download and GitHub sync on every plan
- Steady building on Pro, where unused tokens roll over for a month
Look elsewhere if you
- Running a busy site on Free: it goes offline at the monthly traffic cap
- AI images on Free: image generation and editing are paid only
- Working from Word, Excel or PowerPoint files: Bolt can't read them
- Building on a desktop or phone app: Bolt is web only

Using it day to day
Bolt runs in the browser at bolt.new; no official desktop or mobile app for building was found. Projects open in an in-browser workspace with your files, and Export opens the code in StackBlitz or downloads it for your own editor. Each project keeps Knowledge, persistent instructions applied to every prompt, and Skills for reusable rules. Integrations include GitHub, Figma, Supabase, Stripe, Netlify, Expo and Google Stitch, plus MCP servers.
On Pro, Pro hosting allows up to 30 GB of bandwidth and 1 million requests a month, with optional pay-as-you-go traffic up to a spending cap, private sharing and no badge. Custom domains can be ones you own or ones bought in Bolt, priced separately. AI image generation, turned on under Add-on features, produces WebP images that can have transparent backgrounds, and Edit with AI changes an image in your project from a description. Bolt does not state a context window size.
Privacy, data and ads
Bolt's Model training setting controls whether Bolt can use your projects and chats to train AI models. It is on by default for US accounts, and you can turn it off at any time, free and on any plan. It applies to content you create or submit to Bolt's AI features on or after October 7, 2026. Bolt Forge keeps its own data-sharing terms while Forge is on. You can download any project as a zip and export Bolt database rows. Whether Bolt shows ads is not verified.

Getting started
- Before your first prompt, open account settings and turn off Model training if you do not want your projects and chats used for training. It is on by default in the US.
- Start on Bolt Free with 1 million tokens a month, at most 300,000 a day, and the Standard agent.
- Publish to bolt.host for testing, but do not send real traffic to a Free site: it goes offline at 10 GB or 333,333 requests a month.
- Move to Pro at $25 a month for your own domain, AI images, the Max and Forge agents and tokens that roll over. Pick a larger tier only when 10 million tokens run out.
- Compare Bolt with Lovable and Base44 on our tools page, and read how we check vendor claims.
