Bolt.new Pricing Plans 2026: Free, Pro and Tokens

Bolt (bolt.new) by StackBlitz is an AI builder that writes and runs full web apps in the browser, and its 2026 pricing is metered by tokens. So the seat count is not what drives your bill: it is how much code the AI has to generate and regenerate. The short version: a free tier with daily and monthly token caps, Pro at $25/mo with a much larger token bucket and rollover, and Teams at $30/member/mo. The current figures live on the Bolt pricing page, and since token allowances change, treat that page as the source of truth.

Bolt’s pricing tiers

The free tier gives 300K tokens/day and 1M/month, public and private projects, hosting, up to 333K web requests and unlimited databases, with Bolt branding on deployed sites. Pro, at $25/mo, removes the daily cap, raises you to 10M+ tokens/month, adds token rollover to the next month, custom domains, SEO options, AI image editing and bigger file uploads. Teams, at $30/member/mo, keeps everything in Pro and adds centralized billing, team access management, admin controls and private NPM registries. Enterprise is custom with SSO, audit logs and a dedicated manager. StackBlitz documents the mechanics in the Bolt support docs.

What you actually pay for: tokens

A token is a unit of the model’s work. Generating a fresh component, rewriting a file, or applying a big change all consume tokens, and the count scales with the size of the request and the response. The free tier’s 300K daily cap sounds large until a complex app has Bolt regenerating multiple files per prompt, at which point you can hit the cap in an afternoon.

Bolt plans at a glance

Plan	Price	Tokens and key features
Free	$0	300K/day, 1M/month, hosting, Bolt branding
Pro	$25/mo	10M+/month, no daily cap, rollover, custom domain
Teams	$30/member/mo	Pro plus centralized billing, admin controls
Enterprise	Custom	SSO, audit logs, dedicated manager

A worked example

Picture building a small storefront. From a vague prompt, Bolt scaffolds a layout you do not want, you correct it, and each regeneration rewrites several files, eating tokens fast. Start from a finished design instead: open a near-matching screen on VP0, paste its link into Bolt, and the first scaffold already fits. Fewer regenerations means your daily token cap lasts, and on Pro your monthly bucket covers far more of the build.

How to spend less on Bolt

Tokens track regeneration, so your cheapest lever is getting it right on the first pass. VP0 is the free design library for AI builders, with an AI-readable source page per design, so Bolt starts from a concrete target instead of guessing. For the bigger picture on usage-metered tools, see the hidden token tax of no-code AI subscriptions.

Common mistakes

The most common mistake is letting Bolt regenerate whole files for tiny changes, which spends tokens on work a precise prompt would avoid. The second is treating the free daily cap as a flat allowance and being surprised when a complex app burns it by noon. The third is comparing Bolt’s token model to seat-based editors without estimating how much your project regenerates.

Key takeaways

• Bolt is token-metered, so the cost driver is generation and regeneration, not seats.
• Free (300K/day, 1M/month), Pro $25/mo (10M+/month, rollover), Teams $30/member/mo, Enterprise custom.
• Complex builds can exhaust the free daily cap quickly because each prompt rewrites multiple files.
• Start from a finished design (free via VP0) to cut regenerations and stretch your tokens.

FAQ

How much does Bolt.new cost in 2026?

Bolt has a free tier (300K tokens/day, 1M/month, hosting, Bolt branding), a Pro plan at $25/mo (no daily cap, 10M+ tokens/month, token rollover, custom domains, no branding), and a Teams plan at $30/member/mo with centralized billing and admin controls. Enterprise is custom. Check the live Bolt pricing page for exact current numbers.

Does Bolt have a free plan?

Yes. The free tier gives you 300,000 tokens per day and 1,000,000 per month, plus public and private projects and website hosting, with Bolt branding on deployed sites. It is enough to try Bolt and ship small projects.

What is a Bolt token?

Tokens measure the work the AI does generating and editing your code. Bigger prompts and bigger regenerations consume more tokens, which is why the free tier’s daily cap can run out quickly on complex builds.

How do I use fewer Bolt tokens?

Hand Bolt a near-final design so it generates less from scratch. Copy a native design link from VP0 (free) into your prompt, and the first build lands closer, which cuts the regenerations that burn tokens.

Is Bolt worth it in 2026?

Bolt is worth it for developers who want a full app running in the browser in minutes, with real hosting on the free tier. Pro at $25/mo removes the daily token cap. It is less worth it for big multi-file apps that regenerate often, since tokens drain fast, so a finished VP0 design cuts the regenerations that cost the most.

What are the best Bolt alternatives in 2026?

The best Bolt alternatives in 2026 are Lovable, v0 and Replit, depending on whether you want full-stack apps, UI generation or a cloud IDE. Bolt shines for running a real app in the browser fast. Whichever you choose, VP0 is the free design library to start from, cutting the regenerations that burn tokens.
