Bolt Pricing (2026)
Bolt has a free plan with 1 million tokens per month (300,000 daily cap), a Pro plan at $25 per month with 10 million tokens, and a Teams plan at $30 per member per month. All paid plans include token rollover, custom domains, and no Bolt branding. Annual billing saves about 10 percent.

What you need to know
What you actually pay for with Bolt
Bolt, often referred to by its URL bolt.new, generates full-stack apps across React, Vue, and Svelte with Node.js backends, and runs in the browser. It uses Claude as its underlying coding agent. The pricing is measured in tokens, which are consumed as the AI reads your project and generates code. The more complex the project, the more tokens each prompt costs.
As of mid-2026, the Free plan gives you 1 million tokens per month with a 300,000-token daily cap, enough to try the tool and build something small. Pro at $25 per month includes 10 million tokens. Teams at $30 per member per month adds real-time collaboration and role-based access, with one important caveat: tokens are allocated per member and are not pooled across the team. All paid plans include token rollover, custom domains, and the removal of Bolt branding. Annual billing saves about 10 percent.
Tokens scale with project complexity
The defining feature of Bolt's pricing is that tokens scale with how much context the AI has to process. As your project grows past 15 to 20 components, the AI reads more code on every prompt, so each change costs more tokens than it did when the project was small. This is why builders have reported burning through large token allowances on a single ambitious project. The token model is honest about the work being done, but it means the cost of iterating climbs as the app grows.
Token rollover softens this. Unused tokens carry forward, so a quiet month banks capacity for a heavier one. But the structural reality is that a token allowance that felt generous at the start of a project can feel tight by the end, especially if the AI gets into a loop re-attempting a fix.
The per-member detail on Teams
For teams, the pricing has a wrinkle worth planning around. On the Teams plan at $30 per member per month, each member receives their own token allotment, and those tokens are not shared. A team where one person does most of the building cannot lend their unused tokens to a teammate who is out. Budget for this by sizing the plan around your heaviest builder, not the team average.
How to choose a tier
Start on Free to evaluate Bolt; the 1 million monthly tokens are enough to feel out the tool. Move to Pro at $25 per month for serious solo building, where 10 million tokens and token rollover give you room to iterate. Choose Teams only when multiple people need to collaborate in real time, and size it knowing tokens are per member.
Reading the token meter and the gap
Token consumption is a useful signal. If a single feature is eating tokens in a debugging loop, the AI is struggling to recover from an error it introduced, which is a known Bolt failure mode at scale. That is the moment the work needs a human. And separately from tokens, the bigger budget question is the security gap Bolt apps consistently ship with, which is where a project moves from "it runs" to "it is safe to share."

The production gap
Secret keys are written directly into the app code
Bolt generates working demos with API keys and service credentials in the source files, where anyone who opens devtools can read them. Scrapers find exposed keys within hours of deployment. Moving every secret into environment variables before publishing is a manual step Bolt does not do for you.
Backend functions ship with no authentication
Bolt scaffolds Netlify Functions as backend handlers but does not add auth by default. An unprotected function that reads or writes user data is publicly callable by anyone who finds the endpoint URL, bypassing your interface entirely. Every backend route needs an auth check added by hand.
The server accepts input your form never validated
Bolt-generated forms validate in the browser but the server accepts anything. An attacker does not use your form, they post directly to the endpoint. Without server-side validation added to every route, malformed or malicious input reaches your database unchecked.
Database tables often lack row-level security
Bolt apps backed by Supabase commonly ship without row-level security policies, so tables are readable or writable by anyone with the public key. Combined with exposed service-role keys, this is one of the four holes that appear in almost every Bolt app and must be closed before launch.
What it really costs
Bolt's subscription cost is clear: free to try, $25 per month for Pro, $30 per member for Teams. Because billing is token-based, a complex project costs more in practice, and builders have reported large bills on single ambitious projects, so budget for token consumption to climb as the app grows.
The cost that no plan addresses is closing the security gap. Bolt apps consistently ship with the same holes: exposed keys, unauthenticated backend functions, missing input validation, and missing row-level security. Hardening all of that, plus adding monitoring, is the production stack, and building it in-house runs $24,000 to $60,000 per year in tools and specialists. A freelancer to secure one Bolt app is cheaper but still thousands of dollars and turns every change into a handoff. Both fix the gap and both remove the speed that made Bolt appealing. BWORLDS closes that gap for the price of a tool plan instead of a surprise bill. See our plans.

Bolt bills by tokens, which the AI consumes as it reads your project and generates code. As a project grows past 15 to 20 components, each prompt reads more code and costs more tokens, which is why complex projects can burn through an allowance quickly. Unused tokens roll over.
No. On the Teams plan at $30 per member per month, each member receives their own token allotment and tokens are not pooled across the team. Size the plan around your heaviest builder, since one member cannot lend unused tokens to another.
