Can I Sell a Bolt App?
Yes. Bolt.new gives you full ownership of all code it generates. You can export it to GitHub, deploy it anywhere, and sell your app with no revenue sharing to StackBlitz.
Why this matters
Over 1 million websites have been built and deployed on Bolt.new within its first five months. The platform generates standard code (React, Vue, Next.js, Svelte) that runs anywhere — your app is not locked to Bolt infrastructure.
What's at stake
Stop second-guessing whether your Bolt-built app is sellable. The code is standard, exportable, and yours. The only thing standing between you and revenue is launching.
