Bolt
An AI workspace for building, publishing, and running websites, applications, and prototypes from written instructions.
Decision summary
Choose if
Choose Bolt when a browser-based builder must create or import a GitHub repository and the team wants conventional branches, commits, downloads, and external hosting options.
Compare before choosing
Compare Lovable when the project starts inside a guided builder with active-branch two-way sync, or v0 when pull requests and Vercel previews are the intended handoff.
Verify before adoption: Import an existing disposable repository and inspect the resulting branch. Review automatic commits and download the complete project. Deploy outside the default path and verify required configuration.
About Bolt
Bolt is an AI website and app builder that turns written instructions into working projects. It combines chat-based coding agents with hosting, databases, authentication, analytics, SEO support, and custom domains, so a project can move from an idea to a live product in one interface. Teams can also begin with a Figma design or GitHub repository instead of starting from a blank project. The free plan can cover prototypes and small experiments. Usage is limited to 300,000 tokens per day and 1 million per month, keeps Bolt branding on published websites, and caps file uploads at 10MB. Pro removes the daily token limit, starts at 10 million monthly tokens, raises uploads to 100MB, supports private sharing and custom domains, and allows unused paid tokens to roll over for one additional month. Teams adds per-member collaboration and administration, while Enterprise provides custom security, support, procurement, and governance terms. Because token consumption rises with project size, buyers should treat monthly token volume as a practical operating constraint rather than comparing the subscription price alone.

Best for
Best use cases
Turn a written product idea into a working flow before a planning meeting or sprint begins.
Import a Figma design or GitHub repository, iterate with an AI coding agent, and publish the result from the same workspace.
Run a hosted application with databases and authentication, then add a custom domain and SEO support on a paid plan.
Compare before choosing
The free plan supports real private projects and hosting, but its daily and monthly token caps suit smaller experiments.
Pro removes the daily token cap and adds private sharing, custom domains, higher uploads, and token rollover for individual builders.
Teams charges per member and adds administration and organization features; Enterprise adds negotiated security, governance, and support.
Features
Build working product prototypes
Turn a written idea into a functional website or app that stakeholders can use to review flows and validate a concept.
Launch hosted websites and applications
Create, publish, and operate a project with hosting, databases, authentication, analytics, SEO tools, and custom domains in one workflow.
Develop from existing design or code
Start from a Figma design or GitHub repository, then use chat-based coding agents to build, test, refactor, and iterate on the project.
Coordinate branded team projects
Use shared workspaces, access controls, organization sharing, private NPM registries, and design-system knowledge for team delivery.
Pros
- The $0 plan includes private projects, hosting, unlimited databases, and enough token capacity for smaller prototypes.
- Built-in hosting, databases, authentication, analytics, SEO support, and domains reduce the number of separate services in a launch workflow.
- Figma and GitHub imports let teams start from existing design or code instead of recreating the project from scratch.
- Paid plans add practical production controls such as private sharing, branding removal, higher upload limits, and token rollover.
Cons
- Token use increases as projects grow, so a larger codebase can consume the monthly allowance faster per AI message.
- The free plan has a 300K daily and 1M monthly token cap, keeps Bolt branding, and limits uploads to 10MB.
- Teams costs $30 per member each month, which makes collaboration expense rise directly with the number of paid seats.
- Advanced security, governance, priority support, and procurement terms require an Enterprise quote rather than a posted price.
