The free plan caps tokens at 300K a day, with hosting and databases included. Bolt.new, from StackBlitz, builds websites and apps from a chat prompt and hosts them. The Free plan is $0 forever and the pricing page says no card is required. It includes 1M AI tokens a month with a 300K daily limit, public and private projects, unlimited databases and website hosting, but sites carry Bolt branding. Pro is $18 a month billed annually for 10M tokens with rollover, your own domain and the newest models. Token burn is the complaint that shows up everywhere: a Trustpilot reviewer wrote that Bolt consumes tokens too fast, and a Trustpilot page we saw shows a 1.6 rating from 204 reviews. The pricing FAQ explains that larger projects use more tokens per message.

👍 Good boy
+The Free plan is free forever with no card, and the pricing page lists hosting and databases on it, so a small app can be live without a separate host.
+Free includes private projects, which many free builders reserve for paid plans.
+The pricing FAQ is direct about tokens: most usage comes from syncing the project's files to the AI, so bigger projects cost more per message.
+Pro at $18 a month billed annually adds 10M tokens with rollover, your own domain and no Bolt branding.
+A r/boltnewbuilders poster says bolt.diy, the open-source version, runs almost perfectly on AWS and lets them switch models through OpenRouter.
+A Reddit poster recommends a fallback when tokens run out: paste individual files into another chatbot and ask for the specific change.
👎 Watch out
−Token burn is the main complaint. A Trustpilot reviewer wrote that Bolt consumes too many tokens too fast and that millions of tokens went on a simple project without a working PHP export.
−A Trustpilot page we saw shows a 1.6 rating from 204 reviews, with reviewers describing crashes and tokens that disappear quickly (a search excerpt, so check the live page).
−A r/ChatGPTCoding poster said small problems can need tons of tokens to fix and that complex apps struggle.
−A r/boltnewbuilders poster loved the visual result but said getting e-commerce functionality stable was burning through their allowance.
−The 300K daily cap means the 1M monthly allowance cannot be used in one sitting.
−Free sites carry Bolt branding, and custom domains, token rollover and the newest models are Pro features.
The catch
Tokens, not messages, are the unit. A bigger project costs more per message because Bolt syncs the project's files to the AI, so the same prompt gets more expensive as the app grows. The free 1M monthly allowance is also capped at 300K a day.
Unused tokens do not roll over on Free. Rollover, custom domains, the newest models and MCP connectors all start on Pro.
User reviews on Trustpilot and Reddit repeat the same story: an app that looks right quickly, then a long stretch of tokens spent on fixes. Trustpilot shows a low rating on the page we saw, so read recent reviews before paying.
The pricing page does not state commercial-use terms for Free, so we left that as unknown.

Common questions
Is Bolt.new free?
Yes. The Free plan gives 1M tokens a month with a 300K daily limit. The pricing page says it is free forever and needs no card.
What is a token?
A unit of AI usage. The FAQ says most Bolt usage comes from syncing your project's files to the AI, so larger projects use more tokens per message.
Do unused tokens roll over?
Not on Free. The comparison table shows rollover as included on Pro, Teams and Enterprise.
Can I use my own domain?
Custom domains are listed as not included on Free and included from Pro.
Is there an open-source version?
A Reddit poster refers to bolt.diy, which they run on AWS. Check its own repository for current terms.
