Bolt.new pricing: plans, tokens (not credits) and the free plan

The short answer

• Is it free? Yes, with no credit card: 1,000,000 tokens per month, at most 300,000 per day, with no rollover.
• First paid price. Pro, at $25 per month billed monthly or $18 per month billed annually, for 10,000,000 tokens per month.
• Credits or tokens? Tokens. A token is a small piece of text, the unit an AI model reads and writes in. Bolt’s tokens measure the agent’s work: reading your instructions and the project files, drawing up a plan, writing code.

How to read the price list

The public pricing page shows a single Pro tier, the 10 million token one, with no volume selector. The next two tiers in the table come from worked examples in the help center, not from a price list; a “Pro 200” tier is mentioned there with no price or volume.

With those three tiers, the math the vendor does not do looks like this:

Pro tier	Volume versus the first tier	Price versus the first tier	Price per million tokens
10 million	1x	1x	Baseline
26 million	2.6x	2x	23% lower
55 million	5.5x	4x	27% lower

The Teams plan reads differently: $30 per member per month. Each paying member receives their own monthly token allocation, whose size is not published, and those tokens are not shared between members. Free members cannot send prompts.

Monthly or annual billing, and tax

The annual discount varies by plan. On the first Pro tier, the price goes from $25 to $18 per month, 28% lower. On the 26 million token tier and on the Teams plan, the gap recorded is 10%. The annual price of the 55 million tier is not recorded.

Prices are in dollars by default. Since November 1, 2026, billing is handled by Link, which collects the applicable sales tax or VAT on top of the displayed price. Subscriptions are non-refundable.

How many tokens for what: three calculations

No per-message cost is published in the pages recorded: usage depends on the size of the project, since most of it goes into reading and syncing files. The math that can be done is on the ceilings.

1. How many days does the free plan last? 1,000,000 tokens per month divided by 300,000 per day: 3.3 days. Three days run up to the limit, and 100,000 tokens are left for the rest of the month.
2. What does Pro change day to day? 10,000,000 tokens divided by 30 days: about 333,000 per day. That is roughly the free plan’s daily cap, but available every day, and with no daily limit: nothing stops you from spending 2 million in a single day.
3. What happens to a quiet month? You receive 10 million tokens in January and use 6. The remaining 4 million are added to February’s 10 million: 14 million available. The oldest go first. If you only use 3 million in February, 1 million of January’s tokens is left and expires at the end of February; February’s 10 million carry over whole into March.

What rolls over and what expires

Type of token	Rollover	Expiration
Free plan tokens	No	Daily and monthly reset
Monthly tokens on paid plans	Yes, while the subscription is active	Two months from the start of the cycle in which they were received
Tokens bought as a reload	Not applicable	No expiration

If you cancel, the plan and tokens stay active until the end of the paid period, then the account moves to Free. Rolled-over tokens that have not expired are restored if you resubscribe.

When the quota runs out

• On the Free plan, you wait for the daily or monthly reset, or move to a paid plan. Manual code changes remain possible.
• On a paid plan, reloads (“token reloads”) exist, but only on the highest monthly Pro tier or on an annual Pro plan. Their price depends on the tier and is only shown at the time of the reload: it is not published.

The help center does not describe what happens when the tokens of a paid plan are used up and no reload is available (Bolt help center, tokens page (accessed November 11, 2026)).

What uses tokens when you do not expect it

• Hosting has its own meter. On the Free plan: 333,000 requests and 10 GB of bandwidth per month, then the site is offline until the next cycle. On Pro: 1 million requests and 30 GB per month, extendable on a pay-as-you-go basis up to a cap you set. The price of that extension is not recorded.
• A team’s tokens are not pooled: on the Teams plan, they are allocated per member.
• A mobile app means costs outside Bolt: publishing to the App Store and Google Play requires paid Apple and Google developer accounts.

The reverse also holds: changes made by hand in the Code view do not consume tokens.

What the free plan really allows

• Publishing: yes, to a free bolt.host address, within the request and bandwidth limits above. Projects can be public or private.
• Badge: the “Made in Bolt” badge appears on previews and published sites; it goes away from the Pro plan up.
• Domain name: no custom domain.
• Database: unlimited built-in databases; Supabase is reserved for the Pro and Teams plans.
• Files: 10 MB at most per file.
• Code: zip download and GitHub sync are documented; no per-plan restriction is recorded.

Comparing with other tools

The site’s cost calculator prices workflow automation tools (Make, Zapier, n8n and the others), not app builders: Bolt’s tokens are not in it. For Bolt, the math is done with the ceilings and tiers on this page. The guide to operations, credits, tasks and executions explains why these units cannot be compared at a glance.

Lovable, a direct competitor, counts credits per message instead of tokens: see Lovable vs Bolt and Lovable pricing. The AI app builders comparison and the Lovable alternatives comparison line up the four tools in the database, and the Bolt profile describes what the tool builds and hosts.
