Bolt

Bolt is a web-based AI builder for websites, apps, and prototypes. It supports chat-driven creation, design system imports, hosting, and team or enterprise plan options.

Bolt

Overview

Bolt is an AI builder for websites, apps, and prototypes. It lets users describe what they want in natural language, import from tools like Figma or GitHub, and continue building inside a single interface.

The product pairs the builder with Bolt Cloud infrastructure and plan tiers for individuals, teams, and enterprises. Depending on the plan, users can get hosting, databases, custom domains, SEO tools, team access management, and enterprise support options.

Core capabilities

Chat-based building

Create apps and websites by chatting with AI, then keep building in the same interface instead of moving between separate tools.

Design system import

Import designs or code from Figma and GitHub, and start from examples or your own design system.

Model routing

Bolt automatically routes work to the right model for the task, balancing quality and cost instead of asking users to choose manually.

Automated iteration

The product says it automatically tests, refactors, and iterates to reduce errors and keep projects moving.

Built-in app infrastructure

Bolt Cloud includes hosting, databases, integrations, analytics, custom domains, SEO optimization, and user management features.

Team and enterprise controls

Plans add team access controls, centralized billing, private NPM registry support, and enterprise admin options.

Common ways teams use Bolt

  • Product discovery and prototyping

    Move from a prompt to a working prototype quickly, then refine the idea in the same builder before sharing it with teammates.

  • Campaign and website launches

    Build a landing page or marketing site with hosting, SEO support, and custom domains available on paid plans.

  • Design system-based development

    Import an existing design system from Figma, GitHub, or component libraries and build on-brand without starting from scratch.

  • Team-based product work

    Set up collaboration, access management, and centralized billing for a team that needs shared workspace workflows.

  • Enterprise deployment and governance

    Use enterprise plan options when you need SSO, audit logs, custom workflows, or deployment into your own AWS or Azure tenant.

FAQ

Can I change or cancel my plan later?

Bolt lets you change plans from the billing portal by selecting Manage current plan and then Update subscription. You can also cancel at any time from the same billing flow.

How do Teams plans work?

Teams use a shared workspace for collaborating on Bolt projects. Pricing for Teams is per team member, and each paid member gets a monthly token allotment based on the subscription tier; tokens are not shared across members.

What are the free plan token limits?

Free plans include a 300,000 token daily limit and a 1 million token monthly limit.

Do tokens roll over from month to month?

Bolt says paid subscription tokens roll over for one additional month starting July 1, 2025, so they can remain valid for up to two months total as long as the paid subscription stays active.

What kinds of projects can Bolt help build?

Bolt is designed to build websites, apps, and prototypes. The site highlights importing from Figma and GitHub, working with design systems, and using Bolt Cloud features such as hosting, databases, and analytics.
