Bolt.new Pricing 2026: Free, Pro and Teams, and What Tokens Really Cost
Short answer: Bolt.new is free with 1M tokens a month and a 300K daily cap. Pro costs $25 a month billed monthly for 10M tokens with no daily cap and two-month rollover, Teams is $30 per member a month, and Enterprise is a custom contract billed by consumption. Verified on bolt.new/pricing on October 28, 2026.
The plan names are simple. The catch is that Bolt bills in tokens, and a long build session on a growing project can eat a whole free day before lunch, so the real question is how many tokens your project burns, not which card looks cheapest.

Dupple data: Toolradar, our software directory, tracks 163 app builders as of October 28, 2026, and the median cheapest paid plan across the 43 that publish a price is $25 a month (Toolradar app builders data). Bolt's Pro sits exactly on that median.
Is Bolt.new free?
Yes, and the Free plan is a real product, not a trial. You get public and private projects, unlimited databases and hosting on a bolt.host address, with no card required. What you do not get is volume.
The monthly pool is 1M tokens and the daily ceiling is 300K, and both bind. Our arithmetic: 1M divided by 300K is about 3.3, so four heavy days empty the month. Free tokens reset on the 1st of each calendar month and never roll over, according to Bolt's token documentation.
Hosting on Free is also capped hard. Bolt's hosting plans page lists 10 GB of bandwidth and 333,333 requests a month, and a site that crosses either limit goes offline until the next reset. Free sites also carry a "Made in Bolt" badge, and custom domains are not available.
One useful escape hatch: when you hit the daily cap, edits you make yourself in Code view use no tokens. If you can write a little code, Free stretches further than the numbers suggest.
How many tokens do you get on Bolt.new Pro?
Pro starts at 10M tokens a month at the entry price, and a slider in your account sets larger allocations at higher prices. Bolt's billing help uses two monthly examples: a Pro 50 plan at $50 a month with 26M tokens, and a Pro 100 plan at $100 a month with 55M tokens, per Bolt's billing page.
Those examples show the token rate improving as you climb. Our arithmetic: the entry plan works out to $2.50 per million tokens, Pro 50 to about $1.92, and Pro 100 to about $1.82. If you routinely run out mid-month, moving up one tier is cheaper per token than buying the entry plan and topping up.
How far the entry allocation goes depends on your project, and Bolt does not publish a "tokens per app" figure (our explainer on what a token is in AI covers the unit itself). It says most usage comes from syncing your project's files to the AI, so the larger the project, the more tokens each message costs. A fresh landing page and a 40-file dashboard can differ several times over for the same prompt.
Do unused Bolt tokens roll over?
On paid plans, yes. Unused tokens from a monthly allocation stay valid for two months from the start of the billing cycle in which you got them, and Bolt spends the oldest bucket first. So a quiet month gives you a cushion for the next one, not a bank you can draw on for a quarter.
Two rules can wipe that cushion out:
- Cancelling removes access to every token, rollover included, at the end of the billing cycle. Resubscribing before the old tokens expire brings them back.
- Downgrading to Free after a heavy month can lock you out: Bolt's example is a user who spent 3M tokens in July and has to wait until August 1 for free tokens.
Free accounts never roll anything over. Their tokens come in fixed one-month buckets.
How much is Bolt.new per year?
Bolt's toggle says yearly billing saves "up to 28%", and its billing help gives the exact figure for the entry plan: the Pro 10M annual plan costs $216 a year, which is $18 a month. The same page lists the Pro 26M annual plan at $540 a year.
| Plan | Monthly billing, 12 months | Annual billing | Saving (our arithmetic) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro, 10M tokens | $300 | $216 | $84 a year, 28% |
| Pro, 26M tokens | $600 | $540 | $60 a year, 10% |
Monthly totals are our arithmetic on Bolt's monthly prices; annual prices are from Bolt's billing help, read October 28, 2026.
The pattern matters: the 28% headline applies to the entry plan, and the discount shrinks as you move up the slider in Bolt's own examples. Before committing a year to a bigger tier, open the slider in your account with the annual toggle on and compare against twelve monthly payments.
Annual plans have one more rule worth knowing. You cannot move an annual plan back to monthly mid-term; you can only upgrade to a higher annual tier, charged pro rata on the whole months left.
Bolt.new Pro vs Teams: which do you need?
For a group, the choice is between separate Pro accounts and a Teams subscription. Take a 3-person team on monthly billing.
| Setup | Monthly cost | Yearly cost | Tokens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 separate Pro accounts | $75 | $900 | 10M each, managed separately |
| Teams, 3 members | $90 | $1,080 | 10M per member, admin-managed |
Our arithmetic on Bolt's monthly prices, October 28, 2026.
Teams costs $15 a month more for three people, or $180 a year. That buys centralized billing, team-level access management, admin controls with user provisioning, org-wide sharing, team templates, private NPM registries, design system knowledge and SSO, which Bolt's comparison table lists from Teams up.
What Teams does not buy is a shared token pool. Bolt's Teams billing page says each paid member gets their own monthly allotment and tokens are not shared between members. If one person builds all day and two people review, the reviewers' tokens sit idle. Pick Teams for control and SSO, not for pooling.
A solo founder's first month, Free vs Pro
Picture one founder building a booking app over four weeks, working most evenings and a couple of long Saturdays.
On Free, the daily cap is the first wall. A long Saturday session on a project that has grown past a few dozen files can reach it, and the 1M monthly pool runs dry after about four such days. After that the founder is back to hand-editing in Code view or waiting for the 1st.
On Pro, the daily cap disappears, and the monthly pool equals about 33 days at the Free daily ceiling (our arithmetic). The founder also gets a custom domain and drops the badge, both of which matter the day the app has its first real user. Paid monthly, that first month costs $25 before tax. On the yearly plan, it averages $18 a month but commits $216 upfront.
The honest middle path: start on Free to see how fast your project consumes tokens, then upgrade the week you either hit the daily cap twice or need a domain.
Is Bolt.new cheaper than v0?
At the entry level, yes. v0's pricing page lists Plus at $30 per user a month with $30 of monthly credits, Business at $100 per user a month, and a Free plan limited to 7 messages a day. Bolt Pro is $5 a month cheaper than v0 Plus for one builder.
The two meter usage differently, so the sticker gap is not the whole story. Bolt counts tokens against a fixed allocation, while v0 converts usage into dollar credits at per-model rates, so the cheaper tool depends on which models you pick in v0 and how large your Bolt project grows. Our v0 pricing breakdown walks through those rates.

Hidden costs to budget for
- Taxes. Paid prices exclude tax, so the card price can bill higher wherever sales tax applies to software.
- Token reloads. Only the highest individual monthly Pro plan and annual Pro plans can buy extra tokens; reloads never expire, but Bolt shows the price only inside your account and says annual higher tiers pay less per 10M tokens.
- Hosting overage. Paid plans include 30 GB of bandwidth and 1M requests a month, then pay-as-you-go up to a spending cap you set. Free sites go offline instead.
- Supabase needs a paid plan. Using a Supabase database requires Pro or Teams.
- Idle Teams seats. Each member is billed $30 whether they build or not, and their tokens cannot be lent to a busier teammate.
- Lost rollover. Cancel, and unused rollover tokens go with the billing cycle unless you resubscribe in time.
Is Bolt.new worth paying for?
For anyone shipping something public, yes. The Free plan is good for learning how Bolt thinks, but the badge, the missing custom domain and the hard hosting cutoff make it a poor home for a product with users. Pro fixes all three for one price.
Bolt's real weakness is predictability. Because cost per message rises with project size, the same plan feels generous in week one and tight in week six, and there is no per-app estimate to plan against. Re-prompting the same fix three times costs three times.
