Bolt.new Pricing 2026: Tokens, Pro and Teams Explained

Bolt.new costs $0 on Free (1M tokens a month, capped at 300K a day), $25/mo on Pro for 10M tokens, or $18/mo billed yearly, and $30 per member per month on Teams. Enterprise is a custom quote. Bigger Pro allotments cost more: Bolt's billing help lists 26M tokens at $50/mo and 55M at $100/mo. Prices read on Bolt's own pages, October 2026.

The sticker is the easy part. What decides a Bolt bill is how fast a project eats tokens, and Bolt says plainly that most token usage comes from syncing your project's file system to the AI, so a larger codebase costs more per message. A landing page and a full-stack app on the same plan can burn through the month at very different speeds.

Toolradar data: the AI coding ranking on Toolradar, the software directory we run, evaluated 179 AI coding tools as of October 2026, and Bolt on Toolradar is one of them.

Entry-tier and Teams prices come from Bolt's pricing page. The 26M and 55M steps and the $540 yearly figure come from Bolt's billing help, which uses them as worked examples. Both read October 19, 2026.

How much does Bolt.new cost per month?

On monthly billing, a solo builder starts on the 10M entry step, and the price roughly doubles with each step up. Bolt does not show the higher steps on the pricing card. You see them inside the app, under Subscription, by clicking the box that shows your monthly token amount. That makes the pricing page a floor, not a menu.

The ladder gets cheaper per token as you climb. Our arithmetic on Bolt's printed monthly prices puts the entry step at $2.50 per million tokens, the 26M step at about $1.92, and the 55M step at about $1.82. The biggest per-token saving is the first jump, from 10M to 26M, so a builder who regularly buys extra headroom should price that step before anything else.

Bolt's billing help also names a Pro 200 plan in its examples, without a price or token count. If you need more than 55M tokens a month, read the figure in the app before you commit.

Is the yearly plan worth it? It depends on the step

The yearly discount is not flat, and that changes which plan to commit to. The pricing page advertises "save up to 28%", and the entry step delivers exactly that, 28% off the monthly price when billed yearly. Bolt's billing help confirms the entry year at $216, against $300 over twelve monthly payments (our arithmetic).

Above the entry step, the discount shrinks to the 10% the billing help states. The 26M step is $540 a year, which Bolt's own example breaks down to $45 a month, against $50 on monthly billing. So "up to 28%" is true only on the smallest Pro allotment.

Yearly billing changes more than the price. Only the highest individual monthly Pro plan or any annual Pro plan can buy token reloads, and reload tokens do not expire. Bolt does not publish the reload price; it shows the cost in the app, and says higher annual tiers pay less per 10M tokens than lower ones. If you expect to top up, a yearly plan is the cheaper way in, because the only monthly plan with reloads is the top Pro step.

The trade-off is lock-in. Upgrading an annual plan mid-year charges the difference for the whole months left; Bolt's example moves from the 10M year to the 26M year in June and pays $189 for seven months. Downgrading an annual plan only takes effect at the next renewal, so a year you overbought stays overbought.

What do you get on Bolt's free plan?

Free gives 1M tokens a month with a hard cap of 300K tokens a day, public and private projects, website hosting, up to 333K web requests, unlimited databases and a 10MB file upload limit. Sites carry Bolt branding.

The daily cap is the real limit. At 300K a day, a free account can spend its whole month in four days at the cap (our arithmetic), and then waits for the 1st of the next calendar month, when free tokens reset. Free tokens never roll over. That is enough to judge whether Bolt's output suits your stack, and rarely enough for an app with a database and auth, since a bigger project syncs more files with every message.

Pro removes the daily cap, raises the upload limit to 100MB and web requests to 1M, and adds custom domains, private sharing, no branding, AI image editing and a choice of database provider. For a developer, the custom domain and the end of the daily cap are what justify the first paid month.

How do Bolt tokens roll over, and when do you lose them?

Unused Pro tokens roll over for one extra month, so each allocation is valid for two months from the start of the billing cycle it arrived in. Bolt spends the oldest tokens first. A quiet month is a cushion for a busy one, not a savings account.

Three rules can cost you tokens you already paid for:

• Cancelling. When a paid plan ends, you lose every allocated token, rollover included, at the end of the billing cycle. Resubscribe before the old tokens expire and you get them back.
• Upgrading mid-cycle. Tokens granted by an upgrade expire two months from the start of the cycle you upgraded in, not from the upgrade day. Upgrading late in a cycle gives the new tokens a shorter life.
• Teams. Each paid member gets their own allotment and tokens are not shared, so a heavy user on a team cannot borrow from a light one.

Paid plans reset tokens on your renewal date, not the 1st of the month, which matters if you plan a big build around the reset.

Bolt Pro vs Teams: what the extra per-seat money buys

Teams costs $5 more per person per month than entry Pro on monthly billing, and $9 more on yearly billing. In exchange you get centralized billing, team-level access management, admin controls and user provisioning, organization-wide sharing, private NPM registries and design system knowledge with per-package prompts.

What it does not buy is more generation. Each paid member gets a token allotment by tier, and members without a paid seat can view team projects but cannot prompt.

Here is a three-person team on Bolt's printed rates (our arithmetic):

On yearly billing, Teams costs 50% more than three solo Pro accounts for the same token count. That premium is worth paying when you need private NPM packages, a shared design system, or one invoice for finance. For three freelancers who only share a repo, separate Pro accounts are the cheaper setup.

Bolt.new vs Lovable and Replit on price

On monthly billing the entry plans sit close together. Lovable Pro costs the same as Bolt's entry step on monthly billing and buys 100 monthly credits. Replit Core is $20/mo with $20 of usage toward more powerful models, and its annual rate lands on the same monthly figure as Bolt's yearly Pro.

The units do not convert. Bolt sells tokens, Lovable sells credits and Replit sells a dollar usage balance, so the honest comparison is the work one month buys on your own project, not the sticker. Bolt's strength is that you can see the raw token count and budget against it; its weakness is that a growing codebase makes each message more expensive.

Our Lovable pricing and Replit pricing pages break down those ladders, and Replit vs Lovable compares the two head to head. For the whole category, see the best vibe coding tools ranking and the AI coding assistant pricing overview, and for numbers across the field, our AI coding statistics. How Bolt performs, rather than what it costs, is in the Bolt.new review, and the Lovable review does the same for its closest rival. Lovable on Toolradar and Replit on Toolradar hold the directory records.

Which Bolt plan should you pick?

• Testing whether Bolt fits your stack: Free, and expect the daily cap to end a session early.
• One person shipping a site or small app: entry Pro, yearly if you will use it all year, because that is where the 28% saving lives.
• Regularly running out before renewal: the 26M step, which lowers the per-token price more than any other move.
• A team that needs shared packages, admin and one invoice: Teams. Otherwise, separate Pro seats cost less.

FAQ

How much does Bolt.new cost in 2026?

Bolt.new is free for 1M tokens a month with a 300K daily cap. Pro starts at $25 a month for 10M tokens, or $18 a month billed yearly, and Teams is $30 per member per month. Bolt's billing help lists larger Pro steps at $50 a month for 26M tokens and $100 a month for 55M.

Do Bolt.new tokens expire?

Paid tokens roll over for one extra month, so each allocation lasts two months, and you lose all of them if you cancel and the billing cycle ends. Free tokens do not roll over. Reload tokens, available on annual Pro plans and the highest monthly Pro plan, do not expire.

Is Bolt.new free?

Yes. The Free plan includes 1M tokens a month, public and private projects, hosting and unlimited databases, with Bolt branding on sites and a 10MB upload limit. The daily cap of 300K tokens means a heavy user can spend the month in four days.

Can I buy more Bolt tokens without upgrading?

Only on an annual Pro plan or the highest monthly Pro plan, through Reload tokens in your subscription settings. Bolt shows the reload price in the app rather than on its pricing page, and says upgrading to a higher plan is usually the most cost-effective way to get more tokens.

Is Bolt Teams cheaper than individual Pro accounts?

No. Teams costs more per person than entry Pro on both monthly and yearly billing, and each member still gets a separate token allotment. You pay the difference for centralized billing, admin controls, private NPM registries and shared design system knowledge.

Why do my Bolt tokens run out so fast?

Bolt says most token usage comes from syncing your project's file system to the AI, so the larger the project, the more tokens each message uses. A small prototype and a large app on the same plan burn tokens at very different rates.
