Summary
Bolt is a browser-based AI builder from StackBlitz that turns prompts into JavaScript websites, web apps and prototypes. Projects run in an in-browser WebContainer sandbox and ship through built-in hosting, databases and domains.
- Best for
- Founders, designers and developers who want a working, deployed full-stack app straight from a prompt, Figma frame or Google Stitch design, with zero local setup.
- Not for
- Teams that need a programmatic API to drive builds from their own code, or buyers who want assurance of responsive customer support before paying, given the vendor's current 1.5/5 Trustpilot record.
- From
- Freethen $25 monthly · $18 billed annually
- Free tier
- Yes$0 plan: 300K tokens daily and 1M tokens monthly with no rollover, Standard agent only, Bolt branding on published sites, 10MB uploads, up to 333k web requests, no custom domains.
What it does
- Writes code
- YesGenerates whole websites and apps from a chat prompt.
Bolt uses an AI agent to plan your project, write code, and troubleshoot as you build.
support.bolt.new/building/using-bolt/ag… - Debugs and fixes
- YesIterates on its own errors and applies fixes it finds, including security fixes.
Bolt automatically tests, refactors, and iterates reducing errors so you keep building instead of fixing.
bolt.new - Reviews code
- PartlyAudits your own project's code and database on paid plans; it does not review a diff someone else wrote.
Project security audit: Reviews your whole project, including your code and database, fixes what it can, and flags anything you need to handle.…
support.bolt.new/building/security.md - Whole-codebase work
- PartlyThe Max agent targets large codebases and refactors, but Max is Pro-only and Bolt supports only JavaScript/Node projects.
Max thinks more about each step, which makes a difference when the task involves working through large codebases with complex dependencies or solving…
support.bolt.new/building/using-bolt/ag… - Ships it
- YesPublishes to a hosted bolt.host address; custom domains on paid plans.
Open the Publish menu and click Publish. Bolt hosts your site for free at a bolt.host address, and using the Publish button itself doesn't use any…

How much it does unattended
- Runs autonomously
- PartlyRuns a full build or a security fix end to end from one instruction, but work proceeds prompt by prompt in chat.
Turn it on once and Bolt reviews every app before it goes live. When an issue is found, one button analyzes it, applies the fix, and publishes the…
bolt.new/platform/security - Multi-agent
- NoTwo agents are offered and you pick one per project; they do not coordinate.
Bolt offers two agents, Standard and Max, powered by large language models. You choose the agent that matches your work, and Bolt handles model…
support.bolt.new/building/using-bolt/ag… - Agent permissions
- PartlyPlan Mode discusses without touching code; MCP connector tools can be individually disabled, but Build Mode edits files without per-change approval.
Bolt has a chat mode called Plan Mode where you can plan and ask questions without making changes to your code.

Where you use it
- In your editor
- NoBrowser only; there is no editor extension, and Code View is Bolt's own in-browser editor.
No. Bolt is a browser-based tool. Sign up at bolt.new and start building right away. No setup or installation is required
support.bolt.new/concepts/faq.md - On the command line
- NoNo terminal client exists.
Bolt doesn't currently have a public API, CLI, or SDK to control it programmatically from outside the product.
support.bolt.new/concepts/faq.md - In your pipeline
- NoBolt commits to GitHub but cannot be invoked from CI or act on a pull request itself.
Bolt doesn't currently have a public API, CLI, or SDK to control it programmatically from outside the product.
support.bolt.new/concepts/faq.md - In a browser
- YesThe whole product is a hosted web app running projects in a browser WebContainer.
Bolt executes your project client-side, inside your browser, in an isolated WebContainer environment.

Whose machine it runs on
- Self-hosted

What it costs to run
- How it meters
- YesMetered in AI tokens against a monthly allowance, plus a per-member seat charge on Teams; reload token packs are sold on top.
Bolt consumes tokens when it reads, thinks about, and builds your project.
support.bolt.new/account-and-subscripti… - Free tier
- YesFree plan with a 300K daily and 1M monthly token cap, no call required.
Tokens: You get 300K tokens per day, up to a maximum of 1 million tokens a month. Unused tokens don't roll over.
support.bolt.new/concepts/faq.md - API access
- NoNo public API, on any plan.
Bolt doesn't currently have a public API, CLI, or SDK to control it programmatically from outside the product.
support.bolt.new/concepts/faq.md - MCP server
- NoBolt is an MCP client that connects out to servers; it exposes no MCP server another agent could query.
When you connect an MCP server, Bolt can directly interact with your applications and data while chatting.
support.bolt.new/building/using-bolt/co… - Bring your own key
- PartlyEnterprise "BYOK" means your own cloud tenant, not your own model keys; no bring-your-own inference on any plan.

bolt.new/enterprise
Buying it for a team
- A company can buy it
- YesTeams plan bills centrally per member; Enterprise is quoted and supports procurement.
Centralized billing
bolt.new/pricing - Seat model
- YesPer-member seats on Teams with no published floor or ceiling; vacated seats can be reused at the next billing anniversary.
When you downgrade or remove a team member, Bolt can reuse that seat for a different member instead of adding a new one to your subscription.
support.bolt.new/account-and-subscripti… - Pooled budget
- NoEach member holds their own token allocation; nothing is shared.
Tokens are assigned to each team member and stay linked to the person who accrued them.
support.bolt.new/account-and-subscripti… - Admin controls
- YesTeam admins fix default member roles, deploy provider, site visibility, external collaboration, and can switch off the GitHub, Stripe and Supabase integrations team-wide.
Controls whether team members can integrate their projects with GitHub, Stripe, and Supabase. By default, each integration control is on... This…
support.bolt.new/settings/team-settings… - Audit log
- PartlyAudit logs are named only in the Enterprise column; Teams gets admin controls without them.
Advanced security (SSO, audit logs, compliance support)
bolt.new/pricing - Single sign-on
- PartlySAML SSO with Okta and Azure AD is Enterprise-only.
SSO with Okta, Azure AD, and all major SAML providers

What happens to your code
- Opt out of training
- PartlyEnterprise and Team customers under an MSA or DPA are excluded from model training; for everyone else the privacy policy makes opt-out plan-dependent.
Enterprise and Team customers under an MSA or DPA are excluded from model training and data sharing.
bolt.new/enterprise - Data residency
- PartlyProcessing is US-based with no region choice on standard plans; Enterprise BYOK keeps data in your own AWS or Azure tenant.
Bolt is headquartered in the United States, and personal information may be transferred to, processed, and stored in countries outside of your…
stackblitz.com/privacy-policy - Getting out
- PartlyCode leaves via automatic GitHub sync and Teams admins export usage and member CSVs, but plan tokens expire two months after issue and are lost on cancellation; only purchased reload tokens never expire.
When you cancel your paid plan, you lose access to all allocated tokens (including rollover tokens) when the billing cycle ends.
support.bolt.new/account-and-subscripti… - Certifications
- YesSOC 2 Type 2 certified, GDPR and CCPA compliant, with pentest summaries on request.
Bolt is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and compliant with GDPR and CCPA. Full audit details and policies are available on our trust profile.
