Living Product Passport · Current first-party buyer analysis
Bolt.new review: plans, tokens, hosting and data boundaries
Bolt.new is StackBlitz’s browser-based AI builder for creating, running and publishing full-stack web applications from natural-language instructions.
Bolt combines an unusually fast browser build loop with integrated hosting, but token use grows with project context. Buyers should compare the selected token tier, hosting limits and team-member count—not just the headline plan name.
Bolt.new is the product; StackBlitz is the operator
StackBlitz, Inc. operates Bolt.new. StackBlitz’s WebContainers runtime powers the browser development environment. Bolt Cloud, agents, hosting, databases and generated apps are product components or outputs, not alternate company or product identities.
Published prices are entry configurations
Official USD references are time-bound and can vary with the selected token tier, annual billing, taxes and promotions.
| Configuration | Official reference | Buyer boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1M monthly tokens; 300K daily limit |
| Pro 10M | $25/month | Personal plan; token-based |
| Pro 50 (26M tokens) | $50/month | Current billing example |
| Pro 10M annual | $216/year | Monthly 10M refill |
| Teams 10M | $30/member/month | Per-member tokens; not pooled |
| Enterprise | Custom | Security, governance and support |
Project context drives token cost
Most token use comes from Bolt reading and synchronizing project files, so larger projects can consume more per message. Free includes one million monthly tokens with a 300,000 daily limit. Free tokens do not roll over. Paid subscription tokens can remain valid for up to two months while an active paid subscription continues.
The paid-plan price changes with the selected monthly token amount. A plan name without its token tier is not a complete cost comparison.
Hosting limits can stop a live site
Free hosting
Up to 10 GB bandwidth and 333,333 requests monthly. Sites stop serving after the hard limit until reset.
Pro hosting
Up to 30 GB and one million requests monthly, with pay-as-you-go capacity controlled by a spending cap.
Publishing
All users can publish to a free .bolt.host domain. Paid plans add custom-domain and private-sharing features.
Security responsibility
Bolt scans published projects, but buyers still need to review database permissions, dependencies, secrets and application logic.
Project data is excluded from agent training; de-identified improvement use remains
Bolt documentation says project data is not used to train AI agents. The Privacy Policy separately permits aggregated, anonymized or de-identified AI Inputs and Outputs to operate, maintain and improve the service. Relevant prompt attachments may be sent to contracted AI providers to generate responses.
Retention is category-specific
- Active-account information and content remain while the account is active and as needed for service and legal purposes.
- After voluntary closure, deletion or anonymization is promised within 30 days, subject to backups, legal duties, security and fraud controls.
- Residual backup and log copies may persist for a limited period.
Your content remains yours; generated code still needs review
The StackBlitz Terms do not claim ownership of user-submitted data, but users remain responsible for legality, ownership and third-party rights. The current Terms expressly grant commercial service use to Teams and Enterprise customers; they do not promise that every dependency or generated output is universally cleared.
Bolt warns that underlying models can produce inaccurate or outdated results. Test the application, inspect dependencies and review security before production use.
How Kingy verified this record
Reviewer: Curtis Pyke. Nine current first-party Bolt and StackBlitz sources were reviewed signed out on August 31, 2026 and normalized into 101 Product Facts with 101/101 direct evidence bindings.
Curtis Pyke, CEO, attested on September 1, 2026 that Kingy had no sponsorship, affiliate, supplied-access, client, compensated, in-kind or other commercial relationship with Bolt.new, StackBlitz or their agents for this artifact cluster, and that Kingy retained independent editorial control. All related Kingy records remain excluded from Product Facts evidence, independent-test claims, rankings and performance conclusions.

Buyer questions
Is Bolt.new free?
Yes. Free includes one million monthly tokens with a 300,000 daily limit and free hosting, subject to traffic limits.
Why can Bolt token use vary?
Bolt reads and synchronizes project files for context, so larger projects can use more tokens per message.
Does Bolt train agents on project data?
Bolt documentation says it does not use project data to train AI agents. The Privacy Policy still permits aggregated, anonymized or de-identified data for service improvement.
Can Bolt apps be used commercially?
The reviewed Terms expressly grant commercial service use to active Teams and Enterprise customers. Buyers must still clear third-party dependencies and output rights.

Launch History
Bolt.new AI-powered full-stack web development in the browser
StackBlitz launched Bolt.new, a browser-based AI app builder that can generate, run, edit, and deploy full-stack web apps using WebContainers.
- Launch readiness
- 7.5 / 10
- Demo evidence

- Creator-story fit

Score definitions and rubric
These are launch-record readiness heuristics, not product ratings.
Launch readiness
How complete and reviewable the launch record is, not the quality of the product.
Inputs and weights: Launch date 15%; qualifying source 10%; what launched 10%; demo 15%; category 10%; audience 10%; editorial assessment 10%; traction evidence 10%; creator or audience fit 10%.
Evidence inputs: Reviewed launch metadata, public source links, demo links, taxonomy, audience, editorial notes, and recorded traction signals.
Demo evidence
Whether the record contains useful, reviewable demonstration evidence; it is not a rating of product output quality.
Inputs and weights: Working demo URL 45%; video walkthrough 25%; clear description of what launched 10%; audience 10%; editorial assessment 10%.
Evidence inputs: Demo and video URLs plus the reviewed launch description, audience, and editorial notes.
Creator-story fit
Whether a launch has enough demonstrable evidence and audience relevance for a useful creator story; it does not predict views or guarantee coverage.
Inputs and weights: Demo evidence 25%; visual creator category 15%; audience 15%; editorial assessment 15%; traction evidence 10%; pricing clarity 10%; API or open-weight evidence 10%.
Evidence inputs: Reviewed demo, category, audience, editorial, traction, pricing, API, and open-weight fields.
- Scale
- 0.0–10.0. A present qualifying input receives its published weight; a missing input receives zero. Scores are rounded to one decimal.
- Assigned by
- Suggested by the deterministic field-completeness helper and assigned or approved by a Kingy editorial reviewer.
- Rubric and check date
- Rubric version P0-2026-08-10. The record’s “Last verified” date is the score check date. Checked: 2026-06-08.
- Confidence and missing data
- Confidence depends on source completeness. “Not scored yet” means no reviewed value; “Needs review” means the value or score set failed validation.
- Freshness
- Recalculate after a material launch, source, demo, pricing, audience, or traction change and during the record freshness review.
- Disputes
- Use “Suggest a correction” on the record and cite the relevant evidence. Commercial relationships cannot buy or alter a score.
