Frequently Asked Questions

Does Bolt.new have a free plan?

Yes. Bolt.new offers a free tier that includes a monthly token allowance, making it suitable for experimenting and small projects without any upfront cost.

What types of apps can I build with Bolt.new?

You can build full-stack web applications, marketing websites, SaaS prototypes, internal tools, and more — anything that can be expressed as a web-based product, complete with database, auth, and hosting.

Do I need coding experience to use Bolt.new?

No. You describe what you want in plain English and Bolt generates the code. That said, developers can also access and edit the underlying code directly in the browser IDE for deeper customisation.

How does Bolt.new's pricing model work?

Bolt.new uses a token-based model where each AI generation consumes tokens. Different plans offer different monthly token allowances — higher-tier plans unlock larger quotas, and annual billing provides a discount.

Can I export my project or connect it to GitHub?

Yes. Bolt.new supports GitHub integration so you can push your generated project to a repository, giving you full ownership of the code and the ability to continue development in any environment.
