Bolt measures work in tokens, which it uses when it reads your prompt and project files, plans and writes code, and it publishes the allowances plainly. The free plan gives 1 million tokens a month with a 300,000 daily cap, website hosting, unlimited databases and up to 333,000 web requests, though sites carry Bolt branding. Pro costs $25 a month on monthly billing, removes the daily cap, starts at 10 million tokens a month and lets unused tokens stay in your balance for up to two months. It also adds custom domains, private sharing, AI image editing and a choice of database provider. Teams adds centralized billing, admin controls and private npm registry support at $30 per member, but tokens are per member rather than pooled. Yearly billing saves up to 28%. Bolt is less suited to native mobile apps than builders that ship to app stores.
