Frequently Asked Questions

What can I build with Bolt.new?

Pretty much any web app — landing pages, dashboards, internal tools, full-stack apps with databases. You describe what you want in plain English, and Bolt scaffolds the code, sets up a live preview, and handles deployment. It's great for prototyping ideas fast.

How is Bolt.new different from Replit or Cursor?

Bolt.new is focused specifically on going from a prompt to a deployed web app as fast as possible — it's more of a builder than a general IDE. Replit gives you a full cloud coding environment, and Cursor is a code editor with AI assistance. Bolt is the fastest path from idea to working prototype.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan gives you 1M tokens per month, public and private projects, website hosting, and unlimited databases. The main limits are a 300K daily token cap and Bolt branding on your sites. Pro at $25/mo removes those limits and adds token rollover.
