FAQs about Bolt: 

What is bolt.new used for?

Bolt is used to build, run, and deploy full-stack applications in the browser using natural language prompts. It takes your idea, turns it into working code, and gives you a live preview, without making you install packages, spin up servers, or touch a local setup. It's built for rapid prototyping and production-ready apps alike, which makes it a solid AI tool whether you're testing a new idea or getting ready to launch.

What's Bolt Cloud, and how can it help non-coders?

Bolt Cloud is the built-in backend infrastructure that covers hosting, databases, backend logic, user authentication, file storage, and server functions. For non-coders, this eases the web development process, eliminating the need for a local setup, separate tools, and technical know-how just to get a project off the ground.

With Bolt Cloud, you just describe what you want to build, press enter, and the platform handles everything, from database to backend logic. There’s no need to install packages, configure servers, or piece together custom integrations on your own.

What can you create with bolt.new?

With Bolt, you can build modern full-stack applications using frameworks like Next.js and other current web technologies. You can create dynamic websites, SaaS tools, internal tools, landing pages, and database-driven platforms. And you can do all this from just a few prompts.

Because Bolt now includes Bolt Cloud, your projects can go from prototype to live product without switching tools. This feature is a huge deal for non-coders and experienced developers, as it saves time and eliminates repetitive tasks that slow most app-building processes.

Which AI does bolt.new use?

Bolt runs on Anthropic's Claude large language models (LLMs), which handle all the AI-powered code generation, editing, and error detection inside the platform. Claude reads your prompts, builds out the full app structure and backend logic, and auto-fixes issues as they come up.

You can also choose Claude Opus 4.6 for deeper reasoning on complex apps, or dial it down for lighter, faster builds. Either way, you're always working with real, editable source code, not a locked-down output you can't touch.

Is Replit better than bolt.new?

Replit and Bolt are different tools built for different needs. Replit is a general coding platform where you write and manage custom code yourself, and it supports many programming languages. It has a steep learning curve for beginners, but gives experienced developers a lot of control over complex applications.

Bolt, on the other hand, focuses on AI-powered app development for the web. You describe what you want, press enter, and Bolt generates working apps with production-ready code, backend and database included. It's a better fit if you’re looking for a no-code platform that can build apps fast, and it also lets you skip the local setup.

How much is bolt.new?

Bolt's Free plan lets you get started at no cost. It gives you 1 million tokens per month and the ability to create both private and public projects. Though it’s great for learning and rapid prototyping, the tokens can be limiting if you're iterating heavily.

For paid plans, here's what each one includes:

• Pro plan (starts at $25/month): Includes 10 million tokens per month, custom domain support, and no Bolt branding on deployed sites. Unused tokens roll over for one month, with higher tiers available at $50, $100, and $200/month for bigger workloads.
• Teams plan ($30 per user/month): Everything in Pro, plus shared workspaces, centralized billing, admin controls, security scans, private NPM registries, and reusable team templates.
• Enterprise plan (custom pricing): Everything in Teams, plus SSO, audit logs, compliance support, dedicated account support, and custom deployment pipelines. Reach out to Bolt directly for pricing details.
