Bolt tokens, translated

Bolt.new free plan and tokens: what 1 million tokens means

One million sounds generous until a growing codebase has to be read on every turn. The free plan is a good test, but token count is not a reliable count of prompts or finished features.

Quick answer

Bolt's free plan includes 300,000 tokens a day, capped at 1 million a month, plus hosting, public and private projects and unlimited databases. Free sites keep Bolt branding. Pro starts at $25 a month with 10 million monthly tokens, custom domains, no Bolt branding and one additional month of token rollover while the subscription remains active.

The daily limit and monthly limit both apply

The free plan does not provide a fresh 300,000 tokens for every day of a thirty-day month. You can use at most 300,000 on one day and at most 1 million across the month. Three heavy sessions can consume most of the monthly pool even though the daily limit resets.

Hosting, databases and both public and private projects are included at the free entry point. The visible tradeoffs are Bolt branding, smaller uploads and lower request capacity, alongside the AI token ceiling.

Why a short prompt can still use many tokens

Bolt says most token use comes from synchronising the project's file system to the model. As the project grows, the agent has more context to read before it can safely change anything. A five-word request in a mature app can therefore cost more than a detailed request in a new one.

Keep work bounded. Finish one route or feature before opening another, remove abandoned experiments and ask for a plan before a risky cross-project change. Token discipline is mostly project discipline.

What the $25 Pro plan changes

Pro removes the daily token cap and starts with 10 million monthly tokens. It also removes site branding, raises upload and request limits, supports private sharing and custom domains, and expands database options.

Paid subscription tokens can roll over for one additional month, but only while the paid subscription stays active. Rollover reduces end-of-month waste; it does not turn the balance into a permanent asset.

Free Bolt is for proving a build loop

Use the free allowance on a representative application, not a toy landing page. Test a database write, one deployment, a mobile state and a correction that touches existing code. That tells you how Bolt behaves once the first generation is over.

If you already have an approved reference page and only need an editable implementation, a fixed website-copying job can be easier to price. Bolt earns its subscription when the product logic and continuing agent work matter.

Straight answers

Questions people actually ask

Is Bolt.new free?

Yes. The free plan includes 300,000 tokens per day and 1 million per month, along with hosting and databases. Free published sites retain Bolt branding.

How many prompts is 1 million Bolt tokens?

There is no dependable prompt count. Bolt reads project files as context, so a larger codebase can use far more tokens for the same-looking request.

Do Bolt tokens roll over?

Paid subscription tokens roll over for one additional month while an active paid subscription remains in place. Free tokens do not create a permanent balance.

How much is Bolt Pro?

Bolt Pro starts at $25 per month billed monthly with 10 million tokens as of August 13, 2026.
