Bolt.new

Bolt.new is an AI app builder that turns chat prompts into full-stack websites and apps inside the browser. It writes the code, runs it, and publishes the finished project with a database and authentication.

Who it's for

Best for

  • Founders and product managers prototyping a full app in an afternoon
  • Solo developers mocking up an app in the browser without local setup

Not for

  • Teams running a business-critical site that needs fast human support
  • Developers building complex apps that cannot risk stalls or rogue AI edits

Pro$25/mo
Teams$30/seat/mo

Features

  • Automatic model routing

    Each task is routed to the model best suited to it, balancing output quality against token cost without manual model selection.

  • Built-in backend and hosting

    Bolt Cloud bundles hosting, databases, authentication, integrations, custom domains and analytics in one interface, with no extra accounts to set up.

  • Self-testing agent

    The coding agent tests, refactors and iterates on its own output to reduce errors before a project ships.

  • Large-project context

    Built-in context management is designed to keep large, complex projects running smoothly as they grow.

  • Start from Figma, GitHub or a template

    A new project can begin from a prompt, a Figma file, a GitHub repository or a team template.

What users say

Pros

  • Apps built from prompts alone come out fully functional with minimal manual coding.
  • Turns rough feature ideas into working prototypes fast, replacing week-long build-and-discard cycles.

Cons

  • Tickets sat unanswered for a week while a deleted project stayed offline and only a bot replied.
  • The agent removed a security layer without asking and ignored an explicit instruction to stop.
  • Fast early progress stalls on demanding projects, occasionally forcing a full rebuild outside the tool.
  • The Pro price shown on the pricing page flipped between two different amounts on repeat visits.
