Problems it solves
About Bolt.new+
Bolt.new, from StackBlitz, lets you describe a website or app in a chat and builds it in your browser, with hosting on a bolt.host address and a built-in database. It is aimed at people who want fast results and can cope with some technical trial and error. It is priced by tokens rather than by seat, so the free plan runs out quickly on larger projects, and Bolt does not publish a nonprofit discount.
Pricing: Free plan has a 300K daily and 1M monthly token limit. Pro is US$25 a month with at least 10M tokens a month, custom domains and larger uploads. Teams is US$30 per member a month. Enterprise is quote only. Yearly billing saves up to 28%. Tokens used up by fixing mistakes still count.

AI features+
The product is AI: it generates and edits code from prompts, and can add AI-powered features to your app.
Data & privacy+
Bolt says it is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and complies with GDPR and CCPA, with encryption at rest and in transit. Team and Enterprise customers under a contract or data processing agreement are excluded from model training; other users may need to opt out in account settings. The certification covers Bolt's platform, not the security of the app you build.
