Bolt Tokens & Spend Checklist

Look forBuy Pro for one person; Lite, a US$9 monthly plan for Bolt Forge's open-source models, closed to new sign-ups on October 14, 2026, and its subscribers keep it at US$9. Pro costs US$25 a month billed monthly, or US$18 a month billed yearly, for 10M tokens, and higher tiers include US$50 for 26M and US$100 for 55M. Buy Teams for a group at US$30 per member a month, or US$27 billed yearly. Each paid member gets their own allotment and Teams does not pool tokens, so a heavy builder cannot draw on a light builder's balance. From November 1, 2026, Link, a payment service built by Stripe, bills Bolt plan and domain subscriptions and adds sales tax or VAT where a region requires it. Prices and token allowances stay the same. To keep billing through Bolt, use the opt-out link in Bolt's notification email by October 28, 2026.

Look forMost tokens go to Bolt reading, understanding, and syncing the project's files, so larger projects cost more per message. The Max agent uses more than Standard, and dynamic reasoning and image generation add more. Each connector adds context to every request, so turn connectors on only when needed. Every click on Attempt fix is another charge.

Look forUse the controls that cost nothing: the Publish button, version history restores, code editor edits, terminal commands, and the security audit from the Publish menu. Visual edits on the running app are free until you save them. Prompting Bolt to publish, revert, or audit spends tokens for the same result.

Look forClear context with /clear when a feature is done, and keep long-lived rules in project knowledge so you don't repeat them. Remove unused files and record-keeping Markdown, and split files over about 700 lines. Bolt's docs suggest running Knip in the terminal to find unused files at no token cost. On a 15,000-line app, one builder found much of the token spend going to recovering from regressions.

Look forMonthly tokens on a paid plan stay valid for two months from the start of the cycle that issued them, and only while the subscription is active. Canceling ends access at the end of the cycle. Free tokens do not roll over. Reloads are sold on the top monthly Pro tier and on any annual Pro plan, and they never expire. Teams tokens stay with the member who received them. One builder paused a project to write documentation and came back to find the saved balance gone.

Look forSet a hosting spending limit on every account. Paid plans include 30 GB of data transfer and 1M requests a month across all of an account's sites, with pay-as-you-go above that up to the limit. At the cap, sites pause until the cycle resets. Free sites go offline at 10 GB or 333,333 requests until the next month.

Look forOnly for builders who already have it. Forge runs on open-source models with a larger, separate allowance. Pro plans lost Forge and that allowance when the research preview ended on October 14, 2026, and the US$9-a-month Lite plan stopped taking sign-ups the same day. Builders who subscribed to Lite by then keep Forge at that price. Teams and Enterprise plans never included it, and Forge sessions outside the EEA, UK, and Switzerland share de-identified prompts and code with Bolt's partners to train open-source models.
