Who it is for
Websites, apps and prototypes built in the browser.
Who can claim it?
A free account and compliance with platform terms are required. Hosting and project limits also apply.
Limitations of the free tier
Free websites retain Bolt branding. A token count does not translate into a guaranteed number of completed screens or features, and the daily cap can stop work before the monthly allowance is exhausted.
Billing and renewal
The free plan has daily and monthly limits. Paid-plan rollover rules are separate from the free allowance.
