Bolt cost: what you actually pay
The $25/$30 sticker buys a subscription plus a token allowance, not a fixed workload — a single non-trivial app can burn 1-3M of the 10M included tokens, and reloads cost $20 per 10M once you run dry.

| Teams | $30 / seat/moPer-member token allotments are separate, not pooled across the team; annual discount available but exact $/seat not confirmed on-page | monthly or annual | 10M+ tokens per member/mo, centralized billing, admin/access controls, private NPM registries, Design System support |
| Enterprise | Custom | custom | SSO, audit logs, dedicated account manager, 24/7 priority support, custom workflows, data governance |
Tokens meter both input and output, and Bolt resyncs the whole codebase into context on each prompt, so burn rate accelerates as a project grows. Rough consumption per third-party analysis: small edits ~50-150K tokens/prompt, medium features 150-500K, a complete simple app ~3M tokens total. Paid-plan token reloads cost $20 per 10M and never expire; Teams allocates tokens per seat rather than pooling them.

Where the real Bolt cost hides
The sticker is the smallest part of the story. For Bolt, these are the line items that quietly inflate the bill:
- The 1M free monthly tokens can vanish in one active build session; a simple complete app alone can run ~3M tokens
- Token cost per action isn't published, so there's no way to budget a task before running it
- Full codebase is resent as context every prompt, so cost per message rises as the project grows
- Teams tokens are allocated per seat and don't pool, so one heavy builder can hit a wall while teammates have unused balance
What an audit finds on Bolt
Vibe-coding iteration (prompt, broken build, re-prompt to fix) multiplies spend because each retry resends the growing codebase as context; teams often provision multiple $30 seats that each independently hit token ceilings rather than sharing one pool.
Bolt pricing FAQ
Is $25/mo the real cost of using Bolt Pro?
No — that buys the subscription plus an initial 10M token pool. Active projects often exhaust it before the month ends, at which point extra tokens cost $20 per 10M.
Do unused tokens roll over?
Pro and Teams tokens roll over for one additional month. Free tier's daily/monthly tokens do not roll over and reset entirely if you cancel.
