The lean-stack take

For a lean startup team it shortens the build step of build-measure-learn. A founder can put a working MVP in front of users and change it after each round of feedback.

Best for

Founders and product teams who want a working, coded MVP built from prompts that developers can take over later.

Watch out for

Third-party pricing guides describe Bolt plans in terms of tokens, so estimate how much prompting a typical change uses before you pick a plan.

About

About Bolt.new

Bolt, at bolt.new, is an AI builder for websites, apps and prototypes from StackBlitz. You describe what you want in a chat, and Bolt writes and runs the code in the browser.

Written by lean-stack from Bolt.new's public pages. Vendors can replace it with their own description by claiming this profile.

Features

What Bolt.new offers

Building from prompts

Bolt builds websites, apps and prototypes from chat prompts, according to its home page. Short build cycles help a team test an idea quickly.

Bolt Cloud hosting

A help article describes Bolt Cloud as built-in hosting, domains and database. An MVP can go live without a separate hosting account.

Built-in database

A help article covers adding and managing a built-in database in a project. An MVP can then store sign-ups or orders from early users.

Stripe payments

The help center has an article on Stripe for payments. Taking real payments tests demand more directly than collecting sign-ups.

Expo mobile apps

An article covers Expo for mobile apps. A team can test a mobile MVP as well as a web one.

GitHub version control

A help article covers GitHub for version control. Code kept in GitHub can pass to developers once the idea is validated.

Figma designs

The help center has an article on Figma for design. Designers can build on mockups the team has already shown to users.

Team collaboration

Help pages cover collaborating with others, and a vendor blog post describes a Bolt Teams plan. Several people can work on the same experiment.
