About Bolt.new
Bolt.new transforms natural language descriptions into fully functional full-stack applications entirely in your browser. Powered by StackBlitz's WebContainers and Anthropic's Claude AI, it generates React, Tailwind, Node.js, and database code without any local setup.
February 2026 updates include integration of Claude Opus 4.6 (Feb 3) for more powerful AI capabilities and "Cloud Code" agents for faster builds and smarter prompts. Bolt Cloud now provides built-in hosting, domains, databases, and analytics—consolidating infrastructure and reducing reliance on third-party tools. User management and authentication are built-in.
The platform supports React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Astro, Vite, and Remix frameworks. Figma and GitHub imports bridge design-to-code and version control workflows. AI-powered error detection monitors for issues and suggests fixes. The visual editor provides real-time live previews during generation.
Free tier (300K tokens/day, 1M/month) allows experimentation with Bolt branding. Pro ($20/mo) unlocks 10M tokens/month with no daily limits, removes branding, and enables NPM packages and database connections. Teams ($30-40/user/mo) adds shared workspaces and admin controls. Unused paid tokens roll over for one additional month (since July 2025).

Alternatives to Bolt.new
v0.dev
Better for React/Tailwind UI generation with Vercel deployment. AI SDK 6 agents and AI Gateway provide more model choices. $2 daily login bonus on paid plans.
Cursor
Full desktop IDE with deeper AI integration. Better for professional developers who need long-running agents, async subagents, and multi-model support.
GitHub Copilot
Extension for existing IDEs with tight GitHub integration. Better for teams already using GitHub with Copilot Workspace for issue-to-PR automation.
Claude Code
CLI-first agent for terminal-oriented developers. Agent Teams enable collaborative coding. Better for complex backend development and large codebase work.
Editor's Review
Editor's Review (February 2026)
Bolt.new continues to lead the "vibe coding" category. The February 2026 addition of Claude Opus 4.6 and Bolt Cloud hosting represents a significant maturation—you can now build AND deploy entirely within the platform.
What We Love:
• Bolt Cloud provides built-in hosting, domains, databases, and analytics
• Claude Opus 4.6 (Feb 3) generates more complex and accurate code
• Cloud Code agents deliver faster builds with smarter prompts
• Figma import and GitHub integration bridge professional workflows
• Token rollover since July 2025 prevents waste
What Could Be Better:
• Complex backend logic still requires manual refinement for production
• Limited to JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem
• Token usage can surprise you on complex projects
Who Should Use It:
Non-technical founders, indie hackers, and anyone who wants to build and deploy without infrastructure knowledge. Designers will love Figma import. Bolt Cloud eliminates the hosting setup barrier entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What is Bolt Cloud?
Bolt Cloud provides built-in hosting, domains, databases, and analytics directly within the Bolt.new platform. It consolidates infrastructure so you can build, host, and deploy entirely from your browser without third-party services.
Q:Which AI models does Bolt.new use?
As of February 2026, Bolt.new uses Claude Opus 4.6 (added Feb 3, 2026) as its most powerful model, along with Cloud Code agents for faster builds. Earlier Claude models (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus 4.5) remain available.
Q:Do unused tokens roll over?
Yes! Since July 2025, unused tokens from paid subscriptions roll over for one additional month. This prevents waste if you have a lighter usage month.
Q:Can I import Figma designs?
Yes—Bolt.new supports Figma import, allowing designers to convert designs directly into functional web code. GitHub import is also available for integrating existing repositories.
