What I like most about Bolt.new is how quickly it can turn an idea into a working web application. I can describe the features I want in plain English, and within minutes it generates a clean project structure along with the UI and core functionality. It also integrates smoothly with modern tools like Firebase, and it’s easy to iterate by refining prompts rather than rewriting code from scratch. As someone who builds prototypes and college projects, it has noticeably reduced my development time while still giving me the flexibility to customize the application whenever I need to.

One drawback of Bolt.new is that token usage can climb quickly on larger projects or after several iterations, which can make the pricing feel steep for frequent users. At times, the AI also needs multiple prompts to produce exactly what I’m looking for, and that ends up consuming even more tokens. Even though it’s excellent for rapid prototyping, I’d really like clearer, more transparent token tracking, better optimization for longer conversations, and more affordable pricing tiers for developers and students building complex applications.

Bolt.new is a platform where I can do end-to-end prototyping and delivery, so I can show clients my work and help them visualize my ideas and overall approach. The UX experience on Bolt.new feels responsive, and the onboarding is easy. It supports various pricing options, and it also offers custom enterprise support for customization.

After Bolt generates a response, creating an app, website, or presentation is straightforward, and integrations are easy to set up. Compared to other platforms, it generates quality outputs that satisfy my requirements. The AI intelligence on the website is pretty impressive, and Bolt.new has increased my productivity and performance when generating websites for rapid prototyping.

Bolt.new takes a long time to generate a website. I’d like to see the generation time improved so the outputs are produced faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I started using Bolt when it first came out, and it was the very first vibe-coding platform I ever tried. As a first-time user, I really loved the user interface and overall experience. I also appreciated how seamlessly it integrated with different apps like Supabase and Vercel. The pricing felt pretty awesome for its use case as an end-to-end platform. I also liked the intelligence of the AI on bolt.new, and overall I had a smooth experience with both support and performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside for me was that, when I first started using it, it wasn’t an E2E platform. At the same time, there were a lot of competitors offering better pricing, better models, and a better overall experience. Unfortunately, I had to switch, but if Bolt.new had adapted quickly enough, I would have stayed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Bolt.new is the speed with which I can transform an idea into a functional prototype. As I work with creating interfaces and SaaS MVPs, it is very useful to be able to describe a screen, generate the initial structure, and visualize the result in real-time, without having to set everything up from scratch. The ability to converse with the AI to create components, adjust the layout, fix errors, and add new functionalities greatly reduces development time. I also like the freedom to edit the code when necessary, instead of being limited to just visual resources. This allows me to test ideas more quickly, validate projects, and improve the design at various stages within the same platform. Besides, the cost is very attractive, which means we have a significant profit when selling some systems to some clients. I find the integrations quite easy, and I use payment method integrations a lot, such as Stripe, which is super quick to set up. In case of doubts or problems, I needed help once and could count on the support that helped me perfectly well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like least is that in larger projects, AI sometimes alters parts that were already working while trying to fix a specific problem. This can generate new errors and end up consuming tokens in correction attempts. The integrations and deployment are practical, but some errors could have more objective messages, showing exactly which file or configuration needs to be adjusted!

What I like most about Bolt.new is how quickly it takes me from an idea to something real and running. I describe the app I want, and within seconds it scaffolds the project, installs everything, and shows a live preview right in the browser no local setup at all. What really sets it apart for me is that it’s editing actual code, not a throwaway prototype, so when the AI gets something 90% right, I can just open the file and finish it myself. Iteration feels conversational: I ask for a change, it updates the codebase, and when I’m happy, I can deploy with one click. It’s genuinely collapsed the gap between “I have an idea” and “it’s live.” Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Token burn is nasty. Bolt rewrites whole files to correct its own mistakes and you are charged for their bugs. Some users speculate up to 50% of their tokens were used fixing Bolt. It syncs the entire codebase with each interaction so costs spiral out of control quickly, this is especially true with larger codebases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Bolt.new is how quickly it can generate full-stack web applications from simple prompts. It lets me prototype ideas fast without wasting time on the initial project setup. I also appreciate being able to edit the generated code, preview changes right away, and keep iterating on my application using natural-language instructions.

One thing I dislike is that the generated code can sometimes require manual refinement, especially for more complex applications. It may also struggle with highly customized requirements, and the usage limits on the free plan can feel restrictive when working on larger projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The import function where you can import your PRD from ChatPRD or Figma or any slides where it creates the prompt first based on the input and starts creating the UI is very good. No need to write your own prompt it generates the prompt itself is a very good product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The credit system, i don't know yet how they calculate their credit or tokens but it seems to get over very soon upon using for mere small projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It becomes super easy for us to create B2B sales & marketing sites using Bolt.new. We can create an operational site within hours at Sunset Valley Group as compared to several weeks. Instant creation & deployment of sites via browser-based process helps us gain speed and credibility for our marketing campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In terms of the marketing of services, we would like better designed, easy-to-use templates for B2B and direct sales marketing. There is the problem that token limitations may get in the way of creating several websites at one time, and some integrations require manual configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Bolt.new is how quickly I can turn an idea into a working prototype. The interface is clean and easy to use, and the AI does a good job of helping with the initial development. It makes testing ideas and making changes much faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the AI needs a few extra prompts to get exactly what I want, especially for more detailed changes. I would also like a little more control over some of the generated code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is how fast Bolt gets you from an idea to something real and live. I uploaded my resume as a PDF, described the portfolio I wanted, and within a couple of minutes it had scaffolded a working React app, installed the dependencies, and shown me a live preview right beside the code - no local setup, no environment config, nothing to install on my machine.

Coming from an engineering background, the part I value most is that it isn't a black box. I can read every file it generates, jump into the code directly when the AI doesn't quite nail something, and watch the preview update instantly. That chat-and-edit hybrid means I'm never just waiting on the AI - if I can fix it faster myself, I do, and it keeps up.

The unexpected win was deployment. One click and I had a hosted URL to share, without ever touching a hosting dashboard. Going from a prompt to a shareable live site inside a single browser tab genuinely saved me an afternoon of boilerplate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My biggest gripe is the token consumption. It's hard to predict and it burns faster than you'd expect - because Bolt re-syncs the whole codebase on each interaction, even small tweaks eat into your quota. On the free plan I hit the daily cap partway through an evening of iterating, which meant stopping mid-flow and waiting rather than finishing what I'd started. For anything beyond a quick experiment you'll want a paid plan, and I'd have liked clearer visibility into what each prompt actually costs before I spend it.The other frustration is how it handles fixes. When I asked it to correct one thing, it sometimes rewrote an entire file and quietly broke something that was already working - so I'd fix one bug and inherit another. Long sessions made this worse: the more we chatted, the more it seemed to lose track of earlier decisions and reintroduce issues I'd already sorted. I learned to keep my prompts detailed and batch changes together instead of firing lots of small ones, but that's a discipline the tool forces on you rather than one it helps with.
