Bolt.new is a strong third choice for founders who want to build in the browser without accounts on several services. You chat with the AI, and Bolt picks a model for each task automatically, then tests and refactors to cut down on errors. Bolt Cloud supplies hosting with analytics, databases, user authentication and integrations, so a project can go live from the same screen where it was built. The Free plan is one of the more generous here, with 1M tokens a month, a 300K daily limit, website hosting and unlimited databases, though sites carry Bolt branding. Pro at $25 a month removes the daily cap, starts at 10M tokens, adds a custom domain and SEO boosting, and rolls unused tokens into the next month. Teams adds central billing and admin controls at $30 per member. Token counts are less intuitive than message credits, so first-time builders may need a few weeks to judge their usage.
