About Bolt.new

Bolt.new is a browser-based AI app builder from StackBlitz. You describe an app in plain language and Bolt generates a complete, runnable project, installs its dependencies, and runs it right away inside the browser tab using WebContainers, StackBlitz's in-browser Node.js runtime, so nothing needs to be installed locally.

What sets it apart is that the agent does not only write files: it runs them, reads the errors, and fixes its own code until the app works. React with Vite and Tailwind CSS is the default output, and Bolt also generates Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Astro, and other JavaScript projects depending on the prompt. Figma frames can be imported as a starting design, and the code stays editable in the built-in editor or exportable to GitHub.

For the backend, Bolt Cloud provides hosting, a managed PostgreSQL database (Bolt Database) with authentication, server functions, and secrets, all provisioned from inside the project without a separate account. Paid plans can connect Supabase instead, add custom domains, and remove Bolt branding. Teams plans add shared workspaces and admin controls, and Enterprise adds SSO and audit logs.

Usage is metered in tokens: the free plan has daily and monthly caps, and paid plans include a monthly allowance with unused tokens rolling over for a limited time. Long or iterative sessions on complex apps use tokens quickly, and generated business logic often needs manual review before it goes to production.

Key Features

  • In-browser Node.js runtime (WebContainers), with no local install
  • Agent that runs the code, reads errors, and fixes them itself
  • Full-stack generation, React by default, plus Next.js, Vue, Svelte, and Astro
  • Bolt Cloud hosting and Bolt Database (PostgreSQL, auth, functions, secrets)
  • Optional Supabase connection on paid plans
  • Figma import as a starting design
  • Team workspaces with admin controls

Pros

  • Nothing to install: a full Node.js environment runs in the browser
  • The agent closes the generate, run, and fix loop on its own
  • Full-stack output with hosting and database included, not just UI
  • Works across several JavaScript frameworks, not only React
  • Free plan is enough to try real projects

Cons

  • Token limits run out quickly on complex or iterative projects
  • Complex business logic often needs significant manual editing
  • The in-browser runtime cannot do everything a local Node.js setup can
  • Free plan daily cap (300K tokens) is easy to hit in one session

Bolt Database

Bolt Database

Bolt.new's own managed backend suite: a PostgreSQL database with built-in authentication, server functions, and secrets, provisioned automatically with no external account needed.

Freemium
Databases
5/5

Bolt Database is Bolt Cloud's bundled backend (managed PostgreSQL, auth, functions, and secrets), provisioned only from inside a Bolt.new project and not usable on its own.

Works well with Bolt.new(3)

React

React

React is the most widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces through reusable components. Created by Meta, it powers web and native apps at massive scale.

Open Source
Frontend Frameworks
4/5

React with Vite and Tailwind CSS is Bolt.new's default and most common output, but not the only one: Bolt also generates Vue, Svelte, Astro, Next.js, SvelteKit, and Remix projects depending on the prompt.

Supabase

Supabase

Open-source Firebase alternative built on PostgreSQL. Provides a full backend stack with database, authentication, real-time subscriptions, file storage, and edge functions — deployable on Supabase Cloud or self-hosted.

Freemium
Databases
4/5

Supabase is a growing backend choice for Bolt-generated apps — Supabase handles database and auth while Bolt scaffolds the React frontend.

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL is a free, open-source object-relational database known for reliability, standards compliance, and extensibility, with rich data types, JSONB, and a large ecosystem of extensions such as PostGIS and pgvector.
