Bolt.newReviews of bolt.new

(i) there is incredible overcharging. It used up US$25 in just a few hours of working by making simple and limited language edits to an existing template. When I wrote to the Bolt CS team, they replied that they are working to make the credits more efficient. Bam ! (ii) due to huge urgency to get my work done, I paid for another US$25. This time their AI failed 98% of all my simple task requests. I emailed Bolt CS again and they offered refund. It has been 2 weeks now, I have asked for update on the refund at least 3 times, but NOTHING. They are hiding their face in the sand. In other words go to Loveable, go to Base44 - they may have some issues but nothing, i mean nothing, compared to Bolt..

The so called horse view ai is so messed up it can do nothing but go in a loop of trying to fix things until all your tokens are consumed just to fix what it says does not work takes 200000tokens it does not matter you use their newer vversion or old I thought it will be better but thats the worse

It starts smooth - then de debugging is making new bugs. And they are burning millions of tokens for garbage product. Absolutely not to recommend.

The tool itself has a great UI. The only thing it can do well is convince people to upgrade to their paid plan. Then you realize it cannot be used to build real-world value. Regardless of the prompt it provides ugly generic websites as the output. Bolt.new never understands your idea and tries to build something more simple instead. Noone needs another embedding tool or hideous-looking online calculator.

The most terrible Vibe Ai so far. beside the fact that the token runs quickly, Bolt can't even create a responsive page with active login... i wasted my MOney.

scam just like the hackathon, built to make errors to use token, and all this money going to ucranine

It says that the tokens roll over so I had it active just to accrue some tokens till i cud figure out the stack and architecture I needed. Logged in 4 months later and find that they only roll over for a month so expire after the next month. False advertising

Bolt is probably one of the worst AI website builders of the lot. It will often not follow basic instructions, and make a poor job when it does. You'll find yourself spending a lot of money on credit getting it to do basic things. Not worth the money while the website is still in Alpha (as of 19th October 2026)
