Bolt.newReviews of bolt.new

Bolt new is the worst time wasting piece of crap .It will act on its own remove your work multiple times and still your tokens on nonsense's away from bolt. Nothing else but headache.I contacted them several times but no response to email to message.No phone number to call. Had 4 projects there HATE THEM.

Une IA qui ne fonctionne pas pour créer une appli mobile. Déjà elle ne prend pas en compte l'environnement de développement sur pc. Bien qu'agierri je n'ai pas réussi à créer la moindre appli. Pour plus de 20 dollars c'est de l'argent foutu en l'air

I started using bolt.new when they announced the "10M free token" over the weekend. Everything went well. exceptionally well. creating entire landingpages with subpages was so smooth and easy. it made me consider moving away from elementor or other manual builders. i was blown away by how effective, creative and fast an ai builder can be. without hesitation, i decided its worth purchasing the 200$/Month plan to get 120M tokens, so i can do future projects for clients on this site if they arent too complex. ....And then,...suddenly,...they DOWNGRADED THE AI! im not kidding, the very milisecond i paid it started being too stupid to handle the most basic tasks. I thought this might be due to the project size, so i tried entirely new projects. let me give you a example how bolt started behaving after i paid: 1) Create new project (simple one-pager website) 2) ask to change colors from #000000 to #111111 on all buttons 3) get error, wait 60 seconds, get another error 4) ^^ this cycle repeats itself around 5 times when bolt tries the 6th time, it changes your entire homepage for no reason. 5) you give up. you change the colors yourself. you ask to add a simple 2 column section with a image on the left side and a text on the right side 6) step 3 and 4 are happening again 7) you lost 50$ worth of credits trying to have a image on the left side and a text on the right these were just examples. NOTHING i mean NOTHING works once you start paying. they are intentionally DOWNGRADING YOUR LLM. you paid already!!! we got you!! why waste or resources providing value when we can just give you the cheapest and oldest ai to build your website, and then spent or resources to honey-trap new users. You might think i have too much free time writing this review, but my 13minutes wasted is nothing compared to the 40 hours i wasted on this software.

⚠️ Extremely disappointing experience with Bolt. I was on a paid plan with a 60 million token quota. I canceled my subscription before the renewal date — and even got confirmation from their support that I would still be able to use the remaining tokens I paid for. But the moment my plan ended: All my tokens were wiped without warning The chat interface broke And despite multiple emails, I got no real response for days To make things worse, I was still charged $20 after cancellation, and only after pushing support hard did they issue a refund. Bolt operates on a token/usage-based model, not like Netflix or other AI tools like Vercel’s V0 or Lovable that charge monthly but don’t delete your access to unused credits after cancellation. If I had known my tokens would vanish, I would’ve used them before canceling. But I was misinformed by their own team — and left with nothing I paid for. The product itself is powerful, but it also regularly overwrites entire components for small changes, which wastes tokens and can break your code. Between the lack of transparency, broken UI, and extremely slow support, I can’t recommend Bolt until they fix both their token policies and how they treat customers.

Bolt.new wants to be in the league of coding assistants like Cursor and Windsurf, but in terms of coding, the features are middling at best. It will often use inconsistent variable names, edit files you did not want edited, and struggles to implement backend while giving preference to FE. Project management, don't even. Your main tools are duplicate,work from stackblitz (requires familiarity with the parent project stackblitz) or import from github. Exporting to zip only goes one way, Bolt cannot re-import a project from a zip file. I've had issues with these such as reverting back to an old version of a project, messages that the project was opened outside of Bolt when it wasn't, etc. I would recommend using Claude directly, managing your own IDE and git repos. In my experience, Bolt creates more issues than it solves.

Wasted $100 on this service. It's a complete scam! The token vanished without a trace and projects disappeared.

The only thing good is website builder, but then the AI deployed my unfinished page, from some alternative source got my personal phone number (my original webpage that I used had my work phone number so don't even know how AI got my personal number). Now I am stuck with deployed page, unable to unpublish, serious GDPR violations, customer service is ignoring me for days and I am actually forced to take legal actions as my personal data is out there. I will sue them to the ground and I have all the basis for it, multiple emails directed to all the departments, thsi is an absolute joke. The fact the AI web page builder is amazing but people running it are s*it makes it actually very sad.

Dont Use bolt.new last month it wasted 140 million of token for nothing bolts repsonse would fail and say retry but do nothing, so when i refreshed the page 20-40 million tokes went away this happened multiple times contacted the support and they did nothing kept saying an agent would contact you a agent never contacted me after
