They will scam you. Bolt's AI agent deletes your work, forcing you to buy more tokens to recreate everything it deleted. A big chunk of my work was deleted by their AI agent the day after I upgraded to their pro plan from the basic plan. They essentially stole half the tokens I paid for. Now it's prompting me to buy more tokens or upgrade to a more expensive plan. Unbelievable. That's a scam, not a legitimate business model.

I subscribed to the Pro plan and was supposed to receive 20M tokens. I had only used 1.4M, so I still had 18.6M left. Suddenly, my balance dropped to 670K with no explanation. I contacted support immediately and spent hours waiting, but the issue is still unresolved. I wasn’t on any prior plan that could cause token rollover confusion. This has delayed my project, caused stress, and wasted time. I expected better transparency and faster support for a paid service.

L'application semble bien fonctionner au début. Cependant à partir d'un moment votre application est toute transformée, vous devez revenir en arrière puis tout refaire plusieurs fois. Ce qui vous fait consommer des crédits. aucun moyen de piloter convenablement une application. Perte de temps et d'argent, c'est dommage car le rendu pourrait être très satisfaisant si tout ne se réinventait pas. A se demander si ce n'est pas fait exprès pour passer un temps fou à rattraper les modifications non demandées.

tried using Bolt to build a real-world web app. Despite the flashy design and claims of “production-ready” environments, the experience was a mess: Critical files missing from every export Promises of 100% completion – repeatedly broken Endless debugging due to false "everything works" messages Server responses failed constantly with 500 errors and empty bodies The ZIP file I downloaded was incomplete multiple times Took days to debug issues that Bolt's environment itself caused Even after following every checklist, it simply didn’t work. It’s unreliable for serious projects. Bolt might be fine for experiments or student demos, but not for real app development. Warning: Don’t trust the “ready to deploy” claims. You'll spend more time fixing basic issues than building your actual product.

I've been a paying user since sometime now but i feel my tokens are just not enough to build that come in the paid membership and recently since the hackathon kicked off platform is extremely slow i'm thinking to leave it as its not so much worth paying, Simply pushing you to go higher and pay more is the idea of the platform

This is one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. If you have any problems and you try to report it, it sends you to discord. There is no way to speak to customer service. The AI is outdated and will use tokens you pay for and just cause errors that cost you to fix and nothing gets fixed. I just used the famous AI at Builder and that is what I recommend everybody use. Stackblitz failed on this one.

This is not the official bolt profile

I don’t mind chatting with an AI and working step by step. But it should actually understand what I’m asking—it shouldn’t create nonsense with a pretty UI. Right now, it can design a nice interface, but the interactions are terrible and buggy. Even after fine-tuning it with prompts and it saying it ‘understood,’ the results are still disappointing. I’m not going to subscribe
