Bolt.newReviews of bolt.new

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.

Overpromise - Underdeliver. Its not all trash but you wont be able to reach whatever you are trying to achieve despite the AI confirming it can do it.

bolt is making preety good apps but with their "worlds largest hackathon" they didnt gave a single token!!!

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

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.
