300,000 tokens per day and 1,000,000 tokens per month, US$0 (both figures appear on the official plan card and in the FAQ on the same page: Free plans have a 300,000 token daily limit and 1 million token monthly limit). Public and private projects can both be created; sites carry Bolt branding watermark text; single-file uploads are capped at 10MB; hosting is included, with up to roughly 333,000 web requests; the number of databases is unlimited. On resets, the official help centre states plainly that free-plan tokens reset on the 1st of each calendar month and do not roll over to the next month (only paid plans can roll over for one month). What happens once the quota is exhausted is not published; the site only says that upgrading to a paid plan removes the daily cap. (Read from bolt.new/pricing and support.bolt.new on 2026-08-09)
