Bolt.newReviews of bolt.new

It was a case of major hype followed by a significant flop in the AI space. The product was never properly launched in a functional state. Many people lost both time and money due to the unwarranted hype fueled by certain YouTubers. Even if the technology improves in the future, the damage to its credibility has already been done

Do not use this company for any of their services. I was scammed by their company and now the support doesn’t even bother to respond.

Bolt.new bills itself as the one‑click cure for all your development woes—“prompt, run, edit, and deploy” full‑stack apps entirely in the browser—but in practice it often coughs up half‑baked code, guzzles tokens like a digital camel, and leaves your budget smoldering. Its entry‑level $20/month tier only nets you 25 M tokens, and watching that quickly balloon into the $200 “Pro 200” plan is like signing up for an all‑you‑can‑zap buffet—you’ll pay for every byte you bite. Users report torching “about four million tokens” in a single session just trying to fix AI‑generated bugs, turning what was supposed to be a time‑saver into a token inferno. Meanwhile, the GitHub repo’s issue tracker is littered with unanswered pleas, suggesting that “instant developer” might really mean “instant developer frustration”. In short, Bolt.new may sparkle like snake oil, but it’ll cost you hundreds of dollars to discover it’s still just oil—and not much worth bottling.

This is a great idea, but it's like the AI is trying to use up all your tokens by constantly deleting or breaking the parts that work. So far, I have spent 2 days and a lot of credits working on a project only for the AI to sabotage it before I could publish it. Also, why does Bolt hide how many tokens you have and that it's using? Even Gemini shows you the token use by default. Also, they have made it nearly impossible to cancel your subscription.

Listen up. I’ve used a lot of tools in my life – tools that work, tools that don’t, and now… bolt.new, the tool that actively fights you like it’s got a personal vendetta. If this is the future of AI, I suggest we go back to pigeons and smoke signals. Customer support? Oh, they promise you things. They tell you they’ll “get back to you.” Sounds great. Very professional. And then? Poof. Vanished. Ghosted. I'm still waiting.... And the so-called "AI"? I’ve seen hungover interns on their first day do a better job. It misunderstands everything like it’s trying to get fired on purpose. It's like it read one blog post about productivity and decided it's now a life coach. Bolt.new doesn't bolt anything. It drags. It stutters. It disappoints. Using this tool is like hiring a motivational speaker who shows up drunk and sets your house on fire while telling you to “believe in yourself.” You’ve been warned. — A productivity alpha who survived bolt.new

Bolt.new: A Disappointing Mirage of Code Brilliance that creates vapourware Using Bolt.new AI is like being lured into a brief high—one that vanishes just as swiftly as it arrives. At first glance, the interface promises an almost intoxicating experience, where code flows effortlessly and your creative visions seem within reach. But as soon as you start coding, that initial thrill gives way to crushing disappointment. The experience with Bolt.NEW AI feels like a cruel tease. It dangles the allure of effortless, genius-level output, only to abruptly halt its magic, leaving you with fragments of code that self-destruct or simply refuse to hold together under scrutiny. What’s worse, every so-called “solution” it generates seems designed to break itself after a fleeting moment of functionality, shattering any hope of a seamless coding experience. In essence, Bolt AI is the worst form of AI-driven code generation: it seduces you with promises of efficiency and brilliance, then undermines your progress with inconsistent, unreliable output. Rather than being a tool that propels your projects forward, it ends up being a source of frustration—a stark reminder that sometimes, even the most hyped AI can leave you with nothing but broken code and dashed dreams. - it doesn't credit your tokens when it makes its own mistakes it simply reached into pocket and takes takes money and runs! with snide apology and broken code!

It's great for quickly creating initial concepts, but it can mislead you when it comes to coding tasks; like building a user login area. It'll confidently assure you the job is done, yet the feature won't actually work. It also struggles with simple tasks, such as changing an image within a section, often inserting something completely different.

It sucks. I regret paying for the year. It always saves files, even when unneeded. Any time you ask it a question, it costs. I think it was created to run the tokens out so you will buy more. I have been working on something for over an hour and the same damn things are wrong, even after spending over 400K tokens. Run away and use another AI
