Bolt.new Token Calculator: Estimate Your Monthly Usage
Bolt.new uses a token-based pricing model where each AI generation consumes tokens based on context window size. Larger contexts (full-stack apps with many files) consume more tokens per generation. Use this guide to estimate your monthly token needs.
Bolt.new Plans at a Glance
| Plan | Price | Tokens/Month | Est. Generations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 200K/day | ~20–50 |
| Pro | $20/mo | 10M/month | ~1,000–2,500 |
| Pro 50 | $50/mo | 25M/month | ~2,500–6,000 |
| Pro 100 | $100/mo | 50M/month | ~5,000–12,000 |
| Pro 200 | $200/mo | 100M/month | ~10,000–25,000 |
How Context Size Affects Token Usage
Bolt.new charges tokens based on the total context processed (input + output). Larger projects with many files consume more tokens per generation.
Small context (1–3 files, ~2K tokens)
Landing pages, simple components. ~2K–5K tokens per generation. 10M tokens ≈ 2,000–5,000 generations.
Medium context (4–10 files, ~10K tokens)
MVPs, small apps with auth. ~10K–25K tokens per generation. 10M tokens ≈ 400–1,000 generations.
Large context (10–30 files, ~50K tokens)
Full-stack SaaS apps. ~50K–100K tokens per generation. 10M tokens ≈ 100–200 generations. Consider Pro 50+.
Which Plan is Right for You?
200K tokens/day is enough to explore Bolt.new and build small experiments. Upgrade when you outgrow the daily cap.
10M tokens covers moderate daily use on a single project. Start here and monitor usage — upgrade to Pro 50 if you hit the cap.
25M tokens provides comfortable headroom for daily development across several projects. Sweet spot for serious solo devs.
Large contexts drain tokens fast. If you are building complex apps daily, these tiers prevent mid-month exhaustion.
