Bolt.new is an AI-powered full-stack web development platform by StackBlitz that lets you build, run, and deploy complete web applications directly in your browser through natural language prompts. Unlike code-only generators, Bolt.new runs a full development environment (WebContainers) in the browser, meaning it can install packages, run servers, interact with databases, and execute your application in real-time as it builds it.
Key features include full-stack application generation from text prompts, in-browser Node.js runtime via WebContainers (no cloud VM needed), support for frameworks like Next.js, React, Vue, Svelte, and Astro, real-time preview of your running application, database integration with Supabase and other providers, package installation and management, iterative refinement through conversation, and one-click deployment to Netlify or other platforms. Bolt can build and run both frontend and backend code entirely in the browser.
Bolt.new offers a free tier with limited daily tokens. The Pro plan costs $20/month for 10 million tokens, the Team plan at $24/user/month adds collaboration features, and the Enterprise plan includes enhanced security and custom deployments. Bolt.new has quickly become a favorite among developers for rapid prototyping and building MVPs, as it handles the entire stack from UI to API routes to database schema in a single AI-driven workflow.
