Bolt.new vs Jules

A decision for a beginner, not a spec sheet. Scores are our weights. Prices are the public plans, and anything marked verify on the tool page should be re-checked before you pay.

The call

  • Bolt.new: Browser builder with a code view and hosting. Jules: Browser agent that opens pull requests on GitHub.
  • If you do not want to read code, Bolt.new is the closer fit.
  • Jules has the lower verified individual paid plan: Google AI Pro (Jules in Pro) at $19.99/mo.
  • For a website or landing page, Bolt.new is the stronger match in our weights.
  • For an automation or script, Jules is the stronger match in our weights.

Pick Bolt.new if you want a first web app or landing page you want to see running today.

Pick Jules if you want bug fixes, version bumps, and small features on a repo you already have.

Take the quiz

Bolt.new

A browser builder with a generous free token pool and a $25 Pro plan.

Cheapest verified paid plan: Pro · $25/mo

Pick it when

  • A first web app or landing page you want to see running today
  • Beginners who want a free month of real building, not a 10-message demo
  • People who may later edit the generated code in the code view

Leave it when

  • Large existing repositories
  • Native mobile apps and games
  • Long-running production apps, because token cost rises as the project grows

Jules

An async agent that takes a GitHub task and opens a pull request.

Cheapest verified paid plan: Google AI Pro (Jules in Pro) · $19.99/mo

Pick it when

  • Bug fixes, version bumps, and small features on a repo you already have
  • Handing off a task and reviewing the pull request later
  • A free daily allowance with a published task count

Leave it when

  • A hosted app you want to see running without a GitHub repo
  • No-code landing pages
  • Native mobile apps and games
  • A Workspace or non-Gmail account that needs a paid Jules upgrade (Jules says that path is not available yet)

Bolt.new plans

Last verified 2026-10-19

Free

Individual

Free

Verified

300K tokens per day and 1M tokens per month. Bolt branding, 10MB uploads, hosting up to 333k web requests.

Daily leftover tokens do not carry into the next day.

Pro

Individual

$25/mo

Verify

Billing docs say annual saves 10%. A worked example on the same page lists the Pro 10M annual plan at $216/year, which is not 10% off $25/mo. Confirm the annual price in the upgrade dialog.

Starts at 10M tokens per month, no daily cap. Unused paid tokens roll for one extra month. Custom domain, no Bolt branding, 100MB uploads.

The pricing page lists Pro at $25/mo as the starting individual paid plan. The monthly price is used for matching. The annual rate is marked verify because the billing page states both 10% off and $216/year.

Jules plans

Last verified 2026-10-19

Jules

Individual

Free

Verified

15 tasks per rolling 24 hours, 3 concurrent tasks, Gemini 2.5 Pro. Jules' own label for this row is evaluating the agent on real work.

Task counts are on jules.google and the usage-limits doc. Neither page prints a dollar price because this row is free.

Google AI Pro (Jules in Pro)

Individual

$19.99/mo

Verified

100 tasks per rolling 24 hours, 15 concurrent tasks, and higher access to the latest model. The Jules plan table says that starts with Gemini 3 Pro. A March 9, 2026 Jules changelog says Gemini 3.1 Pro replaced Gemini 3 Pro as the default for Pro users.

Jules docs say Jules in Pro is included with Google AI Pro. The $19.99 price is the Google AI Pro price on Google One, which also includes storage and other Google AI products. Google AI Plus at $4.99 is not listed by Jules as an upgrade. Google One only labels Plus Jules limits as Limited, so it is not a paid Jules row.

Google AI Ultra 5x (Jules in Ultra)

Individual

$99.99/mo

Verified

Google One labels Jules task limits, concurrent limits, and latest-model access as Higher than Pro. Jules' plan table publishes one Ultra row of 300 tasks per rolling 24 hours and 60 concurrent tasks, and does not say whether that row is this 5x plan, the 20x plan, or both.

The $99.99 price is Google AI Ultra 5x on Google One. The task number is left off this card so a single Ultra row is not pasted onto both prices.

Google AI Ultra 20x (Jules in Ultra)

Individual

$199.99/mo

Verified

Google One labels Jules task limits, concurrent limits, and latest-model access as Highest. The same Jules Ultra row of 300 tasks and 60 concurrent tasks is not assigned to this price either.

The $199.99 price is Google AI Ultra 20x on Google One. Jules docs describe one Ultra benefit and one set of task numbers.

When Bolt.new runs out

Free tokens reset on the 1st and do not roll over. The daily 300K cap resets every day and also does not roll. Paid tokens reset on the renewal date and roll for one extra month while the subscription stays active.

On Free, wait for the daily reset, or for the 1st if the monthly million is gone.

When Jules runs out

Task limits are a rolling 24 hours, not midnight. Concurrent-task caps apply at the same time. Family-plan members each have their own limits. They are not pooled.

When the new-task button turns off, keep reviewing tasks that are already running. History stays available.
