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.

v0 plans

Last verified 2026-10-19

Free

Individual

Free

Verified

7 messages a day. Credit grant is the current offer: $5 once for new accounts on the one-time offer, or $5 a month for existing free users. Confirm which offer your account has.

The message cap is documented. The credit offer is account-specific, which is called out in the limits rather than guessed.

Premium

Individual

$20/mo

Verified

$20 of credits a month. v0's docs say Premium is being sunset and is no longer available to new users.

Shown so you do not plan on it. Excluded from budget matching for that reason.

Plus

Individual

$30/user/mo

Verified

$30 of included monthly credits per user and $2 of daily credits on login. Extra credits can be purchased. Team sharing and centralized billing.

This is the paid plan the pricing page offers new users. On 2026-10-19 that page showed $30/user/month with $90 struck through beside it. The docs also list Plus at $30/user/month.

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 v0 runs out

Free is capped at 7 messages a day. Paid plans are credit-based. Unused monthly credits roll one cycle and expire after 65 days. Purchased credits expire after one year and need an active paid plan to spend.

On Free, wait until the next day. Seven messages go quickly if you regenerate the whole page.
