Bolt.new vs Replit
Updated Jul 30, 2026 · pricing verified for both tools
Bolt.new and Replit both start at $25/month, but Replit ships a built-in Postgres database, auth, and a native mobile app while Bolt.new is web-only. Replit meters spend as a $25 credit pool with up to 2 parallel agents on Core and 10 on Pro ($100/month); Bolt.new sells tokens outright — 10M a month on Pro, with unused tokens rolling over. Pick Bolt.new for the cheapest predictable path from prompt to a hosted front end; pick Replit for full-stack apps that need a real database, collaborators, and 28-day database rollbacks.

When to pick Bolt.new
- You want the more generous free tier: 1M tokens a month with hosting included and up to 333K web requests, versus Replit’s daily Agent credits and a single published project.
- Predictable budgeting matters more than raw capability. Pro buys 10M tokens a month with no daily cap, and unused tokens roll over to the next month instead of expiring — Replit’s $25 credit pool covers AI, compute, and deployments together, so a heavy build month can exhaust it early.
- Your project is front-end-led: a landing page, marketing site, or prototype imported from Figma or GitHub, published on a custom domain without Bolt branding.
When to pick Replit
- Your app needs a real backend. PostgreSQL, authentication, hosting, and monitoring are built in, and Pro adds 28-day database rollbacks — a safety net Bolt.new does not offer.
- You want to run work in parallel: 2 agents at once on Core and 10 on Pro, against Bolt.new’s single session, which is the difference between one build at a time and several.
- You collaborate or work from a phone. Core supports 5 collaborators and Pro 15 plus 50 viewers, and Replit ships a native mobile app while Bolt.new is browser-only.
Bottom line
Entry price is a genuine tie at $25/month, so the decision is about scope. Bolt.new is the leaner tool and the better value for front-end work — a bigger free allowance, a straightforward 10M-token Pro plan, and token rollover that rewards uneven usage. Replit is the more complete platform: a built-in database and auth mean a generated app can actually persist data without bolting on a third-party service, parallel agents cut wall-clock time on larger builds, and database rollbacks plus real collaborator seats matter once more than one person depends on the project. Note the ceilings differ sharply above entry level — Bolt.new Teams is $30/month per member, while Replit Pro is $100/month ($95 annually) for a $100 credit pool and 10 parallel agents. Neither exposes a public API, so both are chat-and-browser products rather than pieces of a pipeline.
