Bolt.new is burning trough tokens because or poor results. Don't use it.
I tested Lovable, Base44 and Google ai studio so now Bolt.new
All the interfaces are about the some, no complains there.
The visual templates are okay, not the best but for dashboarding fine.
But it burns trough so much tokens so fast, much more faster then the others. And you have to correct it so much to get something working..
I dont think its bad, but it doesnt seem to match the rest based on price or quality. I hope it improves.

UPDATE:
I dropped Bolt.new, the quality of the results after a prompt is so bad its unusable. You need so much prompts to get a simple thing working (like filling an input field) its getting frustrating.
You are wasting so much time on getting things to work compared to their competitors it doesnt make sense to use this.

Nov 30, 2025Hey Maarten! Thanks for sharing this. The good news is that the Bolt plan includes 10M monthly tokens, so there should be plenty of room to experiment and refine without hitting limits too quickly. That said, your feedback is super valuable, and we’ll pass it along to the Bolt team so they can keep improving the experience.
Thanks again for your review! 🙌
