“Built my MVP, then had to rebuild it”

Used weekly for 6–12 months

It got me to a working product with paying users in three weeks, which I could not have done otherwise. At about forty files it started struggling — fixes broke other things and I burned tokens going in circles. I brought in a contractor to rewrite it properly. Worth every penny for what it proved.

Pros

Genuinely got a non-developer to a live product. Editing the code directly saved me more than once.

Cons

There is a complexity ceiling and you will find it. The rebuild cost more than the subscription ever did.

Problems it solves

Validated a business idea without hiring anyone first.

“We use it for internal tools and nothing else”

Used monthly for 6–12 months

Admin dashboards, one-off data viewers, small internal forms — things that would sit in the backlog forever. Bolt does them in an afternoon and nobody minds that the code is average because twelve people use it behind our VPN. I would not point it at anything customer-facing.

Pros

Clears a class of low-priority work that never got done. Hosting included means no deployment conversation.

Cons

Not something I would ship to customers. Token budgeting needs watching across a team.
