How much does it cost to build a dating app with Bolt.new?

Around 22.8–46.5M tokens for the whole build, midpoint 34.6M tokens. That covers the core app (priced as a complex build — how many screens and rules it has) plus 4 features, multiplied by 2.5× for the rounds it takes to get each one right, and a further 40% for fixing what breaks. Treat the published range, not the midpoint, as the answer.

1× Pro 55M ($100/mo). There is no overage here, so the allowance is a ceiling: the midpoint clears in 1 month at full use, and a month you only half-use still costs a full $100. That is $75 in plan spend (usage worth $87). We price every published tier and quote the cheapest — where a bigger plan costs the same as several small ones, it wins, because it finishes sooner.

Iteration, mostly. This page assumes a normal human at 2.5× — a heavy iterator pays 5× and a pure vibes-only builder 8×, which roughly triples the bill on its own. After that: extra features beyond the 4 assumed here, redesigns late in the build, and long debugging loops where the model keeps re-reading a broken file.

On these numbers, yes — cheapest by plan spend, the cash you actually hand over. Bolt.new lands at ≈ $75 against Lovable ≈ $113, Replit Agent ≈ $219, v0 by Vercel ≈ $222, Cursor + Claude ≈ $148, Claude Code ≈ $110. That is cost only — if you already know one of the others, the hours you save may be worth more than the difference.
