Bolt ends Pro plan's free Bolt Forge promo as Oct 18 deadline passes
What happened
Between the Oct 18, 2026 and Oct 19, 2026 captures of Bolt's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Pro plan's limited-time 'Bolt Forge included until Oct 18' promotional inclusion removed after expiry. Pulse files it as a pricing change (discount removed) with a neutral direction. The current page lists Pro at $18 and Teams at $27.
It lands 3 days after Bolt's previous change, "Bolt extends free Forge promo on Pro through Oct 18" (Oct 16, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Bolt: Pro plan no longer lists 'Bolt Forge included until Oct 14' promotional feature bullet" (Oct 15, 2026), "Bolt drops $9 Bolt Lite preview and Pro's free Forge window from pricing page" (Oct 2, 2026) and "Bolt Lite debuts at $9/month as invite-only preview, Forge free on Pro" (Oct 1, 2026). Bolt has been tracked since 2026-05-16.
In the same window Bird, Limelight Software and GiveMe5.ai also changed their AI & Machine Learning pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
