Bolt’s pricing page · Change detected
What changed
Bolt Pro plan card now carries a limited-time banner, "bolt forge included until Oct 14," with a Learn more link, bundling complimentary access to Bolt Forge for Pro subscribers through that fixed deadline. The banner was not present before.
Why it matters
A promo like this after three quiet months functions as a signal that Bolt has something new (Forge) it wants Pro users to adopt before deciding whether to price it separately, watch whether Forge becomes a standalone paid add-on once the Oct 14 deadline passes, the way past free bundles here have often preceded a repricing.
In context
Bolt pricing page had been quiet since mid-June, when it extended a free-domain offer for Pro and Teams, 92 days, the longest gap in its tracked history. This Forge bundle is only its third real change and its second time reaching for the same lever: a free, deadline-bound bundle rather than a price or capacity change, echoing June free-domain promo. New-discount moves like this are a modest 3.1% of pricing changes tracked across the index in the last 180 days, a category where OpenArt has now made three moves of its own this month alone.
What people are saying
“Esses 50x não é real. Todo meu crédito bolt Forge se acabou em 1 hora e meia codando, no plano Pro 10M.”
View original“Bolt Forge is making a bold move-more usage, zero usage charges, and access to models like GLM, DeepSeek, and Kimi. 🚀 And offering it free with every Pro plan makes the launch even more interesting. AI development is getting fiercely competitive. 🔥”
View original“This is the kind of AI update I actually want to play with. Bolt Forge gives you access to GLM 5.3 Flash, Kimi K3 and DeepSeek v4 Pro, plus up to 50× more usage. I can see myself starting with a ridiculous idea, trying a few versions, switching models, breaking everything and starting again without constantly watching the usage meter. Forge is experimental, and you can opt in to helping train open models with your builds. Free on Pro until Oct 14, or $9/mo with Bolt Lite. The research preview runs Sept 14–Oct 14. Time to build some nonsense👀”
