The platform is available for free for individual users on Mac, Windows, and Linux, with no account or time limit required. For teams, Bolt offers self-hosted options that can be deployed on-premises or in a virtual private cloud (VPC), allowing organizations to maintain full control over their data.
Bolt supports a wide range of AI models, allowing users to bring their own large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and NVIDIA NIM. It integrates seamlessly with over 100 enterprise systems, including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, and Salesforce, through the open Model Context Protocol (MCP).
The platform offers various pricing tiers for organizations, starting at $30 per seat per month for the Authorize tier, which includes self-hosting and BYO-LLM capabilities. The Backbone tier, priced at $60 per seat per month, adds AI orchestration features, while the Certify tier, at $90 per seat per month, includes a full compliance pack and dedicated delivery engineer support.
Bolt's key features include governed agentic actions, multi-surface data loss prevention (DLP), and a tamper-evident audit chain. It also offers a private recall feature, which provides on-device working memory that is encrypted and never uploaded. With its robust security measures and flexible deployment options, Bolt is well-suited for enterprises looking to leverage AI while maintaining strict data privacy standards.
