The surge in AI startups and new tools has exposed a major problem: founders are being hit with excessive fees from platforms that provide little real value in return. We saw this challenge and decided to flip the script. Our revolutionary approach to pricing is the first of its kind in the industry and ensures you only pay when we actively deliver value through our network—no empty charges, no hidden costs.
Plus, we’re introducing Bolt Charge, our streamlined subscription management platform designed for developers. Bolt Charge is built for speed and simplicity—and with no added cost. No extra fees, no surprise markups. Just seamless, cost-effective subscription management designed to power your growth, not eat into your margins.

Hey guys, congrats on the launch. The offer seems interesting!
Could you specify your main values against Stripe?
Bolt
@jack_khrapkov thank you! Two key differentiator factors are: Bolt Charge lets you light up your subscriptions with zero platform fees, full control, and instant scalability. To that, Bolt already has millions of Bolt Accounts users, who constantly refresh their cards and payments on file, making your ability to recharge them stronger than with any other standalone provider.
@jack_khrapkov @konrad_zdanowicz How can the business sustain zero platform fees?
Bolt
@jack_khrapkov @konrad_zdanowicz @mikestaub We make money on payment processing – please refer to https://www.bolt.com/pricing for details
Bolt
@jack_khrapkov @konrad_zdanowicz @mikestaub To add more color, we make money through other means. Specifically, as users go through Checkout and Charge, there's an opt-in to Bolt wallets at the end. We're primarily motivated to build our wallet network (vs make margin on payments) and therefore are willing to offer no-margin payments. Axios recently had a good writeup on this: https://www.axios.com/pro/fintech-deals/newsletters/2025/04/16/thought-bubble-bolt-s-network-bet

@jack_khrapkov Konrad is spot on. Our subscriptions product are notable simpler. Unlike the others, there's no 0.5% platform fee tacked on. Our payment processing rate is also far lower. SaaS companies save upwards of a full 1% by switching to Bolt Charge.
Developer-friendly! Looking forward to seamless scaling 😄
Bolt
@shenjun Thanks! We are looking forward to helping more developers scale their products!
Bolt
@shenjun can’t wait for you to try out our self-service onboarding - we know the struggles of integrating with billing products and painless developer experience was our guiding principle.
Bolt
@shenjun Thank you! We're really excited about this release and look forward to hearing more about your experience.
Clever idea to include the vibe code culture into the you product to simplify the monetization stack!
Bolt
@jaredepicpower Thank you Jared, 100%, hopefully we'll have this integrated with all the vibe code platforms soon
@jaredepicpower Hey Jared. Exactly! Since most of our products are dev focused, wanted to bring in the vibe code culture.
Bolt
@jaredepicpower you are spot on!! We love the creative and entrepreneurial spirit this is driving. One of our core values at Bolt is a Founder's mentality so we do our best to try and deliver value to all the "founders" out there!

Might use it in a month! Do you guys have a plan for early stage startups ?
Bolt
@shanur_rahman We do have a plan for early stage startups. You get the exact same pricing as the big buys. Doesn't matter if you're doing $1 per month or $1b per month in volume. This type of pricing has never been offered before in the industry!
@shanur_rahman We care about fairness across the board. We want this pricing to be the best for everyone, no matter who you are.
I love how Bolt Charge remembers my preferences and makes checkout a one-click process. It's so convenient
Bolt
@budi_aprianto Thanks Budi!!! 1-click network for the win
I've tried several checkout solutions before, but Bolt is hands down the best. The one-click checkout feature has saved me so much time and hassle. I can finally focus on finding the products I love without worrying about the checkout process. Thanks, Bolt Charge, for making online shopping a breeze
Bolt
@russell_matthew These words mean a lot to us Russell, thank you! 🤩 Bolt team works relentlessly to deliver a true one-click checkout. Appreciate your support and hope you'll enjoy Bolt Charge!
It is new tools AI startups effortlessly manage and scale your business with our streamlined platform.

Sounds like a win for devs and finance teams alike. How does Bolt Charge handle usage-based pricing models? That’s where a lot of platforms trip up.
Bolt
@shreyans_assistiv Thanks Shreyans! Appreciate the kind words. Yes, we're actively working on usage-based pricing. Coming out soon, hopefully just a couple weeks.
Congrats on the launch! 🎉It’s refreshing to see a platform finally say no to hidden fees and inflated pricing. Quick question: Will Bolt Charge support usage-based billing models in the future, or is it currently focused on flat-rate subscriptions?
Bolt
@marina_artisk Thank you for the kind words Marina! As a founder of multiple startups/companies I agree, these fees got to go. We're just flat rate for now but quickly building usage-based billing into Charge. Coming very soon!
Bolt
@marina_artisk Thank you! Appreciate the kind words.

@nur_ahmad4 Thank you for the support! 💯 for simplicity and transparency, that's how we designed our pricing.
