Amazing!! Just diving into the app but have some great progress so far. Excited about what I will be able to create.
A faster, easier and cheaper way to perform ETL with your data. Genuine👍🏻
Easy to use. Secure. Puts customers and users first. What else could you ask for?

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?

@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?

@jack_khrapkov @konrad_zdanowicz @mikestaub We make money on payment processing – please refer to https://www.bolt.com/pricing for details

@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 😄

@shenjun Thanks! We are looking forward to helping more developers scale their products!

@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.

@shenjun Thank you! We're really excited about this release and look forward to hearing more about your experience.
