Understanding Tokens and Pricing in BoltNew
Introduction
Welcome back! In this section, we’ll discuss tokens—how BoldNew charges for usage, how to check your token balance, and how to manage your subscription effectively.
What Are Tokens?
Tokens are the currency used in BoldNew to track usage. When you're on a paid plan, you receive a set number of tokens depending on your subscription level.
Checking Your Token Balance
To check how many tokens you have left:
-
Log in to your BoldNew account.
-
Navigate to the bottom left corner of the menu.
-
Click on “My Subscription” to see your current balance.
For example, if you are on the Pro Plan, you might have 10 million tokens per month, which refreshes every 30 days. If you run low, more tokens are added based on your billing cycle.
Upgrading or Adding More Tokens
If you need more tokens, you have two options:
-
Upgrade to a higher plan: Each plan offers different token limits.
-
Purchase a one-time token top-up: Click “Token Reload” to add tokens without upgrading your plan.
💡 Tip: Annual subscriptions offer discounts compared to monthly billing.
Enabling Token Usage Display
StackBlitz has introduced a new way to view token usage within the BoldNew interface:
-
Go to Settings → General.
-
Toggle “Show token usage in chat” ON.
-
This will display real-time token usage as you work with BoldNew.
If you prefer not to see this, you can turn it off in the settings.
Final Thoughts
Managing tokens effectively ensures a smooth workflow while using BoldNew. Whether you need to track usage, add more tokens, or upgrade, you now know exactly where to go.
