- The official page says model token rates can be viewed in the model selector or pricing page, but the extracted live documentation did not consistently expose a complete current rate table.
- The FAQ does not promise copyrightability, uniqueness, non-infringement, or an IP indemnity for generated code.
- The effect of deleting content already incorporated into a trained model is limited: the FAQ says existing models will not be updated after such a deletion request.
Official documentation describes v0 as an AI agent for producing full-stack apps and agents, with Git integration, a full editor, previews, backend connections, and Vercel deployment. v0 may use user prompts or generated content with third-party models and learning systems to improve products. Enterprise content and content from customers who opt out in Vercel settings are not used for training. Vercel platform-service customer data or code is not used to train, improve, or fine-tune v0 models. The FAQ says Vercel does not own code generated from user prompts, while warning that output may resemble other output or third-party IP and must be evaluated by the user. Pricing terminology on the retrieved current documentation uses 'Plus'; some indexed official snippets still use the former name 'Team'. Re-checked 2026-10-25: new Free accounts receive a one-time $5 signup credit rather than a recurring $5 monthly credit, and Premium at $20/month remains closed to new signups. Business at $100 per user per month includes the same $30 monthly credit allowance as Plus.
Free: $0, public and private projects, 300,000-token daily limit, 1 million tokens/month, 10 MB uploads, Bolt-branded hosting, up to 333,000 web requests, and unlimited databases. Pro: $25/month, or $18/month billed annually ($216/year), no daily token limit, 10 million tokens/month with rollover, 100 MB uploads, custom domains, private sharing, and up to 1 million web requests. Teams: $30/member/month, or $27/month billed annually, with Pro features plus centralized billing and administrative controls. Enterprise is custom-priced.

- Bolt's security page says code and prompts are never used to train foundation models, while the Privacy Policy permits aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified AI content to improve AI performance and describes plan-dependent training controls. The exact boundary between 'foundation-model training' and other model/service improvement is not defined.
- The public Privacy Policy does not enumerate which plans receive training opt-out controls.
- The commercial-use statement does not provide a non-infringement warranty for generated code.
Official documentation says Bolt offers Standard and Max agents; Standard is available on Free, while Max requires a paid plan. Bolt's commercial-use documentation states that all code created with Bolt and StackBlitz is the user's code and may be used for any legal purpose, including commercial purposes. StackBlitz's Terms state that it does not claim ownership of data, content, or other material submitted, published, or transmitted through the service. The Privacy Policy says Bolt may use AI Inputs and Outputs to operate, maintain, and improve the service, including AI performance, reliability, and safety, using aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data. The Privacy Policy says training/improvement opt-out controls may depend on account type or plan, while third-party AI providers process Inputs to provide services to Bolt under contractual confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
