Hire a Bolt DeveloperHire a Bolt developer for a human review after Bolt’s own audits

Bolt runs its own audits: one checks the database, and on paid plans another reviews the whole project and fixes what it can. A $450 Launch Check adds a person reading and testing the whole app: in 3 business days you get a written report on the whole Bolt app, each problem rated by severity, with a fixed price to fix the worst. That Rescue Sprint is $1,950, with the $450 credited. One bug you can already name? An App Fix Ticket starts at $450.

What Bolt leaves to you

Where a Bolt app needs a person, from Bolt’s docs and Netlify’s

  • 01

    The database Security Audit covers the database only

    Bolt’s docs say the database Security Audit checks only your database, not your whole project, using the same checks as Supabase’s Security Advisor. Bolt’s separate project audit, on paid plans, reviews the code too and fixes what it can. Neither is a person testing sign-in, payments and server functions against your running app.

    Restoring a version leaves the data as it is

    Restoring an earlier project version doesn’t change your Bolt or Supabase database. If a prompt changed the schema or damaged data, going back a version won’t undo it: the database itself has to be repaired.

    Moving from Bolt Database to Supabase

    The supported path is claiming your Bolt Database in Supabase, which Bolt says lets you migrate an existing Bolt database to Supabase. It needs a Pro or Teams plan, and the person claiming it must be the Supabase organization owner, so you make that switch and a developer checks the app against it afterwards.

    Pick the host before the first publish

    Netlify’s guide says that once a project is published to Bolt hosting, you can’t move that same project to Netlify; you’d start a fresh copy. Decide where the app will live first, and if the build fails on your chosen host, get that fixed before launch.

    An unpublished project’s database can pause

    In an unpublished project, Bolt may pause the database after six days or more of low use, and restores it the next time you open the project, which can take a few minutes. Published projects aren’t paused. If a test copy is slow to reconnect, check for a pause before anything else.

    The App Store

    Wrapping a Bolt web app for the App Store brings build settings and review rules of its own.

    Built with another tool?

    The same fixed-price offers cover apps built with Lovable and Replit, each with its own page on what that builder leaves to you.

Before you hire

Questions that matter for a Bolt app

Ask these of whoever you hire, App369 included, and get the answers in writing.

  • What do you add to Bolt’s own audits?

    Bolt can audit the database and, on paid plans, the whole project. Ask what a person adds: testing sign-in, payments, server functions and keys against the live app.

  • Which database is the app on?

    Bolt Database and your own Supabase project are set up and changed differently. A developer should find out which one you use before quoting.

  • How will a bad schema change be repaired?

    A version restore leaves the database alone, so ask how damaged data or a broken migration gets fixed, and where it’s tested first.

  • Where do the changes go?

    Bolt checks a connected GitHub repo every 30 seconds and pulls in changes made outside Bolt. Ask for fixes there, so you see each one and keep building in Bolt on top of them.

Questions

Before you start

How much does it cost to hire a Bolt developer?

App369 publishes fixed prices, so you know the cost before work starts: the Launch Check is $450, the Rescue Sprint that fixes up to 5 critical or high findings is $1,950 with the $450 credited, and an App Fix Ticket for one bug starts at $450.

Bolt’s security audit passed. Do I still need a review?

The database Security Audit checks the database only, as Bolt’s docs say, and the project audit is Bolt checking its own work. Once real users sign in or pay, have a person test sign-in, payments, server functions and any keys shipped to the browser.

What does the Launch Check report look like?

The Launch Check is a written check of your whole app. Each issue found is rated critical, high, medium or low, with where it is and how it was confirmed, plus a fixed price to fix the worst problems (the Rescue Sprint). No issues worth fixing, no charge. If the Launch Check finds nothing rated medium or higher, Simon refunds the full $450. You keep the report either way.

What do I need to hand over?

Read access to the GitHub repo your Bolt project is connected to (only the project owner can connect one), a test login, and which database the app uses. Keep keys and passwords out of email: you add them in your own accounts.

Can I keep building in Bolt afterwards?

Yes. Fixes go to the branch Bolt is connected to on GitHub, and Bolt checks for outside changes every 30 seconds, so your next prompt starts from the fixed code.

Who does the work?

Simon Dziak, who founded App369, does the work himself. Everything happens in writing by email, with fixes delivered as commits you can review.
