What is Bolta?
AI social media team that drafts, schedules and publishes across your channels - you approve, from $19/mo Bolta positions itself one step past the scheduler category: an AI social media team that drafts, schedules and publishes while you approve.
Our verdict
AI agents draft, schedule and publish across a dozen-plus networks from your brand voice, with an approval step before anything goes live.
Full review
Bolta positions itself one step past the scheduler category: an AI social media team that drafts, schedules and publishes while you approve. You add your site, voice and brand context once; its AI agents then turn ideas and long-form content into channel-ready drafts, run repeatable workflows (a content agent on a weekly cadence, a reply agent waiting for review, performance reports) and publish across connected channels. The site shows support for a wide spread of networks – Threads, Instagram, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Reddit, WordPress, Bluesky, Discord and Telegram among them – and claims 5,000+ users plus a Meta Business Partner badge (the vendor’s own displayed claims).
Plan structure has two lenses. The headline cards list Explorer at $19 per month (250 AI images and 10 AI videos a month, 5 social accounts, 250 scheduled posts, 1 brand voice profile) and Premium at $49 per month
Bolta positions itself one step past the scheduler category: an AI social media team that drafts, schedules and publishes while you approve. You add your site, voice and brand context once; its AI agents then turn ideas and long-form content into channel-ready drafts, run repeatable workflows (a content agent on a weekly cadence, a reply agent waiting for review, performance reports) and publish across connected channels.

Plan structure has two lenses. The headline cards list Explorer at $19 per month (250 AI images and 10 AI videos a month, 5 social accounts, 250 scheduled posts, 1 brand voice profile) and Premium at $49 per month (650 AI images, 35 AI videos, 20 accounts, unlimited posts, 5 voice profiles). A side-by-side comparison table on the same page shows different figures – Explorer $13, Premium $34, Team $84 a month, with Agency on custom pricing – and the two sets do not reconcile, so we publish both and flag the discrepancy rather than choosing one. All paid plans come with a 7-day free trial; annual billing is advertised as saving two months.
The trade-offs: conflicting published prices make budgeting awkward until checkout clarifies them; AI image and video quotas are the real metering, not posts; approval-first automation still needs a human in the loop to keep brand voice honest; and the breadth of claimed channels means depth per network may vary. For creators and small teams who want agent-style automation with an approval step rather than full autopilot, Bolta is one of the more ambitious takes in this batch.
Who it's for
Best for
- Creators and small teams who want recurring AI workflows - content
- replies
- performance reports - without full autopilot.
Not ideal for
- Buyers who need unambiguous published pricing
- and teams wanting deep per-network tooling rather than broad coverage.
How we tested
This listing was prepared through desk research by the AppsInsight editorial team. Primary sources: the official Bolta website (bolta.ai), its pricing page in both Individuals and Teams views, and the Product Hunt launch page (listed there as boltathread; the launch description's phrase 'AI Voice Cloning Engine' refers to writing voice per the official site, not audio cloning). Pricing is published inconsistently by the vendor: headline cards show Explorer $19/mo and Premium $49/mo while the comparison table shows $13/$34/$84 per month; both sets are recorded and the conflict is disclosed. The 5,000+ users figure and Meta Business Partner badge are the vendor's displayed claims. The logo is the official site header wordmark captured in place; screenshots are captures of the vendor's homepage product visuals. We did not conduct hands-on product testing; ratings reflect editorial judgment based on documented capabilities.
