Bootstrap plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Where Bootstrap stops being free
Bootstrap, Free

No paid tier on record
Bootstrap lists a free tier and no priced tier above it in the record we hold.
What the product covers
The full Bootstrap feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Responsive grid
- Prebuilt components
- Sass customisation
- No jQuery dependency
People bring Bootstrap in for getting an internal tool or admin panel looking presentable quickly, prototypes where design time is not available, teams without a dedicated designer who need consistent, accessible defaults. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Bootstrap are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Web Development
Too few web development tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Bootstrap badges page.
Before you pay for Bootstrap
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Bootstrap runs on web, and is published by Bootstrap of Open source project. The full record is on the Bootstrap review, and the rest of the category is under best web development tools.
