None, because Bumble Boost is not something you receive a number of. It is the name of a subscription tier. Paying for it gets you a bundle of features. Some are unlimited and some run on a weekly allowance. The one thing you get every day on any plan is a free Extend.
Boost is a plan, not a push
Men search this because on other apps a Boost is a single paid push that shows you to more people for a short time. On Bumble that job belongs to a feature called Spotlight. Boost is the bundle that comes with it.
So the question to ask is what the plan includes, how often each part refills, and which of those parts you would actually use.
What the tier includes
The Boost tier gives you unlimited likes and a weekly allowance of SuperSwipes. It adds a Spotlight each week and unlimited Backtrack. You can also extend matches by 72 hours and rematch with expired connections.
Unlimited likes and unlimited Backtrack are not counted, so there is no daily number for them. The SuperSwipes and the Spotlight are the two on a weekly clock.
What refills, and when
Weekly SuperSwipes and Spotlights expire and replenish on the day of the week you originally bought the subscription. If you bought on a Tuesday, a fresh batch arrives each Tuesday, and whatever you did not use the week before is gone.
Higher tiers add to this. Boost and Premium each include a Spotlight every week, and Premium+ includes more. Bumble does not ask you to count days at all. It asks you to know your weekday.
What everyone gets for free
Everyone gets a free Extend every day, which adds time to a match that is about to expire. Boost, Premium and Premium+ members can extend as many matches as they like instead of a single one.
That free daily Extend is the nearest thing Bumble has to a per-day allowance. If you are on the free version and feeling short of time with your matches, use it on the woman you most want to talk to.
You can also buy single uses
If you do not want the whole tier, Spotlight, SuperSwipe and Notes can be bought one use at a time, in different quantities. Bumble sells them as consumables, meaning you use each one whenever you are ready and it does not run out on a weekly clock.
That is the right way to buy if you want one Spotlight on a Saturday evening and nothing else.
When a Spotlight is worth using
A Spotlight puts you in front of more people for a set period of time. It multiplies whatever your page already does, so it is only as good as the photos and prompts she lands on.
a dating coach's experience, from other apps, is that a push is most useful after you have been away from the app for a while and have not been shown to many people. He also says repeating it back to back brings smaller returns, because the app has fewer fresh, active people left to show you. Bumble has not said the same, so treat that as his read and not as a rule, but it is a good reason to use your weekly Spotlight once, at your best time, rather than all at once.
Should you pay for Boost at all
Look at the bundle against your actual problem.
If you run out of likes every day and have more women you would genuinely like, unlimited likes is useful. If you keep passing on someone by accident, unlimited Backtrack helps. If matches expire before you get to them, Extend does. If nobody is seeing you in the first place, a Spotlight might help, but only after your photos are good.
If your problem is that women match with you and then stop replying, nothing in Boost fixes that. The cheapest improvement is almost always a better first message and a lead photo that shows your face clearly.
A test you can run
Pick one plan, note your matches and replies for a week before, and compare the week after. If nothing moved, the plan was not the missing piece. Cancel before the renewal and spend the effort on your photos and what you write first.
