Replit pricing: plans, credits, and what Agent really costs

Replit has four plans: Starter is free, Core costs $20 a month ($18 billed yearly) and includes $20 of credits, Pro starts at $100 a month for $100 of credits and up to 15 builders, and Enterprise is custom. Credits pay for Replit Agent's Power and Max modes, publishing and hosting, databases and AI features in your app. Agent is billed by effort: each request creates a checkpoint priced by how much work it took, from a few cents to several dollars. Since August 2026, Free Mode lets Core and Pro users build with a smaller model without spending credits, within limits that reset every five hours.

How does Replit charge for Agent?

Since June 2025, effort-based pricing: each request you make produces one checkpoint, priced by how much work it took (Replit). When it launched, Replit said simple requests could cost as little as $0.06 and complex ones over $1, "sometimes … multiple dollars." You can see each checkpoint's cost in the Agent tab, and planning can cost credits even when no code changes.

Agent modes (Replit):

• Free: Free Mode, on OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Luna; Replit picks the model.
• Power: the everyday paid mode; "uses fewer credits per task."
• Max: the most capable models, at a higher cost per task.

Replit renamed its modes in August 2026: Economy became Power and the old Power became Max, at the same prices. It doesn't publish how much more Max costs than Power.

What is Replit Free Mode?

Launched in August 2026, Free Mode runs Agent on GPT-5.6 Luna without using credits, within limits that "reset every 5 hours," plus weekly caps (Replit). Replit's pricing page says Core includes up to 30 hours of chat a month and up to 60 projects in Free Mode; Pro gets more. Starter keeps its own daily credits instead.

How much does Replit hosting cost?

Publishing and databases are billed from the same credits (Replit). After price cuts on August 1, 2026:

• Autoscale: $0.60 per million compute units and $0.40 per million requests, plus a small monthly base fee.
• Reserved VM: from $15 a month (shared 0.5 vCPU, 2 GB) to $130 (dedicated 4 vCPU, 16 GB).
• Static: free hosting, with outbound data at $0.05 per GiB.
• PostgreSQL: $0.16 per compute hour and $0.35 per GiB-month of storage, for production databases only; development databases are free.

Core includes 100 GiB of outbound data a month. Connecting your own domain is free.

What happens when Replit credits run out?

Usage continues pay-as-you-go at the same rates, or you can buy prepaid packs ($100, or $290 for $300 of credits, up to $950 for $1,000), which expire after six months (Replit). Set usage alerts and a hard budget cap, which pauses paid services when reached. Core's monthly credits don't roll over.

Is Replit free for students?

Not free: students get "50% off Core with your .edu email" (Replit), which makes it $10 a month. Verified educators get Replit free.

How much is Replit in India or the UK?

Building as a team

Replit Pro pools credits for up to 15 builders, and each person's prompts draw on them. In Poly (usepoly.co), a team builds one app with one AI in a shared browser room: everyone sees each step live, any member can approve a change before it lands, and each turn's receipt shows who ran it. It runs Claude Code and Codex. Free to start. What is Poly?
