Prices re-checked Nov 3, 2026 (first checked Oct 20, 2026) on Replit’s pricing page and Replit’s docs for AI billing, Starter, Core and Pro. Rival prices checked Oct 19–20, 2026. All are linked under Sources. This page has no affiliate links (how we work).
Replit’s pricing page is short: Core at $20, Pro at $100, Enterprise “Custom”. The bill is not short. Each paid plan includes a chunk of “Free Mode” Agent work plus a dollar credit for more powerful models, and anything past that is priced by effort, which Replit doesn’t convert into a dollar figure. If your invoice moved and you’re not sure why, that’s usually where.
We haven’t tested Replit. Everything below comes from Replit’s own pricing page and docs.
TL;DR: which Replit plan, by situation
- Learning or poking around: Starter, free. Daily Agent credits up to a monthly cap, “Lite build” only, and one published app that goes down after 30 days.
- Side project: Core, $20 a month ($18 billed yearly). Up to 30 hours of chat and 60 projects on Free Mode, plus $20 toward more powerful models.
- Shipping a real app: Pro, $100 a month ($90 billed yearly). More Free Mode, $100 toward the most powerful models, 10 active background tasks, 28-day database rollback, and unused credits that roll over for two months.
- A team: Core covers up to 5 builders and Pro up to 15 collaborators. Beyond that, Enterprise is custom.

What else each plan includes, from the same pages and the AI billing docs:
| Feature | Starter | Core | Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agent chat | Daily cap | Yes | Yes |
| Free Mode | Daily cap | Yes | Yes |
| Full build | No | Yes | Yes |
| Plan Mode | No | Yes | Yes |
| Background | 0 | 1 | 10 |
| Collaborators | 0 | 5 | 15 |
| Published apps | 1 (30 days) | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Pro also adds Premium Support, up to 50 viewers and database rollback up to 28 days. Core adds AI integrations, Plan mode and unlimited workspaces.
One odd thing: Starter isn’t on the pricing page anymore. The page shows Core, Pro and Enterprise only. The free plan still exists in Replit’s docs, but you have to go looking. Hiding the free tier is a choice, and not one that makes the pricing page more honest.
What “Free Mode” and model credits mean
Replit uses two buckets, and it helps to keep them apart.
Free Mode is Replit’s no-extra-cost lane. In the docs’ words: “Free Mode supports no-cost everyday Agent work for Core and Pro subscribers within its allowance” (AI billing docs, checked Oct 20, 2026). On Core, the pricing page puts that allowance at “Up to 30 hours of chat on Free Mode” and “Up to 60 projects on Free Mode”. On Pro it says “Even more Free Mode usage to chat and create”, without a number.
Model credit is the dollar amount that comes with your plan: “$20 towards more powerful models” on Core and “$100 towards most powerful models” on Pro (Replit pricing, checked Oct 20, 2026). Core’s docs say monthly credits “automatically apply to paid services” (Core docs).
Starter gets “daily credits for Agent usage, up to a monthly cap. These credits reset daily”, plus separate monthly credits for production databases, object storage and publishing (Starter docs, checked Oct 20, 2026). Replit doesn’t state the daily amount or the monthly cap in dollars. Production database storage on Starter is 1 GiB (publishing and database billing, checked Oct 20, 2026).
What Agent work costs once credits run out
Here’s the part people search for, and the honest answer is that Replit publishes the rules but not the price per task.
From the AI billing docs (checked Oct 20, 2026):
- Paid work is effort-based. “Paid modes and confirmed paid work use effort-based pricing based on request complexity.” “Simple requests… typically cost less than complex builds”.
- You get asked first. “Replit asks for confirmation before a paid action starts.”
- One checkpoint per request in Build Mode. Agent creates checkpoints as it works, one per request.
- Planning can cost money too. “In the paid path, Plan Mode can perform billable reasoning even when it does not change code.”
- Third-party APIs pass through. APIs that Agent uses are “billed at the provider’s public API rate, deducted from your Replit credits.”
- You can buy more. Credit packs are sold “with discounts on larger purchases”.
- A small welcome gift. “All subscribers receive one-time free Agent checkpoints.”
What Replit doesn’t publish: a dollar price per checkpoint, or any table of “this kind of task costs this much”. So we won’t make one up. The practical way to read your bill is the confirmation prompt: when Replit asks before a paid action, that’s your meter.
“Effort-based pricing” with no published price per checkpoint means you find out what a task costs after you’ve agreed to run it. The confirmation prompt helps, but builders deserve a rate card, not a vibe.
Do unused credits roll over? On Pro, yes: “Unused credits roll over for two months” (Pro docs, checked Oct 20, 2026). On Core, the docs don’t say, so plan as if they don’t until Replit confirms it.
Is there a Replit student or education plan?
Not a published one. We found no student or education plan on replit.com/pricing or in Replit’s docs index as of Oct 20, 2026. If you’re a student, Starter is the free option on paper. If your school has a deal, it isn’t on a public page.
Replit vs Lovable, Bolt and v0 on price
| Tool | Free tier | From | Unit | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Replit | Daily Agent credits | $20 Core | $20 credit + Free Mode | replit.com (Oct 20) |
| Lovable | 5 credits/day, 30/mo | $25 Pro | 100 credits | lovable.dev (Oct 19) |
| Bolt | 300K tokens/day, 1M/mo | $25 Pro | From 10M tokens | bolt.new (Oct 19) |
| v0 | 7 messages/day | $30/user Plus | $30 credit | v0.app (Oct 20) |
A few notes the table can’t fit:
- Replit is the cheapest paid entry at $20, and its Free Mode gives paid plans a no-cost lane for everyday Agent work.
- Lovable sells 100 credits on Pro at $25, or $21 a month billed yearly. Bolt Pro starts at 10M tokens a month, and unused tokens roll over on paid plans. Our Lovable vs Bolt post has the full credits-vs-tokens breakdown.
- v0 changed recently: Free now shows a “7 message/day limit”, and the “$2 of free daily credits on login” line has moved to Plus and Business. Plus is $30 per user with $30 of monthly credits, shown next to a struck-through $90.
If you can code and want an editor instead of an app builder, the bill looks different. See Cursor pricing and Claude Code pricing.
Here’s what I’d do
Learning: Starter. It’s free, and the 30-day published app is fine for showing a friend. Just know Full build and Plan Mode need Core.
Side project: Core at $20, billed yearly at $18 if you’re sure. Live in Free Mode as much as you can, and treat the $20 model credit as your “hard problems” budget. Watch for the paid-action confirmation prompt; that’s when money moves.
Shipping a real app: Pro at $100. The 28-day database rollback and two-month credit rollover are the features that matter once real users are involved. Ten active background tasks also help if you build a lot at once.
Team: Core covers up to 5 builders, Pro up to 15 collaborators. Need more? Ask about Enterprise.
If your bill keeps surprising you: check whether Plan Mode is running paid reasoning and whether Agent is calling third-party APIs. Both draw from your Replit credits.
