Overview

About Replit

Replit runs the whole build loop in a browser tab: an agent writes the code while the same account supplies the database, storage, hosting and publishing, so nothing is installed locally. Paid plans now pair a credit balance for the stronger models with Free Mode, a credit-free agent mode whose allowance refreshes every few hours. Core is $18 a month on annual billing with $20 of credits, Pro is $90 with $100 of credits and up to 15 collaborators, and anything past the balance bills pay-as-you-go by effort. Mobile apps cover iOS and Android.

How we collect these records

Editorial verdict

Pros & cons of Replit

medium confidence

Still the most complete build-and-ship-from-a-browser setup, and the new credit-free Free Mode makes everyday iteration cheaper than it was. The bill is still set by the agent, though: anything that needs the stronger models draws on a $20 balance on Core and then runs pay-as-you-go by effort.

Pros

Editor, agent, database, storage and publishing in one browser workspace
Free Mode allowance refreshes every few hours on paid plans, so routine chat does not burn credits
Annual billing trims Core to $18 and Pro to $90
iOS and Android apps for checking and nudging builds on the go

Cons

Effort-based overage makes the bill unknowable in advance
Core's $20 of model credits goes quickly on agent-heavy work
The free Starter plan has dropped off the pricing page, so the free path is harder to judge
No public API found for driving the agent programmatically

Best for

Solo builders who want code, database and hosting in one account without local setup
Prototypers who can do most iteration in Free Mode and save credits for hard steps
Small teams (up to 15 on Pro) shipping internal tools from a browser

Not for

Teams that need a fixed, predictable monthly AI bill
Developers who want to drive the agent programmatically, since no public agent API was found

Watch out: Core's $20 covers model credits, not unlimited agent time: once Free Mode limits are reached and the balance is spent, the agent bills pay-as-you-go at whatever effort it decides to use. Set a usage budget before the first long session.
