Replit AI features use usage-based billing. All subscribers get one-time free Agent checkpoints. Core subscribers get monthly credits, and Pro subscribers get tiered monthly credits that roll over for two months. These credits cover Agent and other Replit cloud services such as published apps, storage, databases, network transfer and Replit AI Integrations. Free Mode covers no-cost everyday Agent work for Core and Pro within an allowance that refreshes every five hours. Starter has a daily cap. Paid modes (Power, Max, and Auto inside them) use effort-based pricing: Agent charges one checkpoint per request, priced by complexity, and asks for confirmation before paid work starts. Third-party APIs that Agent uses are billed at the provider's public API rate from Replit credits. Core and Pro can buy credit packs ($100, $300 for $290, $500 for $480, $1,000 for $950), which expire after six months and do not roll over. Starter gets daily Agent credits up to a monthly cap, plus monthly credits for cloud usage.
