how agent billing works
Free Mode costs nothing within your allowance. Replit picks the model for you.
Power Mode and Max Mode use your monthly credits. Replit tells you before a request moves from Free Mode into a paid mode.
paid work is effort-based. each request ends in one checkpoint, and a small bug fix usually costs less than a whole new feature. some agent features call third-party models such as Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini, billed at the provider's public API rate from your Replit credits.
your credits cover more than agent. publishing, databases, storage and data transfer come out of the same monthly credits.
the catches (read these)
1. Starter's app goes down after 30 days. you get one published app and it carries a "made with Replit" badge. Core removes both limits.
2. starter can't do full builds. it's Lite build only. no Plan Mode, no connectors (Google, Stripe and the like) and no Replit AI integrations.
3. hosting eats the same credits. a busy published app and a busy agent share one pot. keep an eye on the usage dashboard.
4. set a budget. Replit has usage alerts and budgets under billing in settings. use them before you start a big build.
5. Pro is for teams. 15 builders with pooled credits, no per-user fees, and 28 days of database recovery instead of 7.
