Replit

About

Replit is a cloud platform where you describe what you want in plain language and its AI Agent builds, runs and publishes it. Replit's own site calls it "the AI platform that helps you turn your ideas into real outcomes", for apps, sites, tools and businesses in one place. Projects come with a database, authentication, hosting and monitoring built in. As of October 2026 there is a free Starter plan, Core at $20 a month (or $18 a month billed annually), Pro from $100 a month (or $90 a month billed annually) and custom-priced Enterprise. See also our Replit alternatives, Replit vs v0 and Replit vs Lovable comparisons, and our Replit AI guide. What Replit does • Agent: chat with Agent to build, debug and change your app. Replit lists Free Mode (build and chat at no extra cost within an allowance) and paid Power and Max modes for harder work. • Intelligent model routing: on paid modes Replit can pick the model for each task. Replit says this gives the same quality output at 65% lower average cost than the previous version of Max Mode, which is its own figure. • Many kinds of output: on Core and Pro, Agent can build web apps, mobile apps, data visualizations, slide decks, animated videos and more. The homepage also lists documents, spreadsheets and 3D games as starting points. • Design Canvas and Visual Editor: explore designs visually, generate variations, then apply them to your app or edit content and layout directly. • Built-in infrastructure: authentication, database, hosting and monitoring with no setup, plus 100+ integrations such as OpenAI, Stripe and Google Workspace. • Plan Mode: brainstorm and plan work with Agent without editing code or data (Core and Pro). • Enterprise controls: SSO/SAML, SOC 2 and admin controls are listed on the homepage. Pricing (as of October 2026) Replit says prices may be subject to tax depending on your location, and yearly billing is "up to 10% off". • Starter: free. Daily Agent credits up to a monthly cap, monthly credits for cloud usage (production databases, object storage and publishing), Lite build, Design Canvas and one free published app that goes down after 30 days and carries a "Made with Replit" badge. • Core: $20 a month, or $18 a month billed annually. Includes $20 towards more powerful models, up to 30 hours of chat and up to 60 projects on Free Mode, Plan Mode, unlimited workspaces and AI integrations. Replit's docs add Full build, paid Agent modes, connectors, all artifact types, unlimited published apps, badge removal, up to 5 builders and 1 background task at a time. • Pro: from $100 a month, or $90 a month billed annually. Includes $100 towards the most powerful models, 10 parallel agents, premium support, up to 15 collaborators, up to 50 viewers and database rollback up to 28 days. Replit's docs say Pro comes in several credit tiers, with discounts on larger tiers. Replit's docs say unused Pro credits roll over for two months. • Enterprise: custom. SSO, SCIM and audit logs, advanced privacy controls, centralized security management, single-tenant and private networking options, and dedicated premium support. What the free Starter plan leaves out Replit's Starter plan page says these need Core or above: Full build, converting a design into a full app with a backend, third-party connectors, Replit AI Integrations, removing the badge, more than one published app, Plan Mode and artifact types other than web and mobile apps. Recent launches (from the official changelog) • 23 October 2026: Monitoring Agent, which can look into production issues using your app's logs and metrics and attempt fixes; workspace skills that Agent can suggest; sharing a chat or asset with teammates; Stripe Atlas incorporation with 20% off through Replit; and keeping published apps running at zero credits up to an overage limit for eligible top-up customers. • 16 October 2026: Claude Haiku 5.5 in Power Mode for Core and Pro, a Replit Solutions Partners directory, and Bring Your Own Cloud options for enterprises (full platform in private preview, published apps and image exports in early access). • 9 October 2026: Replit Desktop for Windows in private preview, building and running apps locally in isolated sandboxes; working across projects from a single chat; and creating TikTok ads from chat. • 2 October 2026: GPT-6.1 Sol (Max Mode) and Claude Sonnet 5.5 (Power Mode) for Agent, Jev through Replit AI Integrations, and a new full-page Settings. Who it suits • Founders and solo builders who want one place to build, host and grow an app, starting free. • Product managers and designers turning ideas into working prototypes and designs. • Operations and IT teams building internal tools and dashboards with SSO and admin controls. • Engineering teams that want parallel agents, shared credits for up to 15 builders and longer database recovery (Pro). Limitations to know • A free Starter app stays published for only 30 days and shows the Replit badge. • Paid Agent modes, connectors and Plan Mode require Core or above. • Usage is credit based, so heavy Agent use or busy apps can cost more than the plan price; Replit offers spend controls and pay-as-you-go billing. • Core is limited to 5 builders and 1 background task; more needs Pro. • Replit notes that Agent is powered by large language models and "may occasionally make mistakes".
