Summary
Our read
- Where it fits best: Teams, multi-language tools, apps needing scheduled jobs.
- Ease (4/5): Close to the top of our scale: a non-coder can get to a working tool, but should expect more steering and more time than with the 5/5 tools.
- Hosting: included (Built-in deployments, Postgres, Replit Auth; usage-billed compute). That shortens setup; it also means your app and its data live on Replit's platform.
- Metering to watch: usage-billed compute; usage billing can exceed base price; allowances are counted in credits. Set a monthly spending cap before you start.
Pricing
Plans and prices
- Starter free
- Core $20/mo ($18 annual)
- Pro $100/mo ($90 annual)
- Enterprise custom
Several plans show a lower monthly rate when billed annually (in brackets above). Pricing source: replit.com, checked 2026-10-16. Prices are USD per month unless noted.
Free plan
What the free plan includes
- Starter: daily Agent credits (monthly cap unpublished), Lite build only
- one free published app that goes down after 30 days, with Made with Replit badge
Worth knowing: free Starter plan is not shown on replit.com/pricing; documented at https://docs.replit.com/billing/plans/starter-plan.
Use the free plan to test one real workflow end to end before paying. Free allowances are the part of any plan that changes most often.
Hosting and data
Where your app and data live
Hosting and deployment: Built-in deployments, Postgres, Replit Auth; usage-billed compute.
Data and security notes:
- Enterprise adds SSO/controls
- usage billing can exceed base price
Before you upload anything sensitive, decide what data the tool may hold and who will maintain it once it works.
