Replit pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives

Replit (replit.com) is a AI app builder. Flat monthly plans (Core, Pro) that include a dollar allowance of AI and cloud usage, with pay-as-you-go usage beyond it; Enterprise by quote.. No free plan.

What Replit costs

  • 1 builder: $20/mo (Core $20/mo billed monthly ($18/mo billed annually); includes $20/mo of usage credits plus capped Free Mode (up to 30 hours of chat, 60 projects). Publishing/hosting is paid from the credits; custom domains with Replit-issued TLS are supported (domain bought from your registrar). The free Starter plan was removed in Sep 2026.)
  • 5 builders: $100/mo (Pro $100/mo flat billed monthly ($90/mo billed annually), up to 15 collaborators and 50 viewers, $100/mo of credits shared by the workspace. The pricing page lists collaborators only on Pro, so Core is not used; the per-seat Teams plan ($35/user) was retired in Apr 2026.)

Plan compared: Core. Cheapest paid plan, billed monthly, that lets one person build with the AI and publish an app on their own domain, and the total for 5 people co-editing in one workspace. AI credit allowances differ by vendor and are listed next to each price rather than normalized; free plans and separately billed hosting are not counted.
