Usage component. Effort-based pricing: each Agent request creates at most one checkpoint priced on time and compute (simple edits from about $0.06; complex work several dollars). Deployments, compute, requests and storage metered separately.
How credits/tokens work. Monthly credits included with plan, then pay-as-you-go with spend controls. Agent modes (Power/Max, formerly Economy/Power/Turbo) trade cost for capability; model routing introduced Aug 2026.

What you can steal
Pricing
Effort-based pricing tracks Replit's costs but leaves the customer guessing what a prompt will cost. Show an estimate before the work runs, and never charge for the agent fixing its own mistakes.
