Cheapest verified paid plan: Pro · $25/mo

Pick it when

$25/mo

Verify

Billing docs say annual saves 10%. A worked example on the same page lists the Pro 10M annual plan at $216/year, which is not 10% off $25/mo. Confirm the annual price in the upgrade dialog.

Replit plans

Last verified 2026-10-19

Starter

Individual

Free

Verified

Daily Agent allowance and Free Mode with a daily cap. One published app, listed as 30-day on the Core comparison table. Built-in database. Exact daily credit count is not a single published number.

The 30-day publish window is on the Core plan comparison table. The daily credit count is still not one published number.

Core

Individual

$20/mo

Verify

On 2026-10-19 the pricing page showed $18/mo billed annually next to $20. The page still mixes the subscription price, the annual rate, and the $20 credit line.

$20 toward more powerful models. The pricing page listed up to 30 hours of Free Mode chat and up to 60 projects on Free Mode. Credits do not roll over.

Core docs list 1 active background task. The pricing page on 2026-10-19 did not print a parallel-task count. The $20 subscription figure is used for matching and marked verify because the page layout mixes it with the annual rate and the credit line.

Pro

Individual

$100/mo

Verify

The pricing page showed $90/mo billed annually on 2026-10-19.

$100 toward more powerful models, more Free Mode usage, up to 15 collaborators, and database rollback up to 28 days. Docs say unused credits roll for two months.

The $100 list price is consistent. The $90 annual rate is marked verify with the rest of this card because the pricing page markup is easy to misread.

When Bolt.new runs out

Free tokens reset on the 1st and do not roll over. The daily 300K cap resets every day and also does not roll. Paid tokens reset on the renewal date and roll for one extra month while the subscription stays active.

On Free, wait for the daily reset, or for the 1st if the monthly million is gone.

When Replit runs out

Starter keeps a daily cap. Core and Pro Free Mode allowances reset every five hours and also have weekly limits, per Replit's plan docs. Core credits reset each billing cycle and do not roll over. Pro credits roll for two months.

Stay in Free Mode for everyday agent work. Power and Max spend credits and Replit asks before a paid action.
