A development workspace for building and running apps
Replit brings conversational app creation and conventional development into the same workspace. Agent turns a description into a web application, with a frontend, server-side logic and database connections where needed. The editor exposes the resulting files, so developers can change code directly instead of relying on prompts for every adjustment. Web, desktop and mobile access let teams return to the same hosted projects across devices.
The platform also handles publishing and production infrastructure. Different deployment types suit traffic-driven web apps, continuously running services, static sites or scheduled work. Managed PostgreSQL separates development from production databases. A preview remains distinct from the published version: changes become live through another publish. Git tools provide commits, branches and repository integration for teams that keep source outside the workspace.
Its pricing combines a subscription with resource consumption. Free Mode covers everyday AI work within the plan allowance, while Power and Max charge according to the effort a request requires. Agent reasoning can consume credits even without changing code. Published apps also generate compute, database and storage charges. This makes Replit useful for app creation and ongoing operation, with running costs depending on the actual application.
Best for
- Founders building web apps and internal tools
- Developers who want an editor alongside AI generation
- Teams keeping development and deployment in one platform
Limitations
Starter’s free published app expires after 30 days and carries Replit branding; full Agent builds and advanced integrations require a paid plan. Paid usage credits cover both development and cloud resources. Plan Mode can be chargeable without a code change, and spending limits can suspend services. A Git repository does not automatically migrate production data or secrets.

Is Replit free?
Starter is free with limited Agent and cloud allowances. It supports one free published app that expires after 30 days. Paid plans add full builds and larger allowances.
Does Replit include hosting?
Yes. Replit provides several deployment types, with production resource usage billed according to the app and plan. Subscription credits can cover eligible usage, but do not make hosting unlimited.
Can I edit Replit’s generated code?
Yes. The hosted editor exposes the source, and Git tools support commits, branches and GitHub integration.
Are Replit credits a fixed number of prompts?
No. Paid Agent requests use effort-based pricing, and credits also cover eligible cloud usage. Plan Mode reasoning may be billed even when it produces no code change.
