Replit Agent vs Hosting: Same Credit Pool?
This page covers whether Replit Agent usage and publishing share one credit pool. The answer is plan-specific: Starter splits Agent daily credits from monthly cloud credits; Core and Pro share monthly credits. Current plan prices stay on Replit. Cross-builder coupling is on the deployment-limits matrix. This is not an Agent prompting guide.
Direct answer
If I burn Replit Agent credits, does hosting stop?
- Starter: two meters
- Fact Starter has daily credits for Agent usage, up to a monthly cap, that reset each day. It also has a separate monthly cloud-credit allowance for databases, object storage, and publishing (Autoscale and static). Agent daily credits are not the publishing meter. Exact daily Agent numbers are unpublished on the verified pages.
- Core and Pro: one monthly pool
- Fact Core and Pro monthly credits automatically apply to Agent, publishing, network transfer, database storage, and Replit AI Integrations. Publishing costs deduct from those monthly credits. Usage-based fees apply only after the included monthly credits are fully used. Do not copy this pool onto Starter.
- After Core/Pro included credits
- Fact Official publishing docs and Replit Support (16 Mar 2026) say the app keeps running and billing shifts to pay-as-you-go. A usage limit / budget can still hard-stop further spend. Starter’s upgrade copy is what documents pay-as-you-go as a Core unlock, not a Starter path.
- Starter publish expiry
- Fact Starter includes one published app that automatically goes down after 30 days. Full build is not included. That 30-day expiry is not the Core/Pro shared-credit overage path.
- Core vs Pro rollover
- Fact Core credits reset each billing cycle and do not roll over. Pro unused credits roll over for a documented additional period. Exact remaining balances are Unknown — account_dependent.

Plan-specific meters
| Plan | Agent meter | Hosting / cloud meter | Same pool? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | Fact Daily Agent credits, up to a monthly cap, reset each day. | Fact Separate monthly cloud credits for databases, object storage, and publishing. One published app expires after 30 days. | Fact No. |
| Core / Pro | Fact Monthly credits, plus Free Mode as a separate no-cost allowance with a five-hour reset and weekly limits on paid plans. Paid Agent work uses effort-based checkpoints. | Fact The same monthly credits cover publishing, then pay-as-you-go. | Fact Yes for included monthly credits, then overage. |
What this page does not do
- It does not invent Starter’s daily Agent credit count.
- It does not generalize Core/Pro’s shared monthly pool onto Starter.
- It does not treat Replit Support’s “app keeps running” line as a promise that an account without a payment method or with a spend cap will stay online.
- It does not mix these meters with Bolt’s split meters or v0’s Vercel hosting bill. See Bolt tokens vs hosting and v0 credits vs Vercel.
TraceCheck maintainer: review when Replit changes Starter’s split Agent-versus-cloud meters, Core/Pro shared monthly credits, Starter 30-day publish expiry, or spend-cap behavior. Do not invent Starter daily Agent numbers. Do not copy the Core/Pro pool onto Starter.
