## FAQ

**What is Replit Agent?**

Replit Agent is the AI builder inside Replit. You describe an app or other project in chat, and it writes the code, sets up databases, tests the result and can publish it. Paid plans add Power and Max modes and intelligent model routing.

**Is Replit free?**

Yes, there is a free Starter plan. It gives daily Agent credits up to a monthly cap, Lite build, monthly cloud credits and one published app, which goes down after 30 days. Full build, connectors, Plan Mode and badge removal need Core or higher.

**How much does Replit cost?**

Based on third-party sources, Core is about $20 per month and Pro is about $100 per month, with lower rates on annual billing. Enterprise pricing is custom. Confirm current prices at replit.com/pricing.

**How many people can work in one Replit Workspace?**

Core lets you invite up to 5 builders and Pro up to 15, with no per-user fees. Enterprise has unlimited seats.

**Does Replit have a mobile app?**

Yes. Replit has iOS and Android apps for building with Agent, editing projects and publishing to the web. Core can be bought in the app, but Pro must be bought on replit.com. Building a native iOS app needs the Project Editor on replit.com.

**How is Agent usage billed?**

Agent work, publishing, network transfer and database storage are paid from monthly credits, with pay-as-you-go billing for usage beyond the included credits. Replit's docs say usage-based billing needs a payment method on file.
