Deployment pricing
Comprehensive overview of Replit Deployment pricing across all deployment types.
This guide provides a comprehensive overview of Replit’s Deployment pricing. The pricing model is designed to be flexible, allowing you to choose the best option for your app’s needs.
How deployment billing works
All deployment costs are deducted from your monthly credits. You will only be charged for usage-based fees after your monthly credits have been fully used.
- Core Plan: Includes in monthly credits.
- Teams Plan: Includes in monthly credits per member.
Credits are applied automatically to all Deployment costs. Unused credits don’t roll over to the next month. Learn more about usage-based billing.
