Choose a mode

  • Free Mode: Available on Core and Pro plans. Use your allowance to explore ideas, ask questions, start building, and keep everyday work moving. The allowance refreshes every , and Free Mode uses Auto to select the model.
  • Power Mode: A smart balance of speed and capability for most work. Use it when you need more than your Free Mode allowance or want a stronger default for an existing project.
  • Max Mode: The most capable option for complex, ambitious work, larger codebases, and harder problems.
Power Mode and Max Mode use monthly credits. Replit lets you know before a request shifts from Free Mode to a mode that incurs usage costs. Check your remaining Free Mode allowance in Settings → Usage. For practical tips, see Get the most out of Free Mode. Routines run in Power or Max Mode and require a per-run budget. They cannot run in Free Mode. Learn more about Routines.
