Not listed on the pages we checked; preserved.
Replit's docs describe a Starter plan; the pricing page shows no Free card.
Plan names resolved 2026-10-27 via docs.replit.com/help/pricing-and-plans and replit.com/blog/pro-plan (2026-02-24): $20/$18 tier = Core, $100/$90 tier = Pro (former Teams sunset, members auto-upgraded).

CORRECTION 2026-10-27 (official pricing FAQ): added the Free Mode allowance model (5-hour resets, weekly limits) and effort-based paid overage incl. billable Plan-mode reasoning, add-on credit packs, and the explicit no-free-trial / Starter-free-without-time-limit distinction.
Agent modes: Economy and Power on all plans; Pro/Enterprise add Turbo.
Vendor honesty quote on pricing page: 'Replit Agent is powered by large language models.
While it can produce powerful results, its behavior is probabilistic - meaning it may occasionally make mistakes.' Web (replit.com); Desktop App: native for Windows, Mac, and Linux (Debian-based distributions); Mobile App: iOS 18+ (iPhone/iPad; also runs on macOS Tahoe Macs and paired Apple Watch) and Android.
Note: in-app iOS usage-based billing add is US-only per docs (payment nuance, not an availability statement).
