Replit axes free Starter plan, ties Core and Pro bullets to Free Mode
What happened
Between the Sep 10, 2026 and Sep 11, 2026 captures of Replit's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: The free Starter plan card (Free, daily agent credits, built-in database, publish 1 project, 1 background task, Sign up CTA) was removed entirely; the page now opens directly with Core, Pro, and Enterprise; Core's Starter-linked 'More free agent usage' bullet was replaced with quantified 'Up to 30 hours of chat' and 'Up to 60 projects' on Free Mode; Pro's bullet was similarly reworded to referenc. In detail: Core's Starter-linked 'More free agent usage' bullet was replaced with quantified 'Up to 30 hours of chat' and 'Up to 60 projects' on Free Mode; Pro's bullet was similarly reworded to reference Free Mode. Pulse files it as a packaging change (feature change, freemium change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 2026) lists Replit Core at $18 and Replit Pro at $90.
It lands 4 days after Replit's previous change, "Replit drops Core's 2 parallel agents, caps free tier to one task" (Sep 7, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Replit tightens agent limits: Core loses parallel-agent count, free tier capped at one background task" (Sep 2, 2026) and "Replit: Core/Pro annual discounts rebalanced + multi-agent parallelism added" (Jul 4, 2026). Replit has been tracked since 2024-11-17.
In the same window JetBrains, Gitpod and Google Cloud also changed their Software Development & Testing pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
