Replit drops Core's 2 parallel agents, caps free tier to one task
What happened
Between the Aug 31, 2026 and Sep 7, 2026 captures of Replit's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Core plan's explicit '2 parallel agents' capacity line was dropped from the card; Starter (free) plan now explicitly caps usage to 'Run one background task at a time'. Pulse files it as a packaging change (limit decrease) with a downward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 2026) lists Replit Core at $18 and Replit Pro at $90.
It lands 5 days after Replit's previous change, "Replit tightens agent limits: Core loses parallel-agent count, free tier capped at one background task" (Sep 2, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Replit axes free Starter plan, ties Core and Pro bullets to Free Mode" (Sep 11, 2026), "Replit: Core/Pro annual discounts rebalanced + multi-agent parallelism added" (Jul 4, 2026) and "Replit bundles AI Integrations into Core plan" (Jun 9, 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.
