Credits and billing

Replicas uses a single credit balance to cover every workspace you run. Credits are used per-hour while a workspace is active, so you only pay for the time your agents and teammates are actively building.

Included credits

  • Sign-up bonus: 20 credits to explore the platform with no commitment.
  • Developer plan: $29/month and 400 credits added to your balance on renewal. This provides roughly 400 hours on a Standard VM.
Unused credits roll over within the same billing cycle. Top-ups will be available soon, with Developer users having preferred rates.

Instance types

InstancevCPUMemoryCredits/hrIdeal for
Standard22 GB1LLM agents iterating on services, lightweight web apps
Large24 GB2Full-stack apps with heavier dependency installs, dual agents
Power28 GB4Complex apps with high memory usage or architectures.
Choose the smallest VM that can compile, test, and run your stack comfortably. You can delete and recreate a workspace on a larger size if an agent needs more headroom.

Usage tips

  • Delete idle workspaces after merging changes, as credits only burn while the VM is active.
  • Treat workspaces like disposable environments. Keep source of truth in Git, sync secrets with replicas.json, and rehydrate as needed.
