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.
Instance types
| Instance | vCPU | Memory | Credits/hr | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 2 | 2 GB | 1 | LLM agents iterating on services, lightweight web apps |
| Large | 2 | 4 GB | 2 | Full-stack apps with heavier dependency installs, dual agents |
| Power | 2 | 8 GB | 4 | Complex apps with high memory usage or architectures. |
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.
