Question / Discussion It's now cheaper to pay a software engineer than use Replit

Post image
13 Upvotes

To be generous, let's call this an even $2 a minute. That's $160 an hour.

A highly competent mid-level software engineer comes in at around $100 an hour.

This was for a one-line fix that a junior on their first day could have done.

I'm seeing exaggerated charges like this more and more all the time. And I've been around long enough to remember when a job like this cost 10 cents at most.

They say the trick to boiling a frog alive is to slowly increase the temperature one degree at a time so they don't notice. This frog is starting to notice.

They keep this up and there's gonna be a lot of frogs leaping out of this water pretty soon.

Replit Help / Site Issue Need help; support is useless (support ticket 472138)

2 Upvotes

I had over $100 dollars in cycles from the Bounties program. Before it was sunset on September 6th, 2025 (under 11 months ago), they said that those cycles will be converted to usage credits.

I have never seen those, and tried to get support, but it is locked behind a paywall. The only support I have access to is the AI bot Quinn, which is completely useless as it has no knowledge about the sunset. It notified me that credits expire in 12 months and I need a core subscription to use credits.

Please confirm if what it said was true, and confirm, preferably a staff, that if I buy a core subscription right now that I will receive my $100+ in credits usable for AI.

Hello! I noticed today the previous UI in Android is back and I don't want to get my hopes high too soon. Is this reversion temporary? If somebody from support could answer it would be amazing.

Question / Discussion Has anyone else noticed Replit credits disappearing much faster lately?

6 Upvotes

I actually signed up for Reddit just to ask this question. šŸ˜… I've been reading discussions here for a while, but this is my first post, so go easy on me!

Since yesterday, I've noticed something strange with Replit.

My credits are draining incredibly fast, even though I'm using the same agent and the same type of tasks as before. It feels like they're disappearing after just a few prompts.

I'm not sure if this is a bug related to the recent update or if Replit has changed how credit usage is calculated.

Out of curiosity, I asked my girlfriend to create a brand-new account (she had never used Replit before). Surprisingly, her free credits were almost gone after only 3–4 prompts.

That makes me think this isn't related to whether the account is paid or free. It also doesn't seem to be location-specific—we tested from two different countries (Germany and the Netherlands) and saw the same behavior.

Has anyone else experienced this over the last couple of days, or is it just us?

Replit Assistant / Agent Thank you Support!

Support team member 'Kiki'!

Especially the support gets a long drag through the mud here on Reddit..

I wasn't able to redeploy because of some issue, the agent recommended I talk to support. I filed a claim. Within 15 minutes they sent me a list of how to resolve it and the information that they would need in order to help. Before the hour was up and prior to me doing the list or responding to the initial email I received a second email from Kiki saying that they solved the problem.

Well done Replit! Thank you. I couldn't be happier with the service.

Replit Assistant / Agent How to get the agent to stop creating a new account every time it tests the app

3 Upvotes

Is there a setting somewhere where the agent can be assigned credentials to my app rather than wasting time and tokens on doing the whole song and dance of trying and failing and trying and failing and then eventually figuring out how to gain access for testing? This seems like something that should just be automatic but maybe I'm missing something.

Replit Help / Site Issue Being charged after deleting my account ā€¼ļøā€¼ļø

6 Upvotes

Hello I used replit for sometime and made payment regularly to the account, now I closed my account and literally deleted the whole thing and they are still trying to charge my card 20$ then 50$ I have notification from my bank everyday literally despite closing the account fully. I tried to reopen the account with the same email to unlink my card but the account was brand new and I can’t unlink my card so what do I do now, I literally can’t use that bank card anymore because they will keep taking money out of my card. I also can’t contact support as it says on the website ā€œsubscriptionā€ is required to text support which is so ridiculous it makes nonsense. I hope someone could help because this is pissing me off and is very frustrating to deal with. ā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļø

Question / Discussion Building a core application to run my business am I crazy?

6 Upvotes

Hi all, first time poster but I’ve been using Replit for about 4 months, during which time I spent about $3k to build the internal operating system for my small-ish training company. We deliver about 250 classes a year and I built the admin interface to manage the whole business. Scheduling, invoicing, task management, CRM, all rolled into one clean tool. I’m about to hit my 700th completed task. I can write sql queries, but don’t have any real coding experience.

Seeing the posts here, I’m worried I’m not going to be able to reasonably maintain this behemoth software I’ve built. I used supabase instead of the replit db in an initial attempt to make sure the system was stable, but as my feature set expands and the tool becomes more robust, I worry it will become unstable and my lack of any coding resources will leave me spending as much to maintain it as it took to build in the first place.

Are my fears unfounded? Or if they are reasonable, are there solutions? I did try running Claude code in a shell for a simple feature and it was unsuccessful and had to be rebuilt/debugged by Replit. Am I doomed?

Replit Help / Site Issue Urgent help needed: Replit-created Neon database disabled and I have no Neon account/dashboard access

1 Upvotes

I urgently need help from a Replit moderator or someone familiar with legacy Replit/Neon databases.

My live business platform, is currently inaccessible because users cannot log in. Replit Agent has diagnosed that the application’s real database is connected through NEON_DATABASE_URL, but the Neon endpoint is returning:

ā€œThe endpoint has been disabled. Enable it using the API and retry.ā€

I never created a Neon account or database separately. The database appears to have been provisioned through Replit or Replit Agent, but there is no Neon integration in my Replit Integrations panel and I have no Neon dashboard or API access to re-enable it.

What I have established so far:

  • The disabled Neon database contains the authoritative live data from approximately 4 May onwards.
  • An older Replit/Helium database copy is accessible, but it is frozen at 3 May and is around 11 weeks out of date.
  • That older copy contains 100 users, 73 companies, listings, messages and other data, but newer registrations and activity are believed to exist only in Neon.
  • The current Replit Production Database contains only two old/test accounts and is not the correct database.
  • I have not authorised any migration, overwrite, secret change or republish.
  • I have submitted an urgent request to Replit Support.

I need help identifying who owns the Replit-provisioned Neon project, re-enabling the existing endpoint without affecting its data and gaining dashboard access so I can immediately export a full backup and migrate safely.

This is a live business platform and I have customer demonstrations scheduled today, so the outage is extremely urgent.

If a Replit moderator can help escalate this, I can provide the app details and endpoint ID privately. I don’t want to post connection strings or credentials publicly.

Thank you.

Replit Top Tips Top tip: Use Replit to create stickiness on your website

3 Upvotes

Back in the olden days before AI and Replit, any additional interactive pages on your website were a lot more money to the web developers who were building it for your. So cool little extras were a luxury very few could afford.

But Replit has completely changed the game, and I highly recommend you take advantage.

Add things with your new AI building skills to create "stickiness", which will keep your visitors coming back and hold them on your site for longer.

In my case, Solitaire only took 6 minutes to build, using Replit, and the cost was less than $2 in credits. It's easily the most popular page on my whole site, with Space Invaders and other games a close second.

And yes, the About and services/pricing pages are up there too: "I've just completed another room in Jet Set Willy, so I suppose I better find out what Steve actually offers." 🤣

Now we have AI building platforms like Replit, fun or interesting extras on your site are no longer costly or time consuming to add. And they will keep your visitors hanging around.

The days are over of being held back by a bunch of old-school developers who do a sharp intake of breath through their teeth, shake their head and tell you "sorry mate, adding that extra page is gonna be really expensive".

Replit Assistant / Agent Is Replit Broken now?

15 Upvotes

I don't know what happened recently, but Replit has gone to shit. Everything is impossible to navigate to, the popup menus flood the screen that I can't get around, and so far I've lost two agents full work since closing out of those pop-up windows made those agents chats close, pushing nothing whatsoever up to the main build chat. Main build marks it complete both times, I cannot reopen those chats (which I truly need to be able to) and nothing shows up in history. So the most I can get is a quick chat rundown which doesn't include the most important discussion itself that was had. All that time and usage spent, for nothing. Twice. It's turned into such a mess. Has a hard time even finding its own md files it makes now. What am I missing?

Question / Discussion I want to get off Replit’s paid plan, and on Supabase's free plan

5 Upvotes

I already moved Postgres DB from Replit to Supabase DB, so now it’s:

mobile/web → Replit Express API → Supabase Postgres

Should I:

- Move the Express API to Railway/Render/Fly/Vercel?
- Rewrite the backend as Supabase Edge Functions?
- Just stay on Replit if the cost is similar?

I’m keeping Clerk for now unless Supabase Auth has a strong advantage. I only need simple auth emails, but custom Clerk emails cost extra.

Goal: lowest cost, lowest risk, no unnecessary rewrite. What would you choose?

Rant / Vent better experience

0 Upvotes

hi Replit, first of all i want to say that this is the MOST AMAZING app ive ever seen, but after some time of ai making the game i told it to make, now i have to wait for 1 month to continue again.. this is like really unfair because ive been wanting to make a game by myself for years now but never really knew how to or it was too difficult, until i found Replit! i was sooo soo happy to finally make the games i wanted to make (its actually a very simple game) but suddenly the credits ran out and i cant make it anymore, its very frustrating, it would be so much better if this making games for unlimited times was free, and for paid version for it to have better experience. i suffer with depression and this was the only thing i found that made me happy but my happiness was short lived.. im very dissapointed and sad.. it would be better if this credits would be added daily even.. so you can continue making the game you wanted to make everyday without having to wait redecilous amount of time just to continue again..
