- Subject: Replit Agent
- Pricing: Previously $0.25 per checkpoint; new Effort-Based pricing: simple tasks may cost less than $0.25, more complex tasks may cost more than $0.25.

Replit replaced its $0.25-per-checkpoint pricing for Replit Agent with an Effort-Based pricing model that charges per request based on the time and computation used. Simple tasks now typically cost less than $0.25, while complex tasks are bundled into a single checkpoint that may cost more. The new pricing is effective immediately for new users and rolls out to existing Core and Teams subscribers starting July 1st, alongside new per-request controls for a high-power model and extended thinking.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://replit.com/blog/effort-based-pricing:

> With our new Effort-Based pricing model, simple changes still result in a single checkpoint—typically costing less than $0.25. Larger or more complex tasks are no longer split across multiple $0.25 checkpoints. Instead, they will be bundled into one checkpoint, which may cost more than $0.25 but reflects the total effort involved.
