App-builder seat and credit-burn calculator
Check the seats you pay for now and how often you actually prototype. The waste figure is the annual cost of every selected seat except the one this call says to keep. It stays in this browser.

Select the seats you pay for. The Keep, Test First, and Cut call updates on this page.
How the call is made
- Keep legacy v0 Premium ($20/mo) if you already hold it. Cancelling that tier means you cannot buy it back. Otherwise keep one paid builder for the prototype shipping this month.
- Test First Bolt.new Free (1 million tokens a month, 300,000 daily limit) or Lovable Free (5 daily credits, up to 30 a month).
- Cut every other paid app-builder seat, and cut all of them when the builder has not shipped a commit in 30 days — except a legacy v0 seat you already hold.
Questions
Is v0's $20 Premium tier still available to new signups?
No. Checked 25 Oct 2026, legacy Premium at $20/mo is closed to new signups. New accounts start on Free at $0 with a one-time $5 signup credit and a 7-message daily limit. Existing Free accounts keep a recurring $5 monthly credit. The next paid rung is Plus at $30 per user a month.
Does Replit still have a free Starter tier?
No. The 25 Oct 2026 public table lists Core at $20/mo ($18 billed annually), Pro at $100/mo ($90 billed annually), and Enterprise. The free Starter tier from the 21 Aug check is off the page.
How long do v0 and Lovable credits last?
v0 monthly credits and top-ups expire after 65 days, and v0 locks purchased credits if the paid plan lapses. Lovable monthly credits expire after 2 months. Lovable daily grants do not roll over.
Should I pay for two AI app builders at once?
No. Keep at most one paid builder for the prototype you are shipping this month. If you already hold legacy v0 Premium at $20, keep that seat, because you cannot buy it back. Cut a second paid seat. If you only spin up a UI once a quarter, test Bolt.new Free or Lovable Free instead.
What does v0 Business add over Plus?
Business is $100 per user a month and Plus is $30 per user a month. Both include a $30 monthly credit allowance. The extra $70 buys training-data opt-out and team controls, not more generation capacity.
