Question 1

Are model costs included, or do I bring my own key or subscription?

Accepted Answer

Model costs are not included, and Replicas doesn’t resell model usage. You pay Replicas for the cloud workspaces agents run in, and each agent uses your own model account: Claude Code runs on a Claude subscription, an Anthropic API key, AWS Bedrock, or Microsoft Foundry; Codex on a ChatGPT subscription, an OpenAI API key, or Microsoft Foundry; Cursor on a Cursor API key; and OpenCode on OpenCode Go, OpenRouter, or your own endpoint. Your provider bills model usage on the plan you already have.

Question 2

What counts as usage?

Accepted Answer

Minutes a workspace is awake, at the rate for its size: $0.004, $0.008, or $0.016 a minute for small, large, and ultra within your included usage, and 1.5× that after. Every workspace counts the same, whether it was started from the app, Slack, Linear, GitHub, GitLab, the API, or an automation. There is no separate charge per automation run or API call. Workspaces sleep after 30 minutes without activity and use nothing while asleep or archived. Each session has a one-minute minimum.

Question 3

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every new organization gets $100 of usage with no credit card and no time limit. When it runs out, new workspaces are blocked and running ones are suspended, not deleted, until you subscribe to Developer or Team.

Question 4

Do you charge per seat, or for Full and Flex seats?

Accepted Answer

No. Seats don’t affect your bill, so there are no Full or Flex seats to buy. Invite your whole team. You pay only for workspace usage.

Question 5

What does a typical task cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on how long the agent works, and we don’t publish an average. As a guide, a task that keeps a workspace awake for 30 minutes uses $0.24 on a large workspace (4 vCPU, 16 GB memory) or $0.12 on a small one (2 vCPU, 8 GB memory), at the included rate. Model usage is extra and billed by your provider.

Question 6

What happens if we use more than our plan includes?

Accepted Answer

Usage beyond your included amount is billed at the overage rate, 1.5× the included rate, and charged once $50 is unpaid. Anything left goes on your renewal invoice. Admins can set a usage limit that puts workspaces to sleep when it’s reached, and alerts at a percentage or dollar amount.

Question 7

How does this compare to Devin’s ACU pricing?

Accepted Answer

As of October 2026, Devin’s self-serve plans (Pro at $20 a month, Max at $200, Teams from $80) no longer use ACUs. Each includes a usage quota that covers model usage, and extra usage is billed at API pricing. ACUs remain only on Devin Enterprise, at a rate set in each contract. Replicas charges only for workspace minutes, and you pay your model provider directly.

Question 8

How does this compare to Cursor’s usage pricing?

Accepted Answer

As of October 2026, Cursor’s paid plans run from $8 to $200 a month, and cloud agents start on Premium at $30. Each plan’s usage pool covers only Cursor’s Composer and Grok models. Claude, GPT, and Gemini are billed at API list price from prepaid credit, plus $0.25 per million tokens on Teams and Enterprise. Replicas runs Cursor with your Cursor API key, or Claude Code and Codex on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, and charges only for workspace minutes.
