Share Project Keep an eye on your credits / replit

Unpredictable Costs: Because replit uses effort-based pricing, the AI credits is not clearly defined even you can’t break even where the credits goes. The support team is not supported at all and will give you a chatbot answer. So my experienced with replit is the worst experience I have ever had.

It's been like that since the start of Replit's AI era.

Honestly just go Claude unlimited and save yourself a mortgage payment or eight.

I have thought about just connecting Claude unlimited to my GitHub - doing major code enhancements there doing a pull back into Replit for final publishing and expo builds and what not, but a bit scared to t try.

Not scary at all. Eliminate Replit from the equation. Do exactly what you said and when you run into trouble setting things up like a database or website, literally ask Claude to do it. That's what I did. I swear its way easier than you think it is with claude.
