Replit MobileShipsAgent-built Expo apps with a guided submission walkthrough.
Expo + EASShipsThe control row. What every Expo builder is ultimately doing.On free tier, Replit Mobile does not publish it and Expo + EAS is $0 /MONTH — 15 Android and 15 iOS builds. On cheapest paid plan, Replit Mobile is $20 per month (Replit Core) and Expo + EAS is $19 /MONTH + additional usage cost (Starter). On cheapest plan that reaches ios, Replit Mobile does not publish it and Expo + EAS is $0 /MONTH (Free). On what the plan is metered in, Replit Mobile is $20 a month towards top models and Expo + EAS is Build credit, then metered. StoreReady sells neither of these and takes no referral fee on either — it scores them. Every figure was read off the named company's own page on or since 2026-09-18; the URLs and the dates are at the foot of this page, and a job re-fetches each one on a schedule and fails when a figure is no longer on the page it came from.
The rows in brighter ink are the ones the two companies answer differently.
The app is really a full-stack product and the mobile shell is the least of it. Replit is the only entry here that gives you the database, the deploys, the collaborators and the agent on one bill: Core at $20 carries "$20 towards most powerful models", "plan mode" and "unlimited workspaces", and Pro adds "10 parallel agents" and "up to 15 collaborators". It is no longer the free option, which it was until 2026-09-18.
Free tier. Not published
replit.com/pricing lists Core at $20 ("$18 / month, billed annually"), Pro at $100 ($90) and Enterprise at Custom. No $0 plan appears on it. The free Starter tier this row carried until 18 September 2026, "Free daily Agent credits" and "Publish up to 1 project", is off the page. What the page still calls free is a usage mode inside Core: "up to 30 hours of chat on free mode" and "up to 60 projects on free mode".
Cheapest paid plan. $20 per month (Replit Core)
$20 monthly, $18 billed annually. Replit Pro is $100 a month, $90 annually.
Cheapest plan that reaches iOS. Not published
Replit's pricing page prices projects, credits, collaborators and agents. No tier on it names iOS, the App Store, or a mobile build — the publishing it describes is deployment on Replit.
What the plan is metered in. $20 a month towards top models
Credit-denominated rather than per seat. Core includes $20 a month towards the most powerful models and Pro $100; the page sells larger monthly blocks at $215, $425, $825 and $2,000.
You can write the app, and what you actually need is the build and submit pipeline. Expo's free tier is the only one in this table that both compiles for iOS and submits — "15 Android and 15 iOS builds" and "Submit to app stores", at $0 a month — and everything above it is the same service with more credit and a faster queue rather than a feature gate.
Free tier. $0 /MONTH — 15 Android and 15 iOS builds
Also "Submit to app stores", 60 minutes of CI/CD workflows and updates to 1K monthly active users.
Cheapest paid plan. $19 /MONTH + additional usage cost (Starter)
Includes $45 of build credit, a high-priority queue and large workers. Production is $199 /MONTH with $225 of credit.
Cheapest plan that reaches iOS. $0 /MONTH (Free)
⛔ The one row in this table where the App Store is reachable on the free tier — 15 iOS builds and "Submit to app stores" are both listed under Free. What Expo does not do is write the app; every other entry here generates the code and then charges you for the store.
What the plan is metered in. Build credit, then metered
Both paid tiers carry that line. Past the included credit builds are metered, so this is the row whose real cost depends on how often you compile rather than on what you are building.
