How does Replicate billing work?

Replicate uses a pay-per-use model where you're charged based on the compute time your predictions use. Different models have different per-second rates depending on the hardware required (CPU, GPU type). CostGoat helps you track this spending in real-time.

How do I check my Replicate credit balance?

You can check your balance at replicate.com/account/billing, but this requires logging in each time. CostGoat provides instant access to your balance from your desktop, no browser needed.

Does Replicate have free credits?

Replicate offers a small amount of free credits when you sign up, and occasionally through startup programs. Most usage beyond the trial is paid. CostGoat helps you track both free and paid credits.

Why are my Replicate costs higher than expected?

Replicate charges by compute time, not per prediction. Long-running models or those requiring expensive GPUs (like A100s) can add up quickly. CostGoat helps you track which models consume the most credits so you can optimize.

Can I add credits to Replicate?

Yes, you can add prepaid credits to your Replicate account at replicate.com/account/billing. Credits are deducted as you run predictions. CostGoat tracks your balance in real-time so you know when to top up.

How to Check Your Replicate Spend / Credits

Prefer to check manually? Here is how to find your spend and credit balance in the Replicate dashboard.

Open Account, then Billing

The Billing page shows your current spend for the month and any prepaid credit balance remaining on the account.

Review the usage breakdown

The billing and usage view breaks spend down by model and prediction, so you can see which models are driving your costs.
