Usage widget — "Your Starter Plan"
Bars showing:
- Free Apps 5/10 created — filled ~50%.
- Agent credits 0% used — empty.
- Cloud credits 0% used — empty.
- + Upgrade to Replit Core — blue primary button.
The usage widget is persistent — every screen you're on, you see your credit state in the left rail. This is a deliberate "keep cost visible" pattern, the opposite of hiding it. Explains why Replit Core is marketed so aggressively — the paywall is visible from the moment you log in. Pattern: Persistent Credit Usage Widget.
Anything.com does not have this persistent widget (see Anything.com - Workspace and New Project) — Anything advertises "Get Free Credits" as an acquisition CTA but doesn't show ongoing consumption.
- "Install Replit on [iOS][Android]" — inline mobile app upsell at very bottom.
- "Changelog" link.

Template carousel
Horizontal carousel with ◀ ▶ arrows. Templates:
- Website
- Mobile
- Design
- 3D Game (NEW — not on public landing page)
- Data Visualization (NEW — not on public landing page)
3D Game output type. Replit can generate 3D games. This is substantially more ambitious than anything in Anything.com - Multiple Artifacts and deserves investigation. Also: Data Visualization as a distinct template class (charting / dashboards).
