Watch Replit usage before it eats the month's budget
Every morning, WebRun opens Replit, reads usage and billing for the current cycle, notes which deployments and apps are consuming the most, logs the running total to a Google Drive sheet, and texts you through Twilio when the run rate is ahead of your monthly budget.

How do I track Replit usage and spend before the bill arrives?
Every morning, WebRun opens Replit, reads your usage so far this billing cycle, and works out which deployments and apps are driving the spend. It logs the running total to a Google Drive sheet and texts you through Twilio when the run rate is ahead of your monthly budget.

- The deployment driving the bill is named every morning

Questions, answered
Will it pause or delete a deployment to save money?
No. WebRun reads usage and reports it. Pausing, scaling down, and deleting stay with you, so a live app is never taken offline by an automation while customers are on it.
How does it know my budget?
You set the monthly figure once when you turn the template on. WebRun compares the projected cycle total against it each morning and only texts when the projection goes over.
Who receives the text message?
Only the internal numbers you saved, usually the account owner. WebRun sends through your own Twilio account and never texts anyone outside that list.
