Replit Reviews & Product Details

I can code at a basic level, but I like the fact that I can build a small tool for a job we have to do and make it available without having to buy additional hosting. Sometimes just good enough is good enough. Examples of things I have created is a car park monitoring system to understand our work carpark requirements and a simple web scraper to test the learning algorithm I was developing. Going from concept to deployment in less than 30mins is great. I plan to use it for PoC work going forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The coding behind it all is less visible and it would be good if the product helped me develop my coding skills. Also it would be good to be able to create stand alone apps for mobile phones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how Replit speeds up coding by an immeasurable multitude, especially given my limited coding experience. Its ease of use and the Agent AI feature make it possible for a non-tech coder like myself to bring ideas to life without getting bogged down in the specifics of the code. It optimizes my efficiency and does a great job at ideating and building on top of my initial documentation. I also like the UI and integrations, which document, explain, and provide me with action items after ideating, making the process so much smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does have a fair amount of stall outs when switching tabs especially and a handful of outages. Hopefully can be faster as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Replit incredibly valuable for several reasons. Primarily, it offers a cost-effective solution for someone like me who has many ideas to test and requires a platform to build MVPs. The plan I use, which is $25 per month, offers far more economical value than having to hire developers and designers, which would cost at least twenty times more. I appreciate how easy Replit is to set up, especially because my projects are seamlessly stored, connected to databases, and it's easy to track their usage. I also find the ability to build products and services using the latest technologies, such as implementing AI with the OpenAI API for multilingual website support and event categorization, particularly invaluable. Replit's fast agent enhances the quality of my work, supporting my development tasks efficiently. These elements collectively make Replit not only a practical choice but also an appealing one for my current and future project needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes find that the Replit agent gets stuck on a single solution that doesn't work, which results in wasting more time than necessary. An example of this is when I faced login issues; the agent repeatedly insisted that everything was tested and working well, but it wasn't the case in reality.

Replit makes coding incredibly convenient by allowing me to write, run, and collaborate on code directly from the browser without needing any local setup. The real-time collaboration and instant deployment features are especially useful for quick testing, learning, and team projects. It’s fast, intuitive, and supports multiple programming languages seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Replit is great for quick development, the performance can slow down with larger projects, and the storage or compute limits on free plans can be restrictive. The environment sometimes feels less stable compared to a local IDE, and managing dependencies or custom configurations can be a bit limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Replit is like having a development intern at my full disposal. It solves quick fix solutions for my work efficiencies and lets me dream up applications for personal use. It's very good at grasping context as long as you give it clear use cases. It makes logical user experience assumptions on my behalf, which is a big plus. The UI of Replit makes it easy to see where things are headed immediately. It's the easiest platform for setup, especially for beginners learning vibe coding.

I find that its QA abilities are not tight. It's as simple as the same problem exists in one part of the app but is fixed in a different part of the app. Not thorough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to use. It takes a little bit to get started, but once you get the hang of entering prompts, it provides time and money saving solutions. The ability to implement the apps created with Replit across my team has been huge. We use our Replit generated app every day. And it has helped me think of several new ways to use it for clients and other items we need custom solutions for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish you could just duplicate an app you have just created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Replit uses VibeCoding. This was particularly easy for a newbie at coding to understand. Even with a few initial issues, it provided me with an easy-to-use outcome and quick solutions. Replit's Vibe coding feature makes it easy for me to create an entire game without having to know all the coding details. The platform was reasonably easy to set up and felt pretty hand-in-glove, especially for someone like me who isn't a Python coder. It also offers templates and lots of other tools that make it easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The introduction was a little steeper than I thought it would be the learning curve. So, in terms of what could be improved, there seems to be an issue with it using different ports to mock up the site and the game. This is easily overcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to get right in and start using. Rapid prototyping and ease of use. Integrations with other systems makes gluing things together easier.

Agent does a good job of automating very detailed, specific, and mundane tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI makes "rookie" mistakes and suffers from frequent hallucinations. While somewhat expected, you'll need to spend a lot of time/money to validate the real and imagined bugs that the AI finds.

There isn't an easy way to move/migrate your code outside of Replit hosting. If you KNOW you don't want to host with Replit long-term, then this may not be a good solution for anything except prototyping.

The AI is mostly "database unaware" - it's a coding tool, not a database coding tool, and you can't trust it to make good database decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It quickly builds any tool or software user interface that you can imagine. It's conversational. The planning feature is awesome because the AI thinks ahead or it can fill in the gaps that you might not think of but will want or need in your app. I like the built in "drive" - the push to extend your app further or make it better for users. The testing features are getting better all the time, too. Replit is constantly evolving and having one of the largest user bases out there for vibe coding, that helps drive innovation and breadth of AI ability / integrations, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took building a few simple apps to start getting the hang of vibe coding with replit. There is a learning curve, despite how easy it is to use. It starts to fall apart in the "last mile" - when you test things as a real user. That's where the learning curve comes in, it can take dozens of attempts to fix one little thing - only to open up or create a new bug that also can take dozens of attempts to fix strictly using vibe coding methods and AI. It helps to produce finished and usable apps if you have a technical or developer background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm a user of Replit from agent v1, v2 and v3, and I can tell you the differences between each version:

- Agent v1, handles everything for you, no need for expert knowledge in the IDE tool, droplets deployment

- Agent v2 can handle complex requirements for more sophisticated apps

- Agent v3, take the QA testing and debugging off your hands and deliver a clean, regression-free experience

I tried the customer support for some nasty blockers I had in my app, and they assisted me until they were resolved.

As for ease of Implementation, all I have to do is click the Deploy button, and it's live - as easy as that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Monthly credits expire at the end of each cycle. It would be beneficial to either give more or roll over the remaining credits to the next month for heavy users like me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
