Replit Reviews & Product Details

The speed. Replit goes from idea to testable software very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When building complex multi-role software, Replit's AI agent "silos" each build. So, when you need functionality from one role connected to another, it's not there automatically like it would be with a human software designer. You have to be very explicit with the instructions, and be ready to make several corrections and refinements until your finished product is usable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I know I'm going to immediately host a proof of concept for feedback, or deploy an MVP with a custom domain, this is my go-to. I currently have 4 apps built and hosted entirely with Replit, all using their own domain. My next challenge is to try deploying an app I started on my laptop that is finally to a point where I'd like to host it on Replit - so this will be my first attempt at ingesting an existing Github repo for hosting. Have primarily used Agent 2 to get where I am today, and have been *mostly* successful. (more on the dislike) The design features are pretty decent, and at least with Agent 2, I've been able to get what I've wanted built off the ground. It's even navigated me starting a new JS web app from scratch, and then incorporating a command-line utility that featured a very particular algorithm I developed in Python into the JS app... overall very impressed.

Thiis is a tool for people who know wtf they're doing, and how to nudge it out of circular debugging loops. In the cases where I've gone completely hands-off ('vibe coded') and got stuck, I've had to resort to an SSL tunnel to VSCode, where I could use RooCode to pick a model more appropriate for the task. They've gone to remarkable lengths to bundle in Authentication and Stripe support, but honestly my experience before that was a bear... not fair to mark it as a negative, but be aware if you're trying to incorporate a service they *have not* adopted can take some know-how. Finally they've changed their fee structure, so I'm burning thru my credits at an eye-watering pace now... perhaps they were eating the loss before, and now I'm finally being exposed to the 'real cost', but still - ouch!

The best part about Replit is just how easy it is to get started. I literally just signed up, and within five minutes I had a Python environment up and running. I didn't have to install anything on my laptop, which was a huge relief. I'm not a huge fan of downloading a bunch of software that just clutters up my machine. The collaboration features are also super cool. I was able to invite one of my devs to look at my code, and we could see each other typing in real time. It's like Google Docs for code. It made getting help so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not perfect, though. Sometimes the editor gets a little slow, especially when I'm working with a larger project. It's not a deal breaker, but it can be a bit frustrating. I also had some trouble with the package manager a couple of times; some dependencies just wouldn't install right away. I had to try a few times. I'm not sure if it was my mistake or something with the platform, but it was a little annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Replit's environment seamless to use, allowing me to spin up an IDE in real time effortlessly. I love how I can write, test, and run code directly on Replit, facilitating testing outside a conventional work environment. The Replit Agent is invaluable; it simplifies my tasks significantly, enhancing my productivity daily. I appreciate the incremental credits provided each month for additional tools like the Agent, and Replit’s continuous improvements align perfectly with my needs. Their engagement with users is commendable, and it makes me feel valued. It’s a solid ten for recommending it to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, I think it's really great. The only barrier for users not already working with it is the cost. Many of my co-workers and friends in the industry are not able to afford the current subscription cost as their company won't expense it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Replit does a good job of taking what you put into the AI tool and getting an output however in my expericene it does take multiple prompts to get where you want to go but it is the easiest and fastest way to take an idea to a proof of concept state at a reasonable price.

The customer service is fantastic, I sent their billing team a question and within a few minutes I had a response! Really excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are trying to build outside of their AI tool it is a bit confusing and there is a steep learning curve.

The integrations are set up so they work in your specific environment but not to scale so when trying to build something it requires additional work on the back end to really set up an integration to work within what you're trying to build. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was able to create an amazing app that I hope will make a huge impact on the world in my limited free time with no coding experience! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have any dislikes that I’ve come across yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have created an app that I would just simply never have been able to make. I’m not a coder I just have an idea that a small number of a population will be interested in. Remplit made it happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the ai agent is frustrating it thinks it has repaired a bug when it hasn’t and it can take many tries and hours of investigation to get to the bottom of an issue. Tenacity is required and quite a bit of time and energy on the part of the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was very easy to use to build my website after trying other programs which seemed more difficult to grasp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not a bad thing but sometimes you can get carried away vibe coding and spend a bit of the credits Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy it is to set up Replit with no issues encountered during the process. It simplifies bringing ideas to life, especially for someone who knows Python but hasn't deployed a complete web app. The agent mode feature is amazing for observing the building process, while auto deployment handles complex aspects I find hard to manage. The continuous innovation and release of new features truly keep me engaged and willing to remain a member. I even rate it a 10 out of 10 for recommending it to others.

Sometimes the credits go way too fast. It feels like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

▪️ Cloud-native IDE with zero setup complexity

The browser-based development environment eliminates the traditional friction of local development setup. Within seconds of opening a new project, I have access to a fully configured environment with syntax highlighting, debugging capabilities, and execution runtime across more than 50 programming languages. The seamless integration means jumping between Python data analysis scripts and React applications requires no context switching or environment management.

▪️ Replit Agent’s natural language code generation

The AI agent functionality transforms abstract ideas into functional code through conversational prompts. Rather than writing boilerplate code manually, I describe the desired functionality and watch as the agent constructs database schemas, API endpoints, and frontend components. The agent maintains context throughout conversations, building upon previous responses and incorporating feedback iteratively.

▪️ Real-time collaborative development capabilities

The multiplayer coding experience rivals Google Docs in its seamlessness. Multiple developers can edit the same codebase simultaneously with shared cursors, integrated chat, and live preview synchronization. Version conflicts resolve automatically, and the collaborative debugging process feels natural when troubleshooting complex issues with team members.

▪️ Integrated deployment and hosting infrastructure

The transition from development to production happens with minimal configuration overhead. Projects deploy directly from the IDE with automatic SSL certificate provisioning, custom domain configuration, and Google Cloud infrastructure scaling. The deployment pipeline integrates database connections, environment variables, and third-party service authentication without requiring separate DevOps workflows.

▪️ Built-in database and authentication services

Database creation and user management systems integrate natively within the platform ecosystem. Instead of configuring separate database instances and authentication providers, these services provision automatically with secure key management and seamless integration patterns. The unified approach reduces the typical complexity of full-stack application architecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The agent frequently generates code with subtle bugs that compound throughout development cycles.

When correcting these errors, the agent often introduces new problems while attempting to fix the original issues, creating frustrating debugging loops.

The credit consumption model means paying for both the initial faulty code generation and subsequent correction attempts, which becomes expensive quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
