What it is

Overview

Natural language to working web and mobile apps, with AI handling the coding, database setup, and deployment. The tool that draws 12.9 million monthly visits mostly from no-code developers, entrepreneurs, and students who want to describe an app idea and get a functional prototype. Early reviewers describe the natural-language-to-app generation as the primary draw — you type "build a task manager with user accounts" and get a deployed app with database backend.

I've now built **five SaaS applications** using Replit, and it has completely changed the way I develop software. One of those businesses was successfully sold for a substantial amount of money, which gave me the confidence to continue building every new project on the platform. I'm currently building an advanced speech-to-speech AI trading operating system which uses purely voice, entirely on Replit. It's one of the most ambitious projects I've worked on, and the platform has enabled me to it

If youre thinking to use replit. Dont Plenty more options. Just simply avoid this, unless youre an experienced developer. Dont let advertising fool you. This is not a few prompts and you have a fully working app that anyone can do service. Its truly awful. It cannot design anything. It changes functionality, core functionality to do with my product without being told to. It adds things to different servers then cant diagnose why I cant see the change for ages, all of which in-between trying to f

incapable, costly and a waste of everyone's time. Constantly undoes and redoes not only its work but basic things i have done working in standard IDE's and merged back in. INCAPABLE OF USING GIT PROPERLY. an overall embrassement of a product

Here is a polished, genuine 5-star Trustpilot review: ★★★★★ I’m genuinely glad I chose the Replit Pro subscription. I initially faced some billing issues, and my account was temporarily blocked. However, throughout the process, the Replit support team made a real effort to help me and ensure that I had the best possible experience. Their response and support gave me confidence in the company. As for Replit Agent and its AI development tools, I am extremely impressed. It follows instructions

If you can think like a programmer you can use it. I stopped being a developer around 2015. I can still read code but I’m too rusty to be efficient at writing it. For $35 in credits I wrote a really great app for my team to use. It probably would have cost $15,000 to outsource it for an mvp . I think about $5 of that was wasted because it got caught in a loop changing and reverting the same thing until I realized. I told it to look elsewhere for the problem and then it worked. I don’t know what

Replit's business model sometimes feels refreshingly simple: if the software doesn't work, don't worry—the billing system certainly does. Broken workspace? That's your problem. Failed Google Play build? Also your problem. A version that doesn't match what's on the website? You guessed it—still your problem. The only reliable part of the service, in my experience, is their ability to keep charging you while you spend your time fixing issues they should have solved. I had to use Claude to repair

I am currently using this to create 4 apps and the $20 dollar plan is bullshit you will use all the credits quickly and they will not tell you that you are over. I am gonna transfer all my work over so it doesn’t get erased. Gotta pay a extra 50 bucks so I can finish my apps but it is a reliable source though but they do not tell you that you have to watch how you use your “credits” the whole credit system is bullshit.

Absolutely horrible customer service, if you fail payment, they will PUT DOWN ALL YOUR WEBSITES THE SAME DAY EVEN IF THE FAILURE IS DUE TO A 3D verification IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT ! Absolutely unacceptable behaviour from management ignoring my requests. No contact from sales after I have asked 4-5 times, just ignored…. Wondering how investors can give money to such a group of people with no ethics and no values at all !

Good for building and deploying . But very expensive . They really made me upset this week … last week paid them 1200 + . One payment of 61 $ yesterday didn’t went thought and site is offline …. They are prostitutes of money … I don’t expect serious company to pull site offline when a payment doesn’t go through and you also need to update your payment method etc

Hey all, I’m completely new to coding. I’ve been using Replit for a few days and honestly… it’s incredible. The fact that I can describe what I want, tweak things, deploy quickly, and actually see stuff working without really touching code is wild. For someone with zero experience, it feels like magic. That said, it gets expensive quickly. Now that I’ve gone from “this is cool” to “I might actually build things regularly,” I’m starting to feel the cost. I don’t mind paying for tools, but I’m not
