About
Replit is a cloud development platform founded in 2016. It lets people write, run and host software entirely in the browser, and its Replit Agent can build full applications from a plain-language description, including the database, hosting and deployment.
Replit is used by non-technical founders building prototypes, students learning to code and developers who want a quick environment without local setup. The Agent can create an app, fix errors, add features and publish it to the web from one workspace.
As of October 2026, Replit has a free Starter plan with limited Agent use, Core at $25 a month or $20 a month billed annually with included usage credits, and Pro at $100 a month for up to 15 builders, plus Enterprise pricing. Agent work, compute and deployments draw on credits, so heavy use can cost more than the base price.
Features and integrations
-
Replit Agent: Builds full-stack apps from a prompt, sets up the database and authentication, and keeps iterating as you request changes.

Browser-Based IDE: Write and run code in dozens of languages without installing anything on your computer.
-
One-Click Deployments: Publish apps to the web with hosting, custom domains and different deployment types managed inside Replit.

Built-In Database and Storage: Apps can use managed databases and file storage without configuring separate services.
-
Collaboration: Multiple people can edit the same project in real time, with collaborators included on paid plans.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Everything in one place: Coding, AI building, hosting and databases live in a single platform.
- Great for non-developers: The Agent can turn an idea into a working app without the user writing code.
- No local setup: Projects run in the browser, which removes installation and configuration hurdles.
- Instant sharing: Apps can be deployed and shared with a link in minutes.
Cons
- Effort-based costs can surprise: Agent work and deployments use credits, and some users report bills far above the plan price.
- Less control than local development: Experienced developers may find the hosted environment limiting for complex projects.
- Quality varies on large apps: The Agent can struggle or loop on complex changes, which wastes credits.
