Replit really became more and more useful over the past year and still provides a one-hand solution for development and hosting. We were paying about $350 monthly for a year, but we were happy to do so. There are bugs sometimes but the support is very helpful. Unfortunately the "Assistant" function has been recently removed so you now rely entirely on the expensive "Agent". This means that you can't preview code changes anymore before the Agent applies the changes. It also means about triple the costs even for the smallest changes. Unfortunately this makes Replit entirely unusable for us now and we will soon have to pull all of our projects from Replit to develop locally and host elsewhere.Read More

The possibilities are endless! I am excited by how far I can get with this tool and how fast and easy it is.

When I was younger, my dream was to become a programmer.
For many reasons, I never managed to truly make it happen, and over time that dream stayed quietly in the background.

Thanks to Replit, it feels like I finally picked it back up.r/>Replit removes so many barriers and makes coding feel accessible, intuitive, and empowering, even if you didn’t take the traditional path.

Using Replit feels like completing a dream I left unfinished: not just writing code, but understanding it, experimenting, and actually building things.
For me, Replit is more than a platform — it’s the realization of a lifelong dream.

Thank you, Replit. 🙏💻Read More

ceo is a solid guy

Replit has been a great tool for software development beyond prototyping. I have been able to build complex web apps in a month that would take 2-3x developers along with myself managing the team a year to create. It is not just the direct development improvement it eradicates all the task management, scrums, etc... none of those pain points exist anymore.Read More

Replit debited my bank account on 20 Nov 2025, confirmed a refund on 21 Nov, Google shows the refund was declined, and then Replit denied receiving any money.

You cannot confirm a refund for funds you claim you never received. This needs immediate resolution.

The full agent us quite good and gets it right most of the time. There are times when the agent either finds the wrong files or makes the wrong choices and modify the code incorrectly based on the prompts given. As well there are times when you get into a bit of a loop trying to correct something quite small and land up paying too much for a simple fix. I find the fast mode, fast but too inaccurate in some cases.Read More

I’ve had a great experience with Replit. The biggest win is how frictionless it is: you can go from idea to running code in minutes, without dealing with local environment setup. The editor feels modern, packages are easy to manage, and the ability to instantly share a working project makes feedback and collaboration way easier. It’s become one of my go-to tools for prototyping, experimenting, and learning.Read More

Replit has made it possible for me to start several applications across multiple accounts. These ideas are currently generating passive income and allowing me to have a creative outlet that I wouldn’t have had otherwise.

Alex Hrankin

Replit agent is great at end-to-end feature development. Giving it a feature to code, planning the implementation, building it, testing it so that it actually works.

Sam

Best one of the prototyping apps. Many good integrations, and they keep adding more with a high frequency.

Rafał Brzyski

I am new new IT world. Building anything like landing page or app was beyond my reach. I am amazed with the ease of creating a working app using agent in Replit. What I've learned is that you must have a clear picture of what you want to achieve and then do it step by step. Avoid throwing bits and pieces of your idea wishing that AI agent will guess what you need. You have to manage him and he will work for you.Read More

Full of Paywalls, Dark Patterns that force you to use their paid plans, otherwise it makes your life impossible, it is not even recommended for testing, it is impossible to start a website/project that is not even generating profits yet, Do not waste your time, Render works better.Read More

It's established, but the cost of building the app and maintaining it on Replit has risen. There is also not a convenient way to talk to someone for support questions as it is all managed by AI.

Elaine Khandr

Being able to run projects through the planner before building is extremely helpful and reduces time to production immensely. However, during building, sometimes even explicit instructions aren't followed and occasionally the agent makes changes based on assumptions not in provided.Read More

At first, Replit seemed great. Then the billing turned predatory. I paid for the $25 plan, barely used it, and got slammed with a $90 charge out of nowhere.

When I downgraded, they threatened to wipe everything. I also bought multiple domains for a full year through Replit, and they now refuse to give me DNS access or transfer info. That’s straight-up domain hostage behavior.

They shut down all my projects after downgrading — even though the free plan allows publishing. That’s not a technical limitation, that’s leverage.

Decent product. Scummy business practices. I wouldn’t trust Replit with real projects or domains
and support is useless.Read More

CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!

Predatory Billing Practices! You pay them $25 a month? They BILL you $75 a month!

They're holding my DNS records hostage now that I'm trying to migrate and they flat out REFUSE to respond!

Canceled my subscription in NOVEMBER, still charged me in DECEMBER!

If I could rate ZERO STARS I would!

I am currently finalizing complaints with the FTC, iCANN and the OAG. Even though I've told them I would, they STILL WON'T RESPOND.Read More

Jesper Borlaug Nesse

The AI is using a lot of credits to fix errors it made himself, when setting a limit of credist over your budget its starts from after your included credits and not including them, so you spend more then you think and get charged a lot extra for them. Support dont help with that, and call it not refundable and the app is stil useless after spending 28$ extra credits without knowing.

Feels like a scam. Stay awayRead More

I used replit to create a client portal, after 2000$ later I wasn't able to complete the project. what I have done is to use a Digital-Ocean Droplet linux server, install claude code for much cheaper and finish the project. So disappointed and they don't have a good support too.Read More

Kia Kuang Tan

I am not a programmer. With Replit, I have access to System Architect, Analyst, Domain expertise, etc to help me design applications with just simple prompts. For large scale project, Guard rails, memory trails, will be important as we are working with multiple agents. Areas for improvements: Responsives and charges for repeated mistakes.Read More

👨‍🎓 Expert's Opinion

what does our expert say about Replit?

After using this platform across different projects, it feels genuinely useful and well thought out. Turning simple text ideas into working apps saves a huge amount of time. The AI handles setup, hosting, and updates smoothly. It is great for fast building and testing ideas. Beginners will feel confident quickly. Teams also benefit from real time collaboration. The main drawback is less control for very custom or low level coding needs. Advanced users may feel limited at times. Still, for speed, learning, and launching ideas, it delivers real value and feels reliable.
