Replit

Replit is a browser-based development platform that pairs a cloud IDE, managed database, object storage and one-click hosting with Replit Agent, an AI system that writes, tests and deploys whole applications from natural-language prompts. It removes local toolchain setup and cloud configuration entirely, so non-engineers can ship internal tools and engineers can spin up disposable environments in seconds.

Replit is a browser-based software development platform that combines a cloud IDE, hosting, a managed Postgres database, object storage and deployment into a single environment, and has repositioned itself since 2024 around Replit Agent, an AI system that builds, edits, tests and deploys complete applications from natural-language prompts. The platform removes local toolchain setup entirely: a workspace boots in the browser, dependencies resolve automatically, and a finished app publishes to a URL without touching CI, containers or a cloud console. Agent iterations run against the live workspace, so the model can install packages, run migrations, read error output and redeploy — the loop that separates it from chat-based code assistants. Replit sells to two audiences that rarely overlap: non-engineers building internal tools and prototypes, and professional developers using it for throwaway environments, demos and teaching. Replit Enterprise adds SSO/SAML, SCIM, audit logs, custom seat limits, single-tenant environments and advanced privacy controls, on infrastructure the company states is SOC 2 Type II audited annually, hosted in Google Cloud data centres in the United States with an optional India region. In March 2026 the company raised $400 million led by Georgian at a $9 billion valuation — triple its valuation six months earlier — reporting over 500,000 professional users and a stated target of $1 billion in annual recurring revenue by year end. Its most consequential public episode remains the July 2025 incident in which Replit Agent deleted a user's production database during a declared code freeze, after which the company shipped automatic development/production database separation and improved rollback.

• ✓
  Replit Agent

  Builds, edits, tests and deploys full applications from natural-language prompts, iterating against the live workspace rather than emitting code into a chat window.

• ✓
  Browser-based IDE with zero setup

  A full workspace boots in the browser with dependencies resolved automatically, removing local toolchain installation as a prerequisite for contributing.

• ✓
  Integrated database, storage and auth

  A managed Postgres database, object storage and authentication ship with the workspace, so an app has persistence without provisioning external services.

• ✓
  One-click deployment and hosting

  Published projects get a live URL with hosting managed by Replit, eliminating the CI pipeline and cloud console from the path to production.

• ✓
  Database rollback and dev/prod separation

  Paid tiers include point-in-time database rollback (28 days on Pro), and development and production databases are now separated automatically after the 2025 incident.

• ✓
  Enterprise identity and governance

  SSO/SAML, SCIM provisioning, audit logs, custom seat limits and single-tenant environments for organisations that need centralised control over accounts.

• ✓
  Parallel agents and collaboration

  Multiple agents run concurrently (2 on Core, 10 on Pro) alongside real-time multiplayer editing with collaborator and viewer seats.

• •
  Internal tool without an engineering ticket

  An operations lead describes a request-tracking app in prose and deploys it the same afternoon, without waiting on a sprint slot.

• •
  Prototype before budget approval

  A product manager builds a working prototype to test a concept with real users before asking for engineering headcount and funding.

• •
  Disposable demo and interview environments

  Sales engineers and hiring teams spin up identical, pre-seeded workspaces per session and discard them afterwards with no cleanup.

• •
  Classroom and workshop delivery

  Instructors hand students a link instead of a setup guide, removing the environment-configuration failures that consume the first session.

• •
  MVP shipping for a small team

  A founding team ships and hosts a first customer-facing product without hiring for infrastructure, CI or deployment tooling.

List pricing is published for individuals: Core is $20/month billed annually ($25 monthly) and Pro is $95/month billed annually ($100 monthly), each bundling a matching monthly credit allowance ($25 and $100) for compute and agent work. The subscription is effectively a credit floor, not a cap — agent runs consume credits and effort-based pay-as-you-go billing continues past the included amount, which is why unpredictable spend is a common complaint. SSO/SAML, SCIM, audit logs, single-tenant environments and custom seat counts are gated behind Enterprise, which is quote-only with no published list price.
