Replit

I have used Replit to build easily over 200 apps for my own company as well as those in over 100 additional companies. I teach AI as a primary activity for my job, and Replit is by the far the best combination of powerful AI as well as ease of use. I am not a developer, but I can build literally anything with it. I have taught grandmas to children how to build apps and build anything they want in ways that can actually produce revenue for their ideas. I have tried every vibe coding platform on the market, and Replit wins, hands down.

Replit solves the most important problem for a non-technical person, by improving development speed and reducing the effort required to move from an idea to a working prototype without waiting for engineering bandwidth. It helps me quickly validate ideas, build proof-of concepts in the most efficient way, it also helps me understand the product development flow.

We did some trials, I tried it for starting a web app.
To say it went bad would be a compliment. Almost straight away there were problems, so the AI kept insisting that it was an account restriction, so I finally upgraded. Then it took me around the world, back to square one and the webapp was not better off. I got very frustrated and reached out to support and they gaslit me. It ws so unprofessional I lost the plot, so not a good look for me either. Replit will always be a grubby, one time credit card grab. If you want support, better buy yourself a bra. Replit is not delivering a usable product. This was my experince in Aug 2025. I would never use the platform again, plenty of alternatives that actually apprecaite the customer experience and advocate, instead of gaslighting and defensive commentary.
