In their own words
Replit
Replit is a software creation platform where users can describe applications in natural language and refine them with an AI agent. The agent works through chat, tests and revises code, and can use a browser to produce reports and address issues. Its cloud development environment supports coding and collaboration in a browser, with automatic package installation and built-in authentication, database, hosting, and monitoring. Replit supports websites, mobile projects, designs, slides, animations, data visualizations, 3D, games, documents, and spreadsheets, with more than 100 integrations. The free Starter plan includes daily usage, but limits publishing to one live project and running one background task at a time. Replit Core costs $18 per month billed annually, and Pro costs $90 per month billed annually. Pro supports up to 15 collaborators and 50 viewers, and includes database rollback for up to 28 days. Replit is available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and web. Its mobile apps support building, sharing, and publishing web apps; native iOS development uses the web version with Expo Go previews.
