Replit vs IQ Source

Replit offers a cloud IDE with Replit Agent for building apps with AI, but its closed hosting and infrastructure limitations make enterprise projects difficult. Compare both options.

What is Replit?

Replit is a cloud IDE that lets you write, run, and deploy code from the browser. With Replit Agent (v3), users can build complete applications through natural language prompts with up to 200 minutes of autonomous work. It includes a built-in AI code assistant, its own PostgreSQL database, automatic hosting with autoscale deployments, and multi-language support via NixOS. It offers SOC 2 Type II and SSO/SCIM on its Enterprise plan. However, apps only deploy on Replit's infrastructure (GCP in the US), exportable code via GitHub typically depends on Replit services (Auth, DB, Secrets), there is no self-hosting or on-premise option, and usage-credit-based pricing scales quickly for teams.

Best for

Learning, quick prototypes, and personal or small team projects.

Limitations - Replit

  • Code exportable via GitHub, but dependent on Replit services (Auth, DB, Secrets)
  • Only Replit's PostgreSQL as integrated database, no option for other technologies (MongoDB, Redis, etc.)
  • No self-hosting or on-premise deployment option
  • Usage-credit-based pricing ($25/mo Core, $40/user/mo Teams) scales for teams
  • SOC 2 and SSO/SCIM only available on Enterprise plan (custom pricing)
  • All apps deploy on Replit's GCP infrastructure in the US, no region or provider choice
