The useful distinction
Replit Agent: a browser cloud workspace where Replit Agent builds, edits and publishes apps. It can also import a GitHub repository, commit to a branch and open the pull request.
Bolt: StackBlitz's in-browser app builder. Its agent builds and hosts web apps, with GitHub import and sync; you open the pull requests. Its docs say no coding is required.
Head to head
Buyer questions
| Question | Replit Agent | Bolt |
|---|---|---|
| What runs | Replit Agent, with model routing; Power and Max modes let you pick the model. | Bolt's Standard and Max agents; Bolt picks the model. |
| Isolation | A cloud development environment per workspace. Published apps run in a dedicated single-tenant GCP project, hosted in the United States by default. | Hosted previews and Bolt hosting with a free .bolt.host domain. |
| Result and pull request | On an imported GitHub repository the agent commits to a branch, pushes and opens the pull request with the description filled in. Needs write access. | Imports an existing GitHub project or creates a repository. You create a branch and open the pull request when ready. |
| MCP | MCP client for external tools, and a Replit MCP server (OAuth) that lets Claude Code or Codex create, update and publish Replit apps. | MCP servers the agent can read external tools and data from. |
| Team | Core invites up to 5 builders, Pro up to 15 collaborators and 50 viewers. Enterprise adds SSO, SCIM and audit logs. | Real-time collaboration and shared integrations on Teams ($30 per member per month). |
| Starting price | Starter at no cost; Core $18 / month and Pro $90 / month, billed annually | Free with 1M tokens a month; Pro $25 / month |
| Where it taps out | Starter builds only in Lite mode and its published app goes down after 30 days. Core runs 1 background task at a time. No REST API to start agent work; the MCP server signs in as a person. | No public API to start agent work. Pull requests are opened by you. A disconnected repository cannot be reconnected by hand. |
Decision
When each side wins
Replit Agent wins when
- Hosting, deploys, custom domains and a production database come built in, with rollback up to 28 days on Pro.
- People who do not write code can build with the Visual Editor and Design Canvas.
- A full cloud IDE sits next to the agent.
Bolt wins when
- No coding is required, and hosting with a free domain is built in.
- Unused Pro tokens roll over to the next month.
- It imports an existing GitHub project as well as creating one.
Rush
Where Rush sits
Rush starts where both stop: a GitHub repository and agents that open pull requests on it.
Honest limits
Skip Rush if
- Rush runs three agents: Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode. It does not host an agent you wrote yourself.
- Repositories come through the Rush GitHub App. A GitLab or Bitbucket repository cannot be a run's repository yet.
- There is no self-hosted or customer-VPC deployment, and we do not publish a compliance report today.
- Compute is metered. Free includes 5 agent-hours a month and Pro 40, each with a weekly ceiling.
- You review the pull request. Rush does not merge for you.
