What people previously said about Replit

“Same exact issue here! Thank god Reddit sent me this post right as I was about to migrate my database. Spent hours researching the issue and thought this had to do with needing to migrate to the new native Replit database from Neon.”

“If you are going to use native then go with the cross platform if like flutter and react native and give architecture prompt to replit module wise.”

“I filed a ticket yesterday about this exact issue and haven't heard back yet — I need urgent help, since we're just days away from launching our app to real users.”

“One thing nobody's mentioned that's specific to Replit: if the site is on an Autoscale deployment, it sleeps between requests.”

“We experienced a platform incident on August 31 and September 1 that caused this issue on our end, not anything on your side. You can follow the incident timeline here: [https://status.replit.com/incidents/f551e79f-142b-4e8e-9e7e-4b8b92c47111](https://status.replit.com/incidents/f551e79f-142b-4e8e-9e7e-4b8b92c47111)”

“This may force us off Replit especially that it has been a full day now and no communication on what the problem is or how long it may take to fix”

“Hi everyone, new to the community and relatively new to Replit!”

“Ty Replit for forcing 100KB preview limits for heavy developers... No not rly, you just screwed me over on my workflow.”

“How can I add Gmail verification codes to my Replit app?”

“After Replit overrode my Dev DB with my Prod DB, everything in my Dev Env. is crashing each other......”

“Before paying an agency, do a security and flow pass yourself, since that is where Replit builds usually hurt: Stripe webhooks that are not signature verified, prices trusted from the client, and database rows readable by anyone with the anon key. Fix those and a Fiverr QA sweep becomes much cheaper because they only chase UX bugs.”

“This is a widespread issue. It has been going on since this morning and replit has been pretty much useless at fixing all day.”

“I’m hoping someone from Replit support can take a look at this because I already have a support request open and I don’t want to start trying random fixes on a live production database.”

“If people can publish straight from Replit/Vercel/Lovable, your normal repo and CI controls will never see it. DNS logs, proxy data and cloud/SaaS inventory are probably the better place to catch new public endpoints tied back to company accounts or domains, then security can decide whether they actually matter”

“u/ReplitSupport \#518855 I am having the same problem. Not able to connect with the Dev DB. My dev work is on hold.”

“What stack did Replit generate, and where is the site deployed?”

“This is all that can be found on the issues page from the replit site.”

“Has this been resolved? Its telling me to delete the database url and im scared lol DId replit acknowledge this>”

“This is true you don’t need Replit to launch your project lol that’s where he went wrong”

“I used Replit for a while because I loved how easy it was to go from an idea to a working project. But as my projects got bigger, I wanted more control over the code and my development workflow. That’s what pushed me to try Freebuff.”

“the reason this class of bug hurts so much is that code has version history by default and data doesn't — nobody sets it up until they've been burned once.”

“Like quite literally probably the worst tool now we have ever used now, we have spent $20,000+ with you guys. Feels like a slap in the face. We are ceasing operations using replit for good starting today, impossible to trust your company anymore.”

“I’ve found it pretty good so far, I have been getting abit fed up with Replit and this was a nice surprise from the burning of credits previously.”

“your product is the code in that repl, not the repl itself, and at 80% built it very likely installs and runs fine outside replit. download the project zip (or git clone it), then on any machine: npm install, npm run build, copy your secrets into a .env.”

“Just take your build elsewhere. Claude is extremely good at porting Replit projects elsewhere.”

“I wanted to interview @amoljain_ at @Replit about which vibe-coded apps can become real businesses because I was personally skeptical.”

“**Replit support has now cost us 3 days of development and our planned launch day**”

“The reason I left Replit was because it became a vibe-coding platform.”

“That’s a pretty scary situation, especially with real customer and job data sitting in the old database.”

“Pay as you go is dangerous and it could be very expensive. You probably need to cover for the cost of the token + a percentage.”

“and yours doesn't seem to have any differentiating feature looks the same to lovable replit vercel”

“We started asking around and found two more instances across other departments, a survey tool built on Replit connected to a shared data store, and a landing page someone spun up on Vercel that had an exposed API key sitting in the client side code.”

“I’ve tried a few of these tools, including Replit and Copilot, and recently settled on Freebuff for most of my coding work. I mainly use Claude and have used it for building small apps and cleaning up existing code.”

“Dropped Replit after the recent pricing tier changes squeezed out smaller side projects. Moved mostly to local dev with Freebuff handling the boilerplate.”

“Replit marketing is spamming Reddit now”

“Spent way too much until I got 100 req/sec on my app and it all collapsed! I come from a software engineering background and I had to do manual migration to my old app. It costed me so much money!”

“My monthly Replit bills have been between $600 and $ 1,500, but I have noticed a significant reduction over the past month or so. I had already started focusing on controlling the agent power to lower settings prior to the new Free Model, which helped a good bit.”

“Replit in August definitely went seriously wrong ~~ 30mins plus each prompt !!??”

“If this were 1996, Claude is AOL and Replit is Compuserve.”

“Repljt is for absolute noobs, great for “hey this is what we can build”, shit for actually building”

“I think Replit can build mobile apps although the cost is still an issue for most people.”

“Replit can build mobile apps for you”

“Hi Replit Support, I have been facing the same issue, could you please send me a direct message as well so that I can explain you my issue, I contacted Replit Support but i havent received a response for 2-3 days now.”

“The amazing Replit can do no wrong!”

“Replit Disabled Neon Database, Now My Client's app has been down for 2 days.”

“Another replit created post as an ad 🤷 I don't buy it”

“Secondo me mossa errata, replit non è più come prima”

“I have cancelled the claude subscription, because replit give daily free credit for premium users. My other colleague, who is also A replit pro user cancelled railway hosting and went back to replit because the hosting cost is low.”

“No doubt it would be cheaper elsewhere, but he likes the all in one aspect.”

“i use it for small changes like adding/removing buttons which seems to work ok. replit will tell you if it's unable to complete the task in free mode.”
