The honest brief

Replit

Build, database, and hosting all live in the browser, so its Agent can ship a working app with zero local setup.

  • Agent scaffolds, runs, and deploys
  • One-click publish, no local setup
  • Frontier models power the Agent
  • Works from phone or browser
  • Checkpoint/usage costs can surprise
  • Less control than a local IDE
  • Heavier apps strain the platform

Vercel

Productized Next.js: git-push to a global edge network, with the AI SDK and v0 generation in one account.

  • Zero-config deploys for frontend frameworks
  • Global edge network + per-PR preview URLs
  • First-party Next.js + AI SDK + v0
  • Generous hobby tier
  • Costs can scale steeply at high traffic
  • Best fit is the Next.js ecosystem
  • Some lock-in to platform primitives
