Replit Agent builds web apps. Bilt builds native mobile apps
Replit Agent generates full-stack web applications in the browser. But when you need a real iOS or Android app in the App Store, you need Bilt. Same AI-first workflow, purpose-built for mobile.
The mobile gap
Replit Agent is a powerful AI coding assistant that builds web apps from prompts. But browser-based development environments can't compile native mobile binaries.

Feature comparison
Built for native mobile
Chat-based app creation
Describe your app in natural language and Bilt generates a full React Native codebase. Same AI agent workflow as Replit, but targeting native mobile.
iOS simulator in your browser
Preview your app on a real iOS simulator streamed to your browser. No Mac or Xcode required. Test gestures, navigation, and native behavior.
One-click App Store publishing
Publish to the Apple App Store and Google Play with automated build pipelines. Replit deploys to web — Bilt deploys to app stores.
Instant backend & APIs
Spin up databases, authentication, and APIs automatically. Your app gets a production-ready backend without managing server infrastructure.
“We were doing the whole design-to-code pipeline manually. Bilt just... skips the middleman. Prompt goes in, native app comes out. It's genuinely weird how much faster everything moves now.”
