Dyad

Replit

People who want an app built, hosted and published in one place
Builders who expect to read or edit the code in a full cloud workspace
Small teams sharing one plan: Core covers 5 builders and Pro 15, with no per-user fee

Dyad

Dyad is a desktop app only: there is no browser or mobile version, and the FAQ says it is not built to run on a server.
Linux support is experimental: the FAQ says Linux is not tested, may have bugs and does not auto-update.
It builds web apps. Turning one into a mobile app through Capacitor is experimental, and desktop apps are not supported.
On the free app you supply and pay for your own AI model access, and Basic Agent stops at 20 messages a day.

Replit

Starter is limited to Lite build with daily caps, and its single published app goes offline after 30 days.
Connectors, Plan Mode, full build and Replit AI Integrations all require Core or Pro.
Power and Max mode work is billed by effort from monthly credits, and usage beyond them is pay-as-you-go.
The mobile app is for building websites and web apps; native iOS app projects have to be started on the web.

Dyad

Runs on your own computer: Dyad is a desktop app that keeps project files on your disk and sets no limit on the number of apps. Paired with a local model, it works without an internet connection.
Bring your own AI model: Use your own API keys for providers such as Google Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic and OpenRouter, sign in with a ChatGPT subscription, or run local models through Ollama or LM Studio.
Agent mode: Basic Agent checks for build errors, runs tests and debugs from logs, limited to 20 messages a day on Free. Pro Agent adds web search, website cloning and image generation.
Database and auth integrations: Supabase and Neon connect from inside the app to give a full-stack project its database, schema migrations and user authentication.
GitHub sync and deployment: An app can be connected to a GitHub repository and synced from Dyad. The docs walk through deploying that repository on Vercel, and any other cloud host can be used.
Security scan and MCP servers: A built-in security review looks for problems such as SQL injection and missing auth protection, and MCP servers can be added for browser tools, web search or custom APIs.

Replit

Agent with Free, Power and Max modes: Agent builds, debugs and iterates on an app from chat. Free Mode costs no credits within a plan allowance; Power and Max use monthly credits and need Core or Pro.
Built-in database, storage and auth: Replit-managed integrations include a PostgreSQL database, App Storage for files, Replit Auth sign-in and custom domains, with no API keys to set up.
One-click publishing: Apps publish to a live URL from the workspace. Starter includes 1 published app for 30 days; Core and Pro allow unlimited apps and remove the Made with Replit badge.
Design Canvas and Visual Editor: Design Canvas explores visual ideas and variations, and the Visual Editor changes content and layout directly. Converting a design into a full app needs Core.
Connectors: Sign in once to services such as Google Drive, Gmail, GitHub, Linear and Jira, and Agent can read and write to them from chat. Most connectors need a paid plan.
Web, mobile and other artifacts: Agent builds web apps and native iOS and Android apps with Expo previews. Core and Pro add slide decks, data visualizations, animated videos and other artifact types.
