Ferns vs Replit
The best Replit alternative for AI website building
Websites without writing code. Really.
What is Replit?
Replit is a cloud IDE with AI coding assistance. It's powerful for developers, but using it to build a website means writing code or using AI to generate code you then need to manage.
Common Replit frustrations
- It's a code editor — you're writing/managing code
- Need to handle hosting and deployment separately
- AI generates code, but you maintain it
- No built-in website features like forms or analytics
Why teams switch to Ferns
- Zero code — describe your business, get a site
- Hosting and deployment handled automatically
- Visual editing — click text to change it
- Lead collection and analytics built in
The verdict
Replit is for coding. Ferns is for shipping websites. Different tools for different jobs.
