Launch one app on three platforms
They used Replit Agent and a few other tools to take one app from development to launch on mobile and web.
- What they did
- A commenter said they had spent months building a single app with Replit, and that it is now available through Apple’s App Store, Google Play, and a website. Their setup relied on Replit’s Autonomous Agent running on a Reserved VM, while Replit handled both the user-facing side and the server side. They also brought in Codex, GitHub, Claude, and similar tools to help with coding, fact-checking, and research.
- How it went
- They said the release happened faster than they expected it could on its own. They also described several problems: the agent could get trapped repeating the same work, introduce defects, and return claims that were not checked. That behavior drove up costs, including more than $200 in roughly 48 hours, multiple months above $300, and a few months close to $400.
- Tips
- Keep a close eye on repeated loops and confirm important outputs yourself. Also budget for the chance that agent-heavy work may cost more than planned, and that support may not treat those charges as refundable.
