# Git client vs Replit

Git client and Replit both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of Git client's written reviews are positive against 59% of Replit's. Replit's advantage is chart position (#1 vs #13) and ratings volume (21K vs 3.8K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Git client sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Replit sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $20.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Git client against 4.7 for Replit. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Replit has 21K ratings behind it against 3.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Git client's written reviews are positive against 59% of Replit's.

Git client ships an update every 9 days, Replit fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
