Replit vs GitHub Copilot
Replit is a cloud development platform whose Agent builds and hosts apps from a description; GitHub Copilot is GitHub's AI coding assistant with an agent mode in the editor and a cloud agent that opens pull requests. GitHub Copilot is cheaper to start: GitHub Copilot Pro costs USD 10 a month, Replit Core USD 20 a month.
Choose Replit for people who want to build, run and host code in one cloud editor, and GitHub Copilot for developers who want an agent inside their editor and their GitHub workflow. If you need desktop apps, browser games and presentations as well, Siteglade, an autonomous AI agent with its own computer in the cloud, is a third option.

A third option: Siteglade
Neither Replit nor GitHub Copilot lists desktop apps, browser games, presentations and documents on its pricing page. Siteglade does.
