Treena vs Replit
A browser IDE vs. a phone-native one
Replit brought the cloud IDE to the browser and ships capable iOS and Android apps for building and editing on the go, though Plan Mode is a paid-plan feature. Treena starts from the phone and includes plan mode on every tier, including free.
Side by side

Replit FAQ
Questions, answered
- Does Replit have an iOS app?
- Yes. Replit's iOS app lets you build and edit projects, chat with Agent, and publish to the web. Publishing a native iOS or Android app through Replit's dedicated Mobile Apps feature currently requires the desktop or web version, not the mobile app itself.
- Does Replit have an Android app?
- Yes, with the same build, edit, chat, and publish capabilities as the iOS app.
- Is Replit's Plan mode free?
- No. On Replit's free Starter plan, Plan Mode and Replit AI Integrations require upgrading to the paid Core plan. Every Treena plan, including the free tier, includes plan mode.
- What's different about Treena's approach?
- Treena's editor, terminal, and agent controls are laid out for a phone screen from the start, on both iOS and Android, and plan mode is included on every plan, even free. Replit's mobile app is capable for building and editing web apps on the go, but its Plan Mode and full feature set are gated behind a paid plan.
- Can I use both?
- Sure. Replit is a solid full-stack cloud IDE for browser and desktop use. Treena is aimed at the moments you only have your phone: reviewing a PR, fixing a bug, or shipping a small change between other things.
