Their preview, their canvas
Replit shows you the app while you build it, in its own way. Here you describe a change and read what came back, then open the preview. If the live canvas is the part you like, you will miss it.
Bring your Replit project
Push it from Replit. Paste it here.
Replit’s documentation describes a Git pane that commits your work and pushes it to a remote such as GitHub, and a shell where plain git commands work too. Either way the result is a repository. Paste its link here and it is cloned with every commit.
New project → “I already have one” → paste the link. Nothing in ${name} is changed.

In short
In Replit, push the project to a GitHub repository from the Git pane (or with git in the shell). Copy the repository link and paste it into New project → I already have one. It comes across with full history; Replit's own hosting and databases stay theirs.
What changes, what does not
| Question | Replit | Here |
|---|---|---|
| Where the code lives | In the Repl; pushed to a remote from the Git pane | A git repository here, cloned with its full history |
| Know the cost before you run it | No — billed by “effort”, priced after | Yes — the rate under the composer, the cost printed on the answer |
| Choose the model | Not published | 300+, each with its published price |
| Where it is hosted | Replit’s hosting | Published and hosted here, on your own domain when you connect one |
| Run it yourself for $0 | No | Yes, on your own computer with your own model keys |
Replit’s Git pane — configure a remote, commit, push updates, and git commands in the shell — is as described in Replit’s own documentation, read on 17 September 2026. Billing is as read on replit.com on 29 August 2026 and dated on the comparison.
Step by step
Out of Replit, into a repository you own.
- In Replit: push to a remoteReplit’s documentation describes configuring a remote in the Git pane, committing, and pushing with a single click — or the same with git commands in the shell.
- Copy the repository linkFrom the repository on GitHub, GitLab or wherever you pushed it. The link a browser shows is fine.
- Here: New project → “I already have one”Paste the repository link. If it is private, connect GitHub and pick it from the list instead. GitLab and Bitbucket links work the same way.
- It is cloned with its full historyEvery commit comes across, into a repository that is yours here. It opens as a normal project from that point on — nothing about it is specific to us.
- Ask for the next change“Add a pricing page.” “Make the sign-up form send me an email.” The rate is under the composer before you send; what it cost is printed on the answer. Keys the app needs go in the project’s secrets.
The honest half
What Replit does that this does not.
Their hosting and services
Anything that ran on Replit’s own hosting, database or auth does not come with the code. The repository is yours; those services were theirs. You will be asked before anything is rebuilt.
A price you can read
What you get in exchange: the model’s rate before you send, the cost printed on the answer, 300+ models each with its published price, and no credit with an unpublished exchange rate.

Questions
Asked, answered
How do I get my code out of Replit?
Replit's documentation, read on 17 September 2026, describes a Git pane where you configure a remote, commit and push, and a shell where git commands work. Push to a GitHub repository, copy its link, and paste it here under New project → I already have one.
Does the history come with it?
Yes. The repository is cloned with every commit into a repository that is yours here.
What about the Replit database or secrets?
Services on Replit's side are not in the repository. Keys the app needs go in the project's secrets here; a database is rebuilt or reconnected when you ask, and you are asked first.
Can I keep using Replit too?
Yes. Nothing in Replit is changed by importing the repository. Two copies of a repository are just two copies.
