Key differences
Where everything happens. Replit keeps editing, running and publishing in one browser tab. Antigravity CLI works with files on your own machine and leaves running and publishing to you.
Your own tools. Replit is less suited to people who want to work in their own local editor. Antigravity CLI works alongside whichever editor you prefer.
Costs. Both have free ways in with limits, and costs after that depend on your plan and use.
