The Verdict
Replit is built for beginners and students, with a focus on browser-ide and ai-agent. Tabnine targets enterprise and security conscious teams and leads with code-completion and chat.

Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Feature-wise, Replit offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Tabnine takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
