Our take
Pick OpenHands if teams who want a coding agent on a repo, locally or as hosted SaaS, and will bring a model key. Pick Replit if founders and students who want an idea → hosted app without a local toolchain. Skip OpenHands if people who want an IDE fork with Tab (Cursor) or a browser app builder (Replit). Skip Replit if teams that must keep code off Replit’s cloud, or engineers who want an AI-native desktop IDE
