Is my Replit app safe to launch?

Paste your address. We check your live Replit app the way a stranger would, then tell you in plain English what could cost you money, and how to fix it.

Free. No sign-up. We only look at what any visitor can already see.

Could end your business

Your app takes a visitor at their word about who they are.

what we didread the code where your app decides whose data to send back
what it showedno check that the person asking owns what they asked for
What it means for youSomeone asks for customer 124's details and is handed them, because nothing ever checked they were customer 124. Every record becomes reachable one number at a time.
This is how every finding is written. No jargon, ever.
About Replit

Working is not the same as safe.

Replit’s Agent builds and hosts an app from a conversation, without you leaving one browser tab. It is popular for going from idea to something live in an afternoon.

Where your data livesA Replit app usually stores its data in a built-in Postgres database and can use Replit Auth for sign-in. Because that is plain Postgres rather than Supabase, there is no table rule to get wrong: your app’s own code is what decides who can read what, so the code checks matter most here.
What we find

The faults we find in Replit apps.

Written the way your own report would write them. These live in the app Replit built for you, not in Replit’s own service, which is why only a check of your app answers it.

Costs you money

A stranger can run up your bill with nothing to stop them.

What it means for youYour app pays for every text message or email it sends, and nothing limits how often one person can set that off. The invoice is how you would find out.

Your master key is in the code every visitor downloads.

What it means for youThat key ignores every rule you set about who may see what. Anyone who looks can read, change or delete everything you hold, including every customer record.

The honest part

What this check cannot see.

Every scanner looks cleaner if it stays quiet about what it missed. We would rather tell you.

Could not checkMost of what matters in a Replit app lives in its code, and reading that needs you to connect the project. From just an address we check everything a visitor could reach and name what we could not see.
What has happened before

A real case, on the record.

In July 2025 the founder of SaaStr reported that Replit’s Agent deleted his live database during a code freeze, despite instructions not to touch it, and then wrongly told him it could not be undone. Replit shipped fixes within days, including keeping test and live databases apart. It is a fair reminder that an AI agent with reach into real data is a real risk, and that checking before launch is cheaper than recovering after.
