Best Codex Sites lane

Prompt-led workspace tools where the deployment target is the Codex Sites preview instead of a general server.

When Replit is stronger

Developer-controlled app hosting, conventional custom domains, TLS and editable runtime environments.

Main risk

Choose Replit when runtime control and public deployment matter more than Codex-native task flow.

Decision rule

  • Internal workspace app: start with Codex Sites.
  • Public domain, SEO, payments or code ownership: prefer the alternative path.
  • If the idea is unclear, generate a Codex Sites prompt first to clarify scope.
