Where Replicate is strong
- Large ecosystem of model APIs.
- Quick way to try community models.
- Cog conventions for model packaging.
Where app.nz is different
app.nz covers:
- cloud coding agents that work on repos and return durable diffs
- static sites, server deploys, private container builds, domains, logs, queues, and secrets
- one OpenAI-compatible gateway for text, image, video, audio, embeddings, search, and 3D
- scale-to-zero GPU hosting for Cog and Comfy workloads
- one credit balance and API surface across the product
app.nz supports Cog-style GPU hosting next to deploys, agents, model gateway routing, Comfy workflows, and queues.
Choose Replicate when
Choose Replicate for its model ecosystem and hosted model APIs.
Choose app.nz when
app.nz runs the whole loop on one account: an agent edits code, the build deploys, model calls go through the gateway, and GPU endpoints run on demand.
Migration path
Move custom Cog containers to app.nz when the model endpoint should live with the app platform; keep Replicate where its marketplace is fastest.
Bottom line
app.nz hosts the app, routes the models, and runs the GPU or worker infrastructure behind them.
