Glitch vs Rails Spring: What are the differences?

Developers describe Glitch as "The easiest way to build apps and bots". Combining automated deployment, instant hosting and collaborative editing, Gomix gets you straight to coding. The apps you create are instantly live, hosted by us, and always up to date with your latest changes. Build products, prototype ideas, and hack solutions to problems. On the other hand, Rails Spring is detailed as "Rails application preloader". Spring is a Rails application preloader. It speeds up development by keeping your application running in the background so you don't need to boot it every time you run a test, rake task or migration.

Glitch can be classified as a tool in the "Platform as a Service" category, while Rails Spring is grouped under "Rails Testing".

Rails Spring is an open source tool with 2.51K GitHub stars and 274 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Rails Spring's open source repository on GitHub.
