About
StackBlitz is a browser-based development platform for creating and running web applications. It uses WebContainers to boot Node.js development environments inside the browser tab, so code executes locally in the browser rather than on remote IDE servers.
The free Personal plan includes unlimited public StackBlitz projects, collections, and GitHub repositories. It is suited to developers who need a browser IDE for public work, while teams that need collaboration on GitHub organization repositories or private repositories must upgrade to paid plans.
- Browser-based Node.js environments
- Unlimited public projects
- Unlimited public collections
- Unlimited public GitHub repositories
- Private repository access on paid plans
- GitHub account required for saving work
Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable for public work: it includes unlimited public projects, collections, and GitHub repositories, and users can view and edit without a GitHub account. The main limits are around saving/collaboration and private org access, so it feels like a small but real slice of the paid Teams experience; a reasonable buyer-equivalent value is about $3/month, or roughly a quarter of a modest paid team subscription. A GitHub account is required to save work or collaborate, which adds friction, but the offer is perpetual rather than time-limited.
