Firebase Studio
Firebase Studio provides a browser workspace where you import repos, use Gemini-powered code assistance to write, refactor, and test front-end and back-end code, preview apps, and deploy one-click prototypes, producing runnable app previews and exportable project assets.
The linked official pages document preview access only: 3 workspaces at no cost during preview, and members of the Google Developer Program get up to 30 workspaces; no paid plan prices are listed.Is Firebase Studio right for you?
Good for
- Teams that need an integrated browser workspace to prototype full‑stack apps, import repositories, and use AI-assisted coding and previews for short-term development.
- Integrated Gemini assistance for coding, debugging, testing, refactoring, explaining, and documenting code inside the workspace.
- Quick project start with repository import from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or a local machine and many templates.
Keep in mind
- The product is being sunsetted and the site states you cannot create new workspaces after a specified date.
- Projects that will require new workspaces after March 22, 2027, because Firebase Studio is being sunsetted; plan migration and confirm export paths before investing in long-term projects.
Pricing and plan limits
The linked official pages do not list ongoing paid plan prices, billing terms, or post‑preview pricing details.
