Major Update: Unlimited Free Coding!
We've removed all code limits. Playcode is now completely free to use with unlimited coding in the playground.
New
- Unlimited Free Coding - We've completely removed the 8-line code limit! Code as much as you want, experiment freely, build anything - no restrictions, no timers, no paywalls.
- Simplified Pricing - One simple plan: Playcode Pro at $9.99/month or $99/year (save $20 annually). No confusing tiers, no feature gates.
- Embedded Stripe Checkout - Upgrade without leaving Playcode. Supports all payment methods: cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank accounts. 3D Secure handled automatically.
- Instant Cancellation Option - New "Cancel immediately" option for those who need to downgrade right away (standard cancellation still available).
- Plan Switching in Billing Portal - Switch between monthly and yearly billing anytime. Get prorated credits when upgrading to annual.
- Collaboration Limits - Free accounts support 1 collaborator (perfect for pair programming and 1-on-1 interviews). Pro gets unlimited collaborators for team sessions.
- Project Export (Pro) - Download your projects as ZIP files with source code and production build. Pro-only feature.
Improvements
- Grandfathering Policy - Already have 100 projects? Keep them all! The 3-project limit only applies to NEW saves. We don't punish early adopters.
- Smarter Upgrade Prompts - Hit a limit? See exactly what you have (your 3 projects listed) and what you'd get with Pro. No more confusion.
- Stripe Billing Portal Integration - Full control over your subscription: download invoices, update cards, add tax IDs, switch plans - all without contacting support.
- Real-time Webhook Sync - Cancel in Stripe? Reactivates in Playcode instantly. Switch plans? Updates immediately. Everything stays in perfect sync.
- Project Counter in Dashboard - Free users see "2/3 projects" right in the header. Always know where you stand.
- Reactivation Support - Changed your mind? "Don't Cancel" button brings back your subscription instantly, or use the billing portal.
Fair Downgrade Policy
If you cancel, here's what happens:
- Keep all existing projects - Even if you have 100, they're safe (grandfathered)
- Private → Public - Your private projects become public
- Custom domains removed - Sites get random number subdomains
- Storage: 1GB → 4MB - Large assets over 4MB will be deleted
- Keep using Playcode - Continue coding, just can't save new projects over limit
