In their own words
Binder
Binder provides free, shareable computing environments built from public code repositories. BinderHub dynamically creates an environment image and runs a browser session. Documented sources include GitHub, GitLab, and GitHub Gist. JupyterLab is the default interface, with the classic notebook also available; examples cover Python, R, Julia, and Octave, plus RStudio, Shiny, Voilà, and Bokeh browser sessions. The public mybinder.org service requires no login and is intended for interactive, temporary coding rather than as a backend for for-profit products. Users receive at least 1 GB RAM and may receive up to 2 GB. Sessions shut down after more than 10 minutes of inactivity and aim for up to six hours or one CPU-hour for intensive work, without a continuation guarantee. Session contents are destroyed when users log off or become inactive, and there is no persistent storage. A repository may have up to 100 simultaneous sessions. Binder also supports self-hosting.
