In their own words
Playcode
Playcode combines an AI builder for websites and apps with a cloud runtime for hosting full-stack projects. Describe a site or app in plain language, then edit it visually or work with its React, Vue, or HTML code. Playcode Cloud includes production hosting, a database, logins, files, background jobs, HTTPS, and WebSockets. It can restore code, files, and database together to a saved point in about a second. Projects can be downloaded as code and moved to another host; Playcode says users own their code. Its agent can build API integrations for services such as Stripe, email, Telegram, and WhatsApp when supplied with required keys. Playcode supports web, Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, with real-time collaboration, public sharing, deployment support, and custom domains. The free plan costs nothing and allows three projects, one collaborator, and requires branding. Pro costs $25 a month; Max costs $100 a month. Automatic cross-machine scaling and multi-region failover are still on the roadmap.
