Particle Web IDE vs Wokwi

Particle Web IDE is a browser-based development environment for Particle device platforms. It supports C and C++, firmware debugging, and deployment to Particle devices running Particle Device OS. The supported boards exclude Tracker One and Tracker SoM, and the IDE does not include a device simulator. The Free plan costs nothing, billed forever, and covers 100 devices and 100K Data Operations per month. Basic costs $299 a month per block and includes 100 devices and 720K Data Operations per month per block. Plus costs $599 a month per block, with 100 devices and 5M Data Operations per month per block. Professional and Enterprise use custom pricing: Professional lists premium support options, while Enterprise lists customized Data Operations packages. The available plans therefore specify different device and monthly Data Operations allowances, with custom-priced options for tailored packages or support. Particle Web IDE is web-only.

Wokwi is a simulator for building and debugging firmware for simulated microcontrollers. It supports Arduino (C/C++), MicroPython, CircuitPython and Rust, with boards including Arduino Uno, Nano and Mega, ATtiny85, ESP32-family boards, several STM32 models and Raspberry Pi Pico. Supported protocols include WiFi, HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket, MQTT, NTP, CoAP, DNS, TCP, UDP, UART, I2C and SPI. The simulated targets are AVR, ESP32, STM32 and RP2040 microcontrollers; firmware can also be exported for Raspberry Pi Pico. Wokwi lists web, Linux, macOS and Windows platforms. Its free Community plan includes unlimited simulations, unlimited public projects and Virtual WiFi. Paid plans are billed annually: Hobby is €5.60 per month with 100 fast build minutes monthly; Hobby+ is €8.10 per month with 500; and Wokwi Pro is €20.00 per month with 1,000 fast build minutes and 2,000 CI minutes monthly.
