GitHub Codespaces

A cloud development environment with a monthly free quota.

Documentation checked 20 Oct 2026. Not personally tested.

What you get

60 hours/month on a 2-core machine.

Renewal: Monthly
Credit card: No credit card
Who can use it: GitHub personal account on the Free plan.
Expiration: No fixed end date stated.
Access type: Coding tools

The catch

These are core hours, not wall-clock hours: a 4-core codespace burns the 60-hour allowance in 30 hours, and storage is metered separately at 15 GB. Idle codespaces keep costing until you stop them.

Before you claim it

Open the provider’s official page and confirm your account and region qualify.
Check the live allowance for the exact model or feature you intend to use.
Review billing settings before enabling paid usage or adding a payment method.

Coding tools

25 message + 100 integration credits/month

Build small apps with AI and a built-in database, auth and hosting.

No credit cardRecurring allowance

The catch. 25 message credits is a small budget, and credits cover both AI messages and integration actions, so larger models spend them faster. Paid plans start at $16 per month billed annually — cost the credits before a real project depends on it.
