Firebase Studio is a web and Android app prototyping environment with real-time collaboration and a full-stack runtime.
What Firebase Studio is
Firebase Studio is a web and Android app prototyping environment with real-time collaboration and a full-stack runtime. Projects can come from source control, local archives, or Figma designs, and private projects with access controls are supported. Gemini assists with chat, code generation, tool running, inline suggestions, tests, bugs, and dependencies. Nix can customize system packages, language tooling, IDE settings, previews, and configurations. Named languages include Go, Java, .NET, Node.js, and Python Flask; named frameworks include Next.js, React, Angular, Vue.js, Android, and Flutter. Access is available at no cost, with three workspaces per user on the no-cost option; Premium provides 30. However, signup and new workspace creation have been disabled since June 22, 2026. Firebase Studio is scheduled to sunset on March 22, 2027, while already deployed Firebase apps continue running afterward. It remains in Preview without an SLA or deprecation policy.

Who it suits
Firebase Studio suits developers prototyping web or Android applications who want collaborative workspaces, Gemini assistance, and customizable environments. Existing Firebase users should note the signup limits and planned sunset.
Verdict
Firebase Studio brings collaborative prototyping, Gemini assistance, and configurable development environments together at no cost. Its disabled onboarding and announced sunset make it unsuitable for starting new work now, despite deployed apps continuing afterward.
