What Particle Web IDE is
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. Supported boards exclude Tracker One and Tracker SoM, and the IDE does not include a device simulator. Its free plan costs nothing, billed forever, and covers 100 devices and 100K Data Operations per month. Basic costs $299 a month per block, with 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 uses custom pricing and lists premium support options; Enterprise also has custom pricing, with customized Data Operations packages. The free, Basic, and Plus plans specify device and monthly Data Operations allowances, while the two custom-priced options describe tailored packages or support. Particle Web IDE is available on the web, so its development environment runs in a browser.
