Glitch: questions

Is Glitch still free?

No. Project hosting and user profiles shut down on 8 July 2025; code export stayed open until the end of 2025.

What can I use instead of Glitch?

Free options in the same lane include Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, Northflank. Each has its limits and catch listed on its page.
