Overview
Firebase Studio is an AI programming tool launched by Google, deeply integrated with the Firebase backend ecosystem (database/authentication/storage/hosting). AI Agent can develop full-stack applications and deploy them to Google Cloud with one click. However, Google has announced that Firebase Studio will cease service on March 22, 2027, and no new workspaces can be created. Users are advised to migrate to Google AI Studio or Google Antigravity.

Pricing
During the preview period, Firebase Studio provides 3 workspaces for free, and Google Developer Program members can get up to 30 workspaces. Firebase backend services have a free tier (Spark plan), with pay-as-you-go charges beyond that. Note: The service will cease on March 22, 2027, and no new workspaces can be created after that.
Summary
Firebase Studio is the best entry point for AI development within the Google ecosystem, suitable for developers using the Firebase backend. Unlike general-purpose platforms like Replit/Bolt.new, it is deeply tied to the Google technology stack. However, please note that this service will cease on March 22, 2027, and it is recommended to migrate to Google AI Studio or Google Antigravity.
