Google AI Studio is too expensive, the so called free tier credit gets depleted too quickly and you can barely build anything meaningful in such an environment. Firebase Studio offered unlimited vibecoding experience, and I wish this could be retained.
I’d like to strongly support the request to continue Firebase Studio, even if AI-powered features are removed.
For many student developers and beginners, Firebase Studio is not just about AI—it’s about having a simple, accessible environment to build and deploy apps without complex setup.
Even a lightweight version without AI would still be extremely valuable for: • Learning and experimentation
• Rapid prototyping
• Small personal and student projects
If maintaining the full product is difficult, could Google consider keeping a minimal or community-supported version instead of fully sunsetting it?
This platform lowers the barrier to entry for new developers, and losing it would impact many learners.
Thank you for considering this feedback.
