Who it is for

Everyone starts somewhere

A free, shared platform for learning, first prototypes and trying Thinger.io on your own hardware.

  1. 01 · Classrooms

    Students and classrooms

    Coursework, labs and final projects on a real IoT backend. Each student opens a free account, so nobody has to ask IT for a server.

    • Lab sessions
    • Final-year projects
    • Thesis prototypes
  2. 02 · Makers

    Makers and hobbyists

    A weather station, a greenhouse, a garage door. Connect the board on your bench, then read it or switch it from your phone.

    • Home projects
    • Weather stations
    • Weekend builds
  3. 03 · Evaluation

    Developers evaluating

    Try the console, the device libraries and the REST API on your own hardware before choosing a platform. They are the ones production runs on.

    • Proof of concept
    • API integration
    • Platform shortlist

From day one

Connect, record, visualize, integrate

A free account is the real console. Five steps take a board from first sketch to your own app.

An ESP32 sketch using the Thinger.io client library.

The console, the libraries and the API are the same ones that run in production. Nothing you learn here is throwaway.

LEARN BY CONNECTING SOMETHING REAL

When you take it to production

The same platform, on an instance of your own

  • Everything you learned

Adds

  • A dedicated instance in your region
  • Room for a fleet, storage sized to your plan

Your data can always leave through the REST API or a CSV export.

Deployment modes

One platform, four ways to run it

Most projects start here and grow into a private cloud instance.

CloudThis page Private Cloud On-Premise Enterprise
Best for Learning, first prototypes and makers Products and fleets in production Policies that keep data inside your own perimeter Strict security, compliance and contractual requirements
Infrastructure Shared community cloud A dedicated instance per customer Your own servers and network Isolated infrastructure designed for the project, ours or in your cloud
Operations Managed by Thinger.io Managed by Thinger.io Operated by your IT team, with our support Managed by Thinger.io to your requirements
Pricing Free Public plans from 49 EUR per month Sized per project Sized per project, custom SLA

The platform is the same in every mode, so the choice is about who runs it, where it lives and what the contract has to guarantee.

Security

Certified processes, per device credentials

Operated by an ISO 27001 certified company. Even on a free account, every device has its own credential and every API call a scoped token.
