I've been a user for over 10 years I've been a user for over 10 years - whenever I need to spin up a new demo, prototype or just a playground to try out a feature or two, Codeanywhere is my go-to platform. I haven't needed always-on features much of the time but when I do, I flex my subscription to accommodate my needs. There are plenty of imitators but Codeanywhere is the one for me.

No Support and Scam Refund Policy They used to offer a wide variety of preconfigured installations or I could reliably install whatever I wanted on a generic container, but recently the offerings are sharply limited and flexibility to install is curtailed. This is no longer useful. Thinking it might be a memory issue, I upgraded my plan to try a larger container but the problem persisted. Within a day I had figured out that it wasn't going to work for me and closed the account and requested a refund of my upgrade fee (well within their refund window). They initially confirmed a refund would be forthcoming, but when nothing happened they said the person responsible was away for a few days but that it would happen soon. Now, almost a month past the original charge I have yet to receive any refund and they are no longer responding to inquiries. Update: Posting to trustpilot does get their attention and a refund was finally posted. Let's add one star to their review in recognition and five stars for trustpilot :)

No Support after their site SSL expired No Support after their site SSL expired. At the moment, we cannot use their platform due to this inconvenience. What bothers me most, no support acknowledge the situation.

Horrible customer support! I am a previous, numerous year subscriber to Codeanywhere but cancelled a couple years back due to company restrictions. I attempted to resubscribe using their in-house credit card form but the system declined my payment 4 seperate times over the course of a couple hours. I then used PayPal payment option and it worked perfectly. The next day I notice I was billed all 4 attempts to my credit card, even though the Codeanywhere control panel said it was declined and didn't activate my account. I reached out to their support staff explaining the problem and requesting the refund then literally got the response, "You're account is activated whats the problem?". I explained everything 1 more time in my response and have not received a reply in 10+ days. I now have to open a chargeback and dispute all 4 transactions because of this company's lack of support and functionality. Additionally they lost me as a subscriber. I would suggest avoiding Codeanywhere as Atom IDE with the Remote Editor plugin is completely free and also works very well.

Codeanywhere has given me the ability… Codeanywhere has given me the ability to code from anywhere (who would have guessed it?!) The ability to spin up virtual machines and environments based on what you need is a huge plus, and the always-on environment allows me to test without having to turn it on every time. I always recommend this platform to everyone who asks.
