Transitioning from Trinket to Pickcode

Trinket will be shutting down in 2026. We’re working with their team to support computer science teachers looking for an alternate platform.

About Pickcode

Pickcode is an online IDE, similar to Trinket. With a free account, you can create unlimited projects in Python, Java, and HTML/CSS/JS.

With our paid Pickcode Classroom plan, teachers can create lessons, set up classes and assignments, and view student work in real time. Our paid plan also allows for creating programs with graphical output, like Python Turtle and Pygame or Java Swing. You can see a full demo video here.

Pickcode Classroom costs $500/teacher plus $10/student per year. We are considering options for adding a lower-priced plan similar to Trinket’s Code+, and will have more info about that later this year.

Moving forward

This spring we’ll be adding support for creating courses and embedding code editors which are popular features of Trinket. We will also be releasing an import tool to automatically transfer the materials you had in your Trinket account to Pickcode. We can't guarantee that we will support 100% of Trinket's features, but please let us know if there are other features of Trinket you'd like us to add.

If you are interested in using Pickcode, please reach out to info@pickcode.io or book a demo with us and we would be happy to chat. If you email us we can also add you to our monthly newsletter so that you can receive updates about the features we add throughout the year. We want to do our best to help the community, so any thoughts or feedback would be helpful.
