Blynk is a low-code IoT platform for Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi, offering device connectivity, dashboards, and white-label apps from $29 per month.
Blynk is a low-code IoT platform that helps hardware teams and hobbyists connect physical devices to branded mobile and web dashboards for monitoring and control. It began as a Kickstarter project in 2015 aimed at letting people build IoT apps without writing code, and the campaign quickly became one of Kickstarter's most successful IoT launches.
The company behind Blynk, Blynk Inc., is headquartered in Miami, Florida, and has grown over more than a decade into a platform used by over 1.5 million developers and thousands of companies across 136 countries, processing more than 180 billion IoT messages per month.
Blynk is especially popular with the Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi hobbyist community because of its native hardware library support, while also serving startups and enterprises that need white-labeled, production-grade IoT apps.
Blynk combines device connectivity, cloud infrastructure, and a low-code dashboard builder in one platform, supporting over 100 device types across Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN, Cellular, Satellite, and hybrid connectivity. Its portable C++ Blynk Library runs on hundreds of development boards, with native support for Wi-Fi modules like the ESP8266 and ESP32.
Higher tiers of the platform add fully brandable, white-labeled iOS and Android apps, a console for managing devices, fleets, and users at scale, and role-based access controls, along with an AI Assistant included on all plans to help configure dashboards, debug devices, and automate workflows.
For businesses that need reliability guarantees, Blynk's Production and Enterprise tiers add uptime SLAs, SMS alerting, private infrastructure, and on-premise deployment options for organizations with strict data or compliance requirements.
Blynk's Free plan supports up to 5 devices with one user account, one week of data retention, and roughly 100,000 messages per month, making it a genuinely usable option for hobbyist prototyping. The Starter plan is 29 dollars per month and raises those limits to 10 devices, one month of retention, and 10 million messages per month.
The Prototype plan is 99 dollars per month for 50 devices and users with six months of retention and unlimited messages, while the Production plan ranges from about 199 to 1,099 dollars per month depending on device count (100 to 1,000 devices), adding a 99.95 percent uptime SLA, SMS alerts, and priority support.
The Enterprise plan is custom-priced and includes a fully white-labeled solution with private, 24/7-monitored infrastructure, on-premise deployment options, and a 99.99 percent uptime SLA, requiring direct contact with Blynk's sales team for a quote.
