## What's the difference between code-server and VS Code Codespaces?
|

## What's the difference between code-server and OpenVSCode-Server?
|

|

Both code-server and VS Code Codespaces allow you to access VS Code via a
|
||||
browser.
|
||||
code-server and OpenVSCode-Server both allow you to access VS Code via a
|
||||
browser. The two projects also use their own [forks of VS Code](https://github.com/cdr/vscode) to
|
||||
leverage modern VS Code APIs and stay up to date with the upsteam version.
|
||||
|
||||
VS Code Codespaces, however, is a closed-source, paid service offered by
|
||||
Microsoft. While you can self-host environments with VS Code Codespaces, you
|
||||
still need an Azure billing account, and you must access VS Code via the
|
||||
Codespaces web dashboard instead of connecting directly to it.
|
||||
However, OpenVSCode-Server is scoped at only making VS Code available in the web browser.
|
||||
code-server includes some other features:
|
||||
|
||||
On the other hand, code-server is free, open-source, and can be run on any
|
||||
machine with few limitations.
|
||||
- password auth
|
||||
- proxy web ports
|
||||
- certificate support
|
||||
- plugin API
|
||||
- settings sync (coming soon)

## What's the difference between code-server and GitHub Codespaces?
|
||||
|
||||
Both code-server and GitHub Codespaces allow you to access VS Code via a
|
||||
browser. GitHub Codespaces, however, is a closed-source, paid service offered by
|
||||
GitHub and Microsoft.
|
||||
|
||||
On the other hand, code-server is self-hosted, free, open-source, and
|
||||
can be run on any machine with few limitations.
