About stately.ai

Stately provides tools to build and deploy workflows and app logic using state machines. It offers a visual editor, AI-enhanced features, and collaborative tools for designing, simulating, and generating code from diagrams. Stately supports XState, an open-source library for managing state in JavaScript and TypeScript applications, and provides integrations for various frameworks like React, Vue, and Svelte. It also offers Stately Sky, a logic-as-a-service platform for deploying state machines as actors in the cloud.

How to Use

Use the visual editor to create state machine diagrams, simulate their behavior, generate code, and deploy them to Stately Sky. Connect to GitHub for syncing with your codebase and use the Stately Inspector to debug running apps.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Drag-and-drop visual editor lowers the barrier for non-developers to define logic.
  • AI assistance accelerates design and code generation from natural language.
  • Simulation and live testing allow validation before deployment.
  • Bidirectional sync ensures visual and code representations stay aligned.
  • Built on open-source XState with no vendor lock-in.
  • Generates React apps and tests automatically, saving development time.
  • Integrates with popular frameworks and tools (React, Vue, Svelte, GitHub, VS Code).
  • Stately Inspector and sequence diagrams aid debugging complex actor interactions.
Cons
  • Free tier limited to 3 AI generations per month; requires subscription for private projects and advanced features.
  • Professional plan costs $33/month (annual) or $39/month (monthly); may be expensive for individual developers.
  • Team plan adds $167/month for up to 10 members, which can add up for larger teams.
  • AI generation quota even on paid plans (e.g., 1,000 generations/month on Professional) may be restrictive for heavy users.
  • Primarily aimed at JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem; XState is not available natively for other languages.
  • Learning curve for users unfamiliar with state machines, statecharts, and the actor model.
