Overview

Project Jupyter makes free software for interactive computing on the web.

The stack includes JupyterLab, the classic Jupyter Notebook, JupyterHub for multi-user deployment and Voilà for turning notebooks into web apps.

Best for
Data scientists and researchers who want browser-based notebooks mixing code, text and output
Pricing
No prices are shown; the site describes Jupyter as free software and links to install and try-in-browser options.

Strengths and trade-offs

Strengths

  • Supports over 40 languages, including Python, R, Julia and Scala
  • Open notebook format and open kernel protocol to build on
  • JupyterHub adds multi-user deployment with pluggable auth
  • Notebooks share by email, Dropbox, GitHub or Notebook Viewer

Trade-offs

  • You install and run it yourself; no hosted service is offered on the page
  • Multi-user use needs a separate piece, JupyterHub, not the base notebook
  • Two overlapping notebook interfaces to pick between: JupyterLab and Notebook
  • Page states no pricing, support or service terms of any kind
