Compare the Top IoT Development Platforms as of April 2025

What are IoT Development Platforms?

IoT development platforms are suites of tools that provide the software, hardware and services needed to develop and manage applications for connected devices. These platforms allow developers to access remote collection points, such as sensors or other networks, to control the devices and interact with them in real time. They also provide multiple development environments, allowing developers to develop applications with an array of languages, frameworks and protocols. IoT development platforms offer secure data storage and communication capabilities to ensure the security of data collected from connected devices. Compare and read user reviews of the best IoT Development platforms currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.
