I've tried all (46 😵‍💫) AI Coding Agents & IDEs [Factory, Cursor, Heyboss, Windsurf, Emergent, Wrapifai, Copilot, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, MarsX, Canva, Devin, Github Spark, IDX, Stitch & more] The most complete list ever made (with demos & notes):

2. @heybossAI I'd say the most creative AI Coding tool on the market (. Can build production grade apps, with backend and database. I'm building my inbox agent here too, so far, I really love the design output. Works great for non-coders.

3. @EmergentLabsHQ Agentic Vibe coding tool. Handle entire apps with frontend & backend. Works pretty fast and feels like a CTO or a tech cofounder. The multi agent thing(coding agent, testing agent...) are cool too. I think it might turn into smth big.

4. - best for form based apps(calculators, ai generators, etc) - I use it to build mini tools for SEO or lead magnets - 100% nocode. Super easy to use I built this little app today with 1 prompt and 1min.

5. @create_xyz - it can clone a product when you drop the link to it - has connections to things like the movie db, hackernews and more - auth with one prompt Good if you wanna create functioning products with just a few prompts.

6. - perhaps the best for generating mobile apps from your phone - also it's mobile-first iteself, basically "generate mobile app from your mobile" - produces React Native apps (not just web wrappers) - uses Claude 3.7 Sonnet

7. - the best - works best for coders and not such a good fit for nocoders - can assist, autocomplete, refactor and even build entire modules/projects Here its been asked to migrate from Tailwind v3 to v4

8. @boltdotnew - started as a side project of stackblitz and went huge raising $105M - works for everyone(coders, nocoders, marketers...) - has out of the box integration with supabase for data, auth.. I built several lead magnets using bolt

9. @lovable_dev - fastest-growing EU based startup today ($10M ARR) - native supabase integration - the best AI+NoCode mix on the market (the wysiwyg part) - takes in screenshots as an input and can produce full web apps I use it instead of Figma 😃

11. Stitch from Google - best for prototyping - can be used by founders, designers, nocoders - much faster than all the others

12. Grok Studio from X AI My favorite way of playing with code. I think people could use it to learn coding (I strongly suggest all vibe coders to learn coding)

18. GitHub Copilot ( the OG of this game, started back in 2020 ) - can generate code - handles large codebases - can merge PRs, fix bugs, search code - supports agent mode now and also it's open sourced

19. @Replit AI - most advanced AI Agent for coding imho - has two modes: Agent or Assistant - true full stack app generator. Has its own server, db, hosting... Here is the real app I built using it

20. v0 from Vercel - best for making well-designed web pages or UIs - doesn't work well for fullstack apps - can use figma as a starting point - lets you edit elements one by one

21. MarsX (my own product) - a mix of AI, NoCode and High Code - I built @seobotai, @listingbott and @indexrusher using marsx - it takes the whole coding world to the next level since it isn't a website builder, but "SaaS builder"

22. Devin - not expensive anymore - targets the corporate world - acts as a junior dev in a dev team - sends pull requests, works alongside you or your team. Doesnt work as well for me yet, idk why, feels like it works well for good repos. Mine is a mess
