Matrix/Method

Method and sources

AI Coding Agents Tracker compares 16 coding agents and app builders on 11 features. 116 of 176 cells are verified from 40 vendor pages and the official SWE-bench data file. Last checked Nov 4, 2026.

How a cell is filled

We fetch the vendor's own pricing page, docs or help center and record the URL and the date we checked it.
Text cells (price, where it runs, stacks, limits, benchmark) show the short value from that page. Yes/Partial/No cells use the vendor's wording in the note.
Partial means the capability exists with a caveat stated in the note.
Prices are USD per month for one person unless the cell says otherwise.

What Unknown means

We could not confirm the value on a page we fetched. That includes pages that render prices only in JavaScript (Lovable's plan prices, for example). Unknown is never a No.

Scope

Cloud coding agents work on their own on a repo and hand back a diff or PR. Prompt-to-app builders turn a description into a hosted app. IDE completion and in-editor agent mode are covered on our sister site, the AI Integration Matrix.

How this differs from other comparisons

AgentAtlas cloud agents: Compares where cloud agents start, what they return and their repo setup file. No app builders, prices or benchmarks.
AI Team Guide: best AI coding agents: Dated price table with sources. Prices only; no feature matrix or update feed.
Indexify: best AI coding tools: Long-form price round-up checked Oct 21, 2026. A blog post, not a refreshed dataset.
AskClash coding agents: Mixes CLIs, IDEs, app builders and cloud agents in one ranked list. Few source links per claim.
DevToolLab background agents: Five cloud agents in one table. No app builders.

This tracker puts cloud agents and app builders in one filterable matrix, sources every cell, adds official SWE-bench entries and publishes a diff-based update feed and JSON.

Refresh

Each week: refetch sources, rebuild data/agents.json, run scripts/gen_updates.py to diff against the last snapshot, then rebuild and deploy.

Affiliate and sponsor disclosure

Some outbound links may become affiliate links, and one weekly sponsor slot is sold (see Advertise). Neither changes any cell: values come only from sources.
