AI tools for coding: questions people ask

What counts as an AI tool for coding on this page?

A tool from one of the 9 categories that do developer's work: coding agents, app builders, site builders, design, testing, deploy, agent builders and workflow. The page is built from those category lists, so a tool is here because a category lists it, never because it paid to be.

Which type of AI tool for coding should I start with?

Start from the job, not the product. Each section above opens with one line on what that type of tool does; read those first, then open the category whose line matches the work you have in front of you.

Which AI tools for coding are free?

164 of the 350 tools here have a free plan, marked with a "Free plan" chip, and the line under the name says what the plan includes in the vendor's words. The full free list is on the free AI tools page.

Is this list of AI tools for coding a ranking?

No. The tools I have reviewed come first, then the rest in order of how visited they are, so the names you will recognise come early. The pills above the list filter it by the type of tool; the order says nothing about which is best.

How are the AI tools for coding tested?

Each category has one written procedure, the same for every tool in it, and the grade links to a test results page with the measurements and screenshots behind it. 25 of the tools on this page have been through it so far; the rest are listed by name, site and what they do, with no link until they are tested.
