1/24. @SoftgenAI - works well for both coders and non coders - can fix its own bugs - can host the web apps It worked really well for my little project (Vacation calendar manager)

2. Cursor - a fork of a VC code - raised loads of funding turning into a unicorn - founders went on a Lex Fridman pod - turns coders into 10x devs. Not the best fit for non-coders.

3. Wrapifai - perfect for mini tools (lead magnets or tools to drive SEO traffic) - mostly produces functioning app right away with one prompt - doesn't handle serious apps - unlimited apps (instead of per token..)

4. Windsurf (works well for advanced apps. my top 3) - acts as a true agent - offers deepseek - can use the web search - has a memory.

5. GitHub Copilot ( the OG of this game, started back in 2020 ) - can generate code - handles large codebases - can merge PRs, fix bugs, search code

6. Lovable - fastest-growing EU based startup today ($10M ARR) - has native supabase integration - has the best AI+NoCode mix on the market

7. Bolt - started as a side project of stackblitz and went huge raising $105M - works similar to softgen, lovable & windsurf I built several lead magnets using bolt

8. v0 - 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

9. Replit - 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 https://seobotai.com/broken-li...

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

11. Claude - it can write and run code - super easy to get started (free) - works for basic cases. e.g. building components or learning coding

12. Amazon Q - very few people use it - totally lagging behind the top players

13. Pear AI - entered into YC - had a huge drama around forking a github repo - had a mentor call with them, two very talented guys taking an alternative path on competing with cursor

14. Devin - super expensive - targets corporate world - acts as a junior dev in a dev team very good review:

15. Github Spark - works well for small or demo apps - still behind the "waitlist"

16. IDX - free alternative to cursor - can build mobile apps - uses gemini

17. Webdraw - best for people with zero coding experience - totally genius UX - free - turns sketches into web apps

18. Tempo Labs - Generates full-stack apps using a text or image prompt - It starts by making an architecture and diagrams - I think they have the best AI Coding UX, wow

19. Cline - VC code plugin - works for large codebases - supports any LLM - runtime awareness

20. Continue dot Dev. - an open source alternative to Cursor

21. Databutton - from Norway - backed by VCs who backed one of my startups - has very unique approach, different from most of the players - works great for true nocoders

22. Base44 - for noncoders - all in one - creates dashboard-like apps pretty well

23. Qodo - for coders - can write tests, refactor and generate code - supports all llms(including deepseek)

24. Caffeine AI - new player - too early to say anything. for now just putting them into the list to come back to them later when they launch

25. Aider - a terminal app for generating web apps out of prompts

26. That's it. I built lots of AI tools using AI. Some of my projects: ↳ http://unicornplatform.com ↳ http://listingbott.com ↳ http://seobotai.com ↳ http://indexrusher.com More here: http://johnrush.me https://x.com/johnrushx/status...
