How to choose coding & development tools
Most coding tools in this category fall into one of a few types. Matching the type to how you work matters more than any single feature.
- Where it runs. Some are editors or editor plugins: Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot (VS Code, JetBrains and more) and JetBrains AI. Aider works in the terminal and commits its edits to git. Lovable and Replit are browser builders where you describe an app in plain language.
- How much it does on its own. Devin and OpenAI Codex are agents that plan, write and ship changes across a repo. Copilot and Cursor can also suggest and review code while you stay in control.
- Local vs. cloud models. Ollama, LM Studio and Mistral let you run open models on your own machine or servers, which helps if your code can't leave your network.
- Pricing. Many have free tiers. Listed paid plans start at $8/mo (Cursor), $10/mo (Copilot), $18/mo (Replit) and $20/mo (Windsurf).
Frequently asked questions
Are there free AI coding tools?
Yes. Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Replit, Lovable, Ollama, LM Studio and Mistral are listed as freemium, so each has a free tier. What the free tiers include varies, and we haven't tested their limits.
How much do AI coding assistants cost?
Listed starting prices are Cursor from $8/mo, GitHub Copilot from $10/mo, Mistral from $14.99/mo, Ollama from $16.67/mo, Replit from $18/mo, and Windsurf and LM Studio from $20/mo. OpenAI Codex is paid only. We don't have pricing for Aider, Devin or JetBrains AI.
What should I look for when choosing one?
First, check whether it works where you already code: your editor (VS Code or JetBrains), the terminal (Aider) or the browser (Replit, Lovable). Next, decide how much you want an agent to do without you, like Devin or OpenAI Codex, versus assisting while you work. Finally, check whether you need local or self-hosted models (Ollama, LM Studio, Mistral) and whether you need API access.
What are the alternatives to GitHub Copilot?
For an AI-first editor, there's Cursor or Windsurf. JetBrains AI covers JetBrains users, and Aider is a terminal-based option. For more autonomous agents, there's Devin or OpenAI Codex. To run models locally, there's Ollama or LM Studio.
