Kategorieratgeber230 dokumentierte Tools
The best AI coding tools depend on how you work: in the terminal, inside an editor, or in a browser without writing much code. Our coding category lists 230 AI coding tools, from terminal agents and IDE assistants to browser-based app builders and testing add-ons. They solve different problems, so a single ranking only helps once you know your workflow. Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that reads your codebase and edits files, while GitHub Copilot is an AI coding assistant with code completions, chat and agent features, and OpenAI Codex also ships an IDE extension.
The biggest differences are pricing and how you pay. 179 of the 230 tools have a free plan or free tier, and 137 have a verified starting price. Some agentic AI tools are bundled into a subscription you may already hold, such as Claude Pro at $20 per month or ChatGPT Go at $8. Others charge per seat, per credit or per usage, and a few let you bring your own model keys. Usage limits apply on Claude Code and OpenAI Codex plans, and dedicated tools such as diffray and Git AutoReview handle AI pull request review.

Preise US-Preis unbestätigt
Cursor (Hobby), GitHub Copilot (Copilot Free), Windsurf (Free), Codex (Free) and Cline (Open Source) all list a $0 option. Of the 230 AI coding tools in our category, 179 have a free plan or free tier.
Individual paid plans in our data mostly start between about $8 and $20 per month: Codex Go is $8, GitHub Copilot Pro is $10 and Claude Pro, Cursor Individual (Pro) and Windsurf Pro are $20. Higher tiers reach $100 to $200 per month, for example Claude Max 20x at $200.
It depends on the plan you already pay for, since we have no head-to-head test. Codex is included in ChatGPT plans from Free and Go ($8 per month), while Claude Code is not in the Free Claude plan and starts with Pro at $20 per month. Both work in the terminal and IDEs.
App builders such as Replit and Lovable are aimed at non-developers. Replit lists a free mode and Core at $20 per month, and Lovable has a free plan with 5 daily build credits.
Yes, some tools allow it. Cline is an open-source agent with bring-your-own-model support, and Gemini CLI can authenticate with an API key or Vertex AI. Check each plan, because some features are limited when you use an API key.
