S/A/B tier lists of the AI dev tools builders actually use: app builders, coding agents, IDEs, hosting and model APIs. Updated daily. By @SageKeyLabs

Patch now: CVE-2026-111497, a Brotli decoder out-of-bounds write, can lead to RCE when an app decompresses untrusted data.

Fixed in:
• Node.js 22.23.4, 24.22.1 or 26.12.1
• Bun 1.4.4 (rebuild bun build --compile binaries)

GPT-6.2 Astra is seriously impressive. It's a massive leap over GPT-6 Astra, outperforms Opus 5.5 in several areas, and looks ready to give the highly anticipated Fable 5.5 some serious competition.

Expect a huge improvement in design taste, much stronger technical skills, and a whole new level of coding performance.

New on ToolTier today:

• Supabase: new public tables now need an explicit GRANT before the Data API can see them
• A tampered Claude Code extension (2.1.313) was in Cursor's marketplace, up to 5,000 users
• Lovable can now import apps from Replit, Bolt, Base44 and v0

Tiers unchanged.

New on ToolTier today:

• GPT-6.1 Terra: $1 in / $5 out per 1M tokens
• Copilot assisted permissions are GA
• Cursor Agent SDK is GA

Tiers unchanged.

Your AI agent writes a lot of Bash, Terraform and Dockerfiles. Lint them:

• Bash: ShellCheck
• Dockerfiles: Hadolint
• Terraform: Checkov
• All-in-one: Trivy by @AquaSecTeam (pin your actions)
• PR layer: @github AI Scan

Cursor vs GitHub Copilot: Cursor is S tier, Copilot is A tier in our AI Coding IDEs list.

Copilot is still a strong pick if you want to stay in the VS Code or JetBrains you already use, with almost every frontier model on the menu.

[ToolTier.ai @tooltierai]

Coding Agents tier list:

S: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex
A: Devin, OpenCode, Muse Code
B: Cline

Claude Code is the best all-round agent and plans before it edits. Codex is the most autonomous for bulk work.

https://t.co/nVRALxwptW

[ToolTier.ai @tooltierai]

Backend, DB & Auth tier list:

S: Supabase
A: Convex, Firebase, Neon
B: Clerk

Supabase is still the vibe-coder default: Postgres, auth, storage and edge functions. Convex is the reactive TypeScript backend AI agents write really well.

[Claude @claudeai]

We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent.

It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.

[ToolTier.ai @tooltierai]

@nikupadhyayy Both are S tier for us, so it's about fit. Claude Code for all-round work in big codebases, it plans before it edits. Codex for bulk autonomous work, and it starts on ChatGPT's Free plan. Side by side: https://t.co/UuhZy8bnq6

[ToolTier.ai @tooltierai]

@JadhavAjay01 Heads-up: Windsurf is now part of Cognition's Devin, a desktop editor plus cloud agents you assign like a teammate. It's A tier in our coding agents list (Free, Pro $20/mo). Claude Code stays S if you're already on Claude: https://t.co/vixXpucxrB

[ToolTier.ai @tooltierai]

@AdamJonesInk A second reviewer is worth it on a big project. Easiest start is an AI PR reviewer: Greptile's free Starter gives 1 dev 50 credits/mo, CodeRabbit's free plan reviews in VS Code and the CLI, and Claude Team/Enterprise has Code Review built in. https://t.co/XJ0yuIPiP9

[ToolTier.ai @tooltierai]

The math on 12h caching: a 12-hour cache write is 2.5x the input price (vs 1.25x for 30 min). Cached reads stay 0.1x (0.05x on GPT-6.1 Sol).

Set prompt_cache_options.ttl to "12h" (Responses API, GPT-5.6+). Pays off for all-day agents.

[OpenAI Developers @OpenAIDevs]

You can now choose 12-hour prompt caching in the API.

Persistent agents, like dots, reuse context throughout the day.

You can keep shared instructions, tools, and context cached longer and pay the lower cached-input rate, even when requests are hours apart.

[ToolTier.ai @tooltierai]

@alexander_jais @greptile Both are S tier for us. Greptile's free Starter (1 dev, 50 credits/mo) makes it the easy solo pick, CodeRabbit fits seat-priced team reviews. Credit math: base review 1, Plus 3, Apex 10. Side by side: https://t.co/iWOMe1GVyf

[ToolTier.ai @tooltierai]

Agents dying mid-task is the worst. durable-harness logs every model and tool call, so a new function picks up the turn and finished calls aren't billed twice.

Pi and OpenCode now; Claude Code and Codex experimental in Vercel Sandbox.

[Vercel @vercel]

Introducing 𝚍𝚞𝚛𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎-𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜. Run Pi, OpenCode, Codex, Claude Code, eve, fx, or your own harness durably on Vercel.

With 𝚍𝚞𝚛𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎-𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜, agents automatically resume work after failures and run for hours, days, or months. https://t.co/XkqmULA2ng

[ToolTier.ai @tooltierai]

@stackway24 Our tier list has two S tiers: Claude Code for all-round work in big codebases (it plans before it edits) and Codex for bulk autonomous work. OpenCode is A if you want open source with any model: https://t.co/nVRALxwXju

[ToolTier.ai @tooltierai]

Neon Realtime: any deterministic SQL query can now be a live query (useLiveQuery in React, SDK or CLI), with branching and scale-to-zero intact.

Public beta, free during beta (compute and egress still billed). No row-level security yet.

ToolTier is live on Product Hunt today 🚀

It has tier lists of the AI tools builders actually use, covering coding agents, app builders, hosting and more, all checked against real pricing and updated daily.

I'd love your feedback: https://t.co/mnwfxR9CS4 #ProductHunt #AItools #buildinpublic #vibecoding

Claude Code Review is now GA for Team and Enterprise plans.

Automatic PR reviews take about 6-10 minutes, with Quick, Standard or Deep set per repo. On other plans, /code-review runs a lighter review locally.
