Code Assistants
AI coding tools, code editors, and developer assistants
AI coding tools help developers write, debug, and refactor code faster. Cursor and GitHub Copilot are the two dominant editor-integrated tools. Claude Code works from the command line. Windsurf offers a free alternative. Tabnine focuses on enterprise security. Pricing ranges from free to $40/mo (≈₹3,720/mo). We test each tool on identical coding tasks - building REST APIs, React components, debugging memory leaks, and multi-file refactoring - scoring correctness, code quality, and first-try acceptance rates.
