AI agents4
Coding agents, taken one at a time and finished — what every route in costs, what we could get the thing to do on our own machine, and the cases where the honest answer is to use something else. Where we have not run a tool ourselves the page says so instead of implying otherwise. The rankings above us in this search result are written by people selling one of the entries.

Prices come off the vendor's page
Every figure is read from the seller's own pricing page and stamped with the date it was read. Nothing is remembered, converted, or averaged, and a tool sold four ways gets four prices rather than one convenient number.
Capabilities are run, not assumed
Where we can test a claim on our own machine we do, and the page carries the transcript. Where we cannot, the page says it read the documentation instead. Those two are labelled differently on purpose.
Nothing is scored
We publish no composite rating, no stars and no "8.4 out of 10". We run no benchmark that would justify one, and a number invented to fill a layout is worse than no number at all.
We sell none of them
We are not a vendor of any tool listed here, and no placement is for sale. That is not a virtue, it is just the reason our order can differ from the order on the pages ranking above us.
§ 03 / QUEUE
What's next.
In order of search demand, not preference. Each one gets the same treatment as the first — every route priced, the capabilities we can verify actually run — which is why they arrive one at a time rather than as a list of forty on day one.
