If Windsurf isn't right

• Cursor in coding

  The editor most builders end up in: codebase-aware edits that actually land.

  Free tier; Pro from $20/mo

• Claude in coding

  My pick for anything long: contracts, big codebases, a messy brief. It reads carefully and says when it isn't sure.

  Free tier; Pro from $20/mo

• GitHub Copilot in coding

  Safe default for teams already on GitHub; strong autocomplete, solid chat.

  Free tier; Pro $10/mo

• Replit in coding

  Idea to a running URL without installing anything. The code gets messy if you keep going, so treat it as a sketchpad.
