đź”® your predictions for vibecoding tools/changes in 2026!?
Let's play a bit of Nostradamus! What are your thoughts on 2026 changes in vibecoding tools capabilities, market dominance etc?
Here is mine:
🔮 From “prompt → app” to “ideate → define → plan → build.”
The winners won’t start with a random prompt. They’ll start with structure: clarity, scope, flows, acceptance criteria — then build.
đź”®A whole services ecosystem will form around vibecoding.
Two obvious categories:
= “Make it release-ready” (engineers finishing the last 20%: architecture, edge cases, compliance etc)
= GTM for the masses (hundreds of thousands of apps shipped… and most builders won’t know what to do next)
🌟 Also: hackathons + internal workshops inside enterprises will become the new “sexy” way to learn AI. The best vibecoding companies will run these as growth loops.
đź”®Enterprise will enter heavily the chat.
Big players will optimize for ENT prototyping + internal tooling, where budgets exist and “good enough fast” is a real superpower.
đź”®Pricing will drop (or evolve).
A real reason people leave vibecoding tools for Cursor is simple: cost (even €20/month is a friction point at scale). Expect pricing to shift in favor of users — and monetization to get more creative.
đź”®Influencer-educators will become distribution.
The value of an “army” of consultants/influencers who teach AI via workshops will compound. A strong professional ecosystem can 100× your reach.
đź”®Micro-SaaS stories will explode.
We’ll hear hundreds of “mom & pop” businesses doing $1–5k/month — not unicorns, but real freedom businesses from non-tech people.
đź”®Mobile becomes a priority for almost everyone.
The next wave won’t stop at web prototypes. People will want real mobile products.
đź”®Niche wins again.
As broad tools saturate, builders will go specialized: “video-only landing pages with AI” type products… or what I’m personally obsessed with: native iOS apps and building modaal.dev
Meanwhile, AI companies will keep shifting upmarket to bigger deals and stickier customers.
Curious what you’re seeing — what would you add / disagree with?
