Hey Product Hunt 👋

I’m Usman. I built Shipstack because every “top AI tools” list I saw was either a dump of 100 logos or quietly paid for rank. I wanted something I could trust when picking a daily driver.

Shipstack ranks tools by use case, not vibes:

Vibe coding / coding agents → https://shipstack.space/vibe-coding/
Image & video → https://shipstack.space/image-video/
Writing → https://shipstack.space/writing/
Research & agents → https://shipstack.space/research-agents/
Games & creative → https://shipstack.space/games-creative/
Productivity → https://shipstack.space/productivity/

Each category has a Top 10 plus a “New this week” strip. On the site you can also save tools to My Stack, compare up to 3 side-by-side, and get a welcome-back note when something new landed since your last visit — no login required.

Guides go deeper when you want “when to pick what” — e.g. Best AI coding agents 2026: https://shipstack.space/guides/best-ai-coding-agents-2026/

How money works: sponsorship never moves a rank. Sponsors buy clearly labeled placements only (Newsletter $99 · Category $249 · Homepage $399 · Launch $599) via Polar on https://shipstack.space/sponsors/. If that wall ever breaks, the product is dead — so I’m protective of it.

There’s a free weekly digest for ranking moves, and a suggest-a-tool path if we’re missing something.

Curious what you’d disagree with in the Top 10s — that’s the feedback that actually improves the rankings. Happy to answer anything.
