Hi Product Hunt 👋 We built stackpick.app because every AI tools directory we found listed thousands of tools and decided nothing.
So we made the opposite: 57 AI dev tools across 11 jobs (editor, app builder, coding agent, agent framework, LLM API, hosting, database, auth, payments, design-to-code, testing), with one pick per job and 4 ready-made stacks like "Ship a SaaS this weekend".
A few things we added since the first version:
- An AI coding cost calculator (/cost). Pick tools and a team size and it adds up the published prices. Each price links to the vendor page with the date we checked it, and tools we couldn't verify are left off.
- A weekly "what shipped" feed with dated, sourced release notes.
- A free, read-only JSON API and MCP server (/developers), so your coding agent can ask "best database for this job?" and get the same ranking as the site. It's on the official MCP Registry.
How the scores work: Ease 22%, Power 33%, Price 15%, Vibe-coder fit 30%. They're editorial estimates, not benchmarks, and the formula is public on /about. Some links are affiliate links, but they never change a score or an order, and rankings are never sponsored.
Tell us where we're wrong. If you think something other than Cursor or Claude Code should be #1, we'd honestly like to hear why.
