Hands-on comparisons of developer tools, platforms, and APIs — tested the way you actually use them.
Five benchmarks across six hosted browser providers — Browserless, Browserbase, Anchor, Hyperbrowser, Kernel, and Steel — all run on free tiers. Session lifecycle speed, idle billing, bot detection, CAPTCHA solving, and parallel session handling.
I gave Replit and Amp the same prompt and $20 each. Here's every dollar spent and what each tool built.
I run the same five browser automation tasks through Browser Use and the Claude Computer Use API to compare DOM-based and vision-based agents on form filling, scraping, structured output, visual interaction, and multi-step navigation.
Comparing Supabase and PlanetScale for agent experience. We tested how easily Claude Code could discover, sign up for, and build a full-stack app with each database platform.
Signing up for Heroku takes 9 screens and requires MFA enrollment, a 15-character password, and Salesforce Terms of Service. Railway takes one click. Here's a side-by-side comparison.
I tested three transcription APIs with different agent visibility levels to see if discoverability predicts quality. The invisible platform had the best features.
Comparing Honeycomb and SigNoz for application monitoring. We tested how easily an AI agent could integrate each tool into an app, to compare the service's features, documentation, and usability.
Testing three browser automation platforms through AI coding agents. Comparing discoverability, documentation quality, and real-world features like CAPTCHA solving, parallel execution, and bot detection to see if agent visibility predicts actual performance.
We built a small OpenTelemetry-instrumented app and will ask an agent to set up OpenObserve and Grafana stacks to see which gets us to useful signals faster.
Comprehensive comparison of Claude Code and Amp Code testing accuracy, automation, privacy, permissions, cost tracking, and speed. We built the same full-stack app with both tools to find real differences that matter.
