Preseason

Preseason is a benchmarking dashboard that tracks which developer tools AI coding agents pick when working through a fixed panel of vibe-coding prompts, ranging from beginner tasks to complex, production-grade scenarios. Rather than testing raw model quality, it measures tool selection behavior across categories such as authentication, databases, payments, hosting, and LLM tooling, publishing live rankings like PostgreSQL leading databases and Stripe dominating payments. The tool is built for developers, engineering teams, and tool vendors who want to understand which technologies AI agents gravitate toward for a given kind of project, which is increasingly useful as more code gets written with AI assistance. It catalogs more than 40 tools across its tracked categories and shows comparative metrics for each. The site does not disclose pricing and appears to be a free, openly browsable dashboard rather than a paid product. It was created by a single developer rather than a company, and as a new project its benchmark panel and methodology haven't yet been independently reviewed, so the rankings should be read as one team's snapshot rather than a settled industry standard.
