Comparison to competitors

Superconductor is currently the best way to run AI coding agents in the cloud.

The way software development is done is in flux. Every week, new tools are emerging. We are well-funded and fully committed to remaining the best platform for building software with AI agents.

This comparison focuses on running coding agents in the cloud, not locally. Features and capabilities may differ for local or CLI-only usage.

Here is how we compare to some popular competitors:
