Frequently asked questions

How many tools are in the Developer Tools directory?

We list 41 products in 7 groups: Code Editors & IDEs, Version Control & CI/CD, API Tools, Monitoring & Observability, Frontend Frameworks & Libraries, Backend & Databases, Developer Utilities. Each listing links to the vendor's own site, and we only call a product a pick in the guides where we show our reasoning and the date we checked prices.

Which Developer Tools listings have a free plan?

None of the listings in this category advertise a free plan. Many vendors still offer a trial, so check each pricing page for the current terms.

Are the prices on this page current?

Treat them as a starting point. Vendors change plans, introductory discounts and renewal prices often, and a listing that says paid plans, see vendor has no verified starting price recorded. Confirm the price, billing period and renewal rate on the vendor's pricing page before you pay.
