01What we do
ProgramCode helps developers and technical teams pick the tools, APIs and AI platforms they build on. We cover 49 categories, from workflow automation software to web analytics software, with reviews, pricing breakdowns, alternatives and head-to-head comparisons.
Our angle is the developer's: what a tool is in architectural terms, how you integrate it (API, SDKs, docs), what it costs at real usage, whether you can self-host it or read its source, and how hard it is to leave.
02Where our information comes from
- Vendor pricing pages and docs. Plans, prices, limits and add-ons come from the vendor's own pages, and every page shows the date we checked.
- Real users. We read Reddit threads where people discuss each tool. Quotes are copied word for word and linked to the thread.
- Search data. We cover the questions people actually search for, which is why some tools get a separate pricing or alternatives page and others don't.
We don't claim hands-on testing we haven't done. Read how we review and how we use AI.

04How we make money
Some links to vendors are affiliate links: if you buy, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes a score, a ranking or what we write, and vendors can't pay to be included or to see a review before it's published. Details: affiliate disclosure.
