10 Free AI Coding Tools Tested: Only 3 Worth Installing
A developer tested 10 free AI coding tools over three days, finding only Cursor, GitHub Copilot (free), and Tongyi Lingma deliver quality. Cursor scored 9.5/10 for code completion, while Copilot's free tier offers 2,000 completions monthly. The rest suffer from feature cuts or slow response times.
