Every tool, every axis, one page: the comparison matrix is live

All 45 app builders against all 10 scored axes on a single page, winner marked in every column. No more clicking between tool pages to compare an axis across the field.

By Nadia Brandt

The board has had per tool scores and per duel vote splits since launch. What it did not have was a single view across the whole field on one axis at a time, so today we shipped the matrix.

What it shows

/matrix lists all 45 app builders down the left, with a tier rail in the same colour as the tool's band, and the ten scored axes across the top: design, speed, agent performance, reliability, integrations, SEO and GEO, scalability, value, API and MCP, and code ownership. Every cell is that tool's community score on that specific axis, not the blended overall number. The highest score in each column is marked, so you can read straight down a column and see who actually wins reliability, or value, or code ownership, without opening ten tool pages.

The first column is sticky, so the tool name stays in view while you scroll a wide table on a phone. Nothing on the page needs JavaScript: it is a server rendered table, readable with scripts off and by any crawler that fetches the raw HTML.

Why a single overall score was not enough

The board rank already told you who wins on the published weights. It could not tell you, at a glance, whether the tool ranked ninth on the whole board might actually be the strongest single choice if code ownership is the only axis you care about. The matrix answers that question directly instead of making you reconstruct it from ten separate pages.

What we did not change

No tool's tier, community score or vote count moved because of this. The matrix reads the same underlying axis votes that already power the per axis bars on every tool page, it just lays all of them out next to each other.

The methodology behind every axis, including the exact wording of what each one measures, is on the scoring page.

Check the numbers yourself

Every figure quoted here comes from the live board. The full dataset is public under a CC-BY licence, so you can verify a claim, disagree with it, or reweight the axes and get a different answer.
