Method

A matrix you can reopen.

AgentShelf is a static comparison of AI coding agents for people choosing a stack. The job is the feature and price matrix. The changelog is a short list under it, so you can see what moved since you last looked.

This is not a weekly newsletter product and not a rebuilt ShipLog. There is no course, no service offer, and no payment. Affiliates, sponsors, and paid listings are the only commercial ideas, and none of them are wired up.

What gets recorded

• Only statements from an official product, pricing, docs, changelog, or source repository page.
• Each price and each matrix cell stores the URL it came from. The page prints that link.
• If the official page does not say, the cell is Unknown. We do not fill the gap from memory or from another review site.
• The check date on this build is 15 Oct 2026.

Neutrality

Tools in this build: Aider, Amp, Claude Code, Cline, Codex, Continue, Cursor, Devin Desktop, GitHub Copilot, goose, OpenHands, Zed. Default sort is the name. A paid listing cannot add a tool that failed the source check, cannot hide one, and cannot change that order. Sponsored copy, if it ever exists, stays on the sponsor page and out of the matrix.

Freshness

Plans change without notice. A cell is true for the page we fetched on the check date. Read the source link before you buy or migrate a team.
