Developer tool comparisons, weighted.

Every other comparison site hands you a static feature matrix and leaves the ranking to you.
toolweight lets you say what matters, cold start, egress price, .au support, exit cost, and re-ranks the table on the spot.
The answer is different for every team, so the page shouldn’t pretend otherwise.

Weight is the whole idea

Every field carries a direction, higher or lower is better, and a default weight from 0 to 10.
Scores are a weighted mean over the fields that actually have a value.
A tool is never punished for a fact nobody has published; it only loses where it genuinely loses.
Each category ships preset profiles: “cheapest at volume”, “most agent-friendly”, “best from Australia”.
The weights travel in the URL.
A ranking tuned to your priorities is a link you can paste into a Slack thread and argue about.

Most agent-friendlySandbox providers

A preset is just a set of weights. Change them and the table re-sorts, no account, no saved state, just the URL.
