About Prompts to Product

Why this exists

If you are a solo founder picking a stack in 2026, you face a problem of abundance. There are five legitimate AI app builders, three serious payment processors, four credible authentication services, and a dozen viable deployment platforms. Each has its own marketing site, its own pricing page, and its own framing of why it is the right choice.

The job of this site is to do the synthesis work so you do not have to. We read the documentation, track the changelogs, watch the pricing pages, and translate all of it into one place: clear comparisons, decision frameworks, and stack recommendations organized by who you are and what you are building.

How content is researched

We do not pretend to have first-person experience with every tool we cover. Most reviews and comparisons on this site are research-based, not hands-on. That distinction matters, and we are explicit about it on every article. Here is what that looks like in practice:

• Primary sources first. Pricing comes from the vendor pricing page on the date of last review. Feature claims come from the vendor documentation. Capability comparisons use the vendor changelog.
• Public benchmarks where they exist. When third-party benchmarks (bundle size, deploy time, cold-start latency) are available from credible sources, we cite them rather than inventing numbers.
• User reports as supporting evidence. Public threads on Indie Hackers, Hacker News, Reddit, and GitHub issues are useful for surfacing recurring strengths and pain points. We use them as secondary signals, not as primary claims.
• No fabricated experience. We do not write "I tested this and it broke" unless we tested it and it broke. The phrasing on this site is consistent with the actual research method.
• Last reviewed dates. Every page shows when it was last reviewed against current sources. SaaS pricing and features change quickly, and a comparison from 2024 is often wrong by 2026.

What you should expect from us

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click through and purchase, the site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The current affiliate relationships in place at the time of writing include Lovable, Beehiiv, ShipFast, and Vercel. Affiliate relationships do not influence which tool is recommended for which situation. When a non-affiliate tool is the better fit for a specific use case, that is the recommendation.

What this site is not

• Not a hands-on testing lab. We do not build production apps in every tool we cover. If you want benchmarks from someone who did, we will link to those benchmarks where they exist.
• Not a venture-funded media company. This is a small operation focused on doing one thing well: helping solo founders pick stacks faster.
• Not neutral. A research synthesis site is still allowed to have opinions, and ours are stated plainly. We will tell you which tool we would pick in a given situation, even if the answer is "not the popular one."
