Everyone else bets on one tool. We run them all.
Cursor steers you onto its house model. Claude Code and Codex lock you to one lab. The Vibe Father is the neutral command deck that orchestrates the AI coding agents you already use — model-agnostic, bring-your-own-key, one flat price.

Feature comparison, not a benchmark, as of July 2026 — this space moves fast. The open-source tools (Aider, Cline, Continue, Goose, OpenHands, Roo Code) are free; the rows compare capability, not price. Spot something off? Tell us and we'll fix it.
Why it matters
Three things only the deck gives you
Every model, one lane
See how Claude, GPT, Gemini and Kimi score on independent coding benchmarks, then route each task to whichever fits — no re-tooling, no lock-in.
A team, not a chatbot
Vibe, the built-in coordinator, plans the work and delegates it across a crew of agent CLIs with real roles — reviewer, builder, researcher.
