Not yet hands-on tested — research summary

Answer

Product and research notes for Vibe Stack Lab. The first entry is the research launch. No hands-on test has been logged.

2026-10-15 — Research launch

Published research summaries for Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Lovable, and v0, plus Cursor vs Claude Code, Lovable vs v0, and a Next.js best-of list. Every page is marked not yet hands-on tested. Prices link to official sources checked on this date. No newsletter issue was sent.

Vendor notes recorded while checking sources, not as lab results:

  • OpenAI's Codex pricing page says GPT-5.5 retires from Codex with ChatGPT sign-in on 14 October 2026 at noon PDT. API-key sessions are excluded from that notice.
  • v0's docs say the Premium plan at $20 a month is being sunset and is closed to new users.
  • Lovable's credits docs describe a temporary chat-pricing offer through 31 October 2026. Build, plan, media generation, Cloud, and AI usage are outside that offer.
  • Cursor for new customers is The X Subscription. Older Pro and Teams prices remain only as legacy plans.

Those four notes are why several older summaries on the web will not match these pages.
