Micky and I rank the top vibe coding apps in 2025, from Cursor and Claude Code to Lovable, V0, Bolt, Windsurf, and emerging mobile-focused platforms. They break down which tools work best for technical developers versus non-technical builders, discuss the trust and ecosystem factors that matter when choosing a platform, and share hard-won lessons about the mindset shift required to build software with AI assistance.

Key Points

  • Community size and tutorial availability matter as much as technical capability when choosing a vibe coding platform

  • For technical developers, Cursor and Claude Code dominate; for non-technical builders, V0 offers the best balance of power and accessibility

  • Mobile vibe coding platforms (Rourke, Vibe Code App, Anything) represent a new wave of opportunity, especially for consumer apps monetizing through TikTok discovery

  • Non-technical builders need a mindset shift: building real software takes time, testing, and iteration—not five prompts

  • Betting on a platform means betting on the team and founder behind it; follow their vision to choose the right tool
