What is Code Arena?

Pit AI coding models against each other and build apps from the winner.

Who is Code Arena best for?

Code Arena is best for developers who want to compare coding models on the same app prompt before picking one.

  • Choosing a coding model

    Battle mode builds your prompt with two anonymous models and names them only after you vote, so brand does not sway the pick.

  • Quick app prototypes

    Describe a site or app, watch two models build it side by side, then keep chatting with the version you prefer.

  • Fullstack side projects

    Fullstack mode adds a PostgreSQL database, user sign-in, third-party API keys and deployment to Vercel.

  • Trying models before launch

    AI labs test unreleased models in Battle mode under codenames, so you can try them before they ship anywhere else.

Code Arena is free to use with no paid plans: Arena's terms say the service is currently offered free of charge, and the company earns its money selling model evaluations to AI labs and businesses.
