Lambda Bench
Compare competing SaaS tools side-by-side and get AI-tuned implementation instructions for your chosen stack.
When selecting options for building a webapp or other coding project, you usually encounter a list of options, each with various tradeoffs. Comparisons vs competitors are usually coming directly from one of the option's websites – a very biased source! Or, you may find reviews on g2 or reddit, but few of these are from people who have actually tried out options against each other directly.
Lambda Bench solves this by implementing side-by-side comparisons of common integrations. We do this with heavy use of AI, both because it makes this project remotely feasible, but also because it means we can then share LLM instructions that work with you, so you can reproduce what's already shown to work.
We provide an MCP server you can connect to Cursor or Claude Code to get deeper instructions on how to implement a wide range of common software components. This significantly improves correctness and reduces annoying debugging loops when you need an integration that goes beyond the kind of general knowledge that LLM's have out of the box – you can think of it as giving the AI good examples and documentation on the specific piece of software it's trying to implement.
For now, we are focusing on supporting the T3 stack. If you have not picked a tech stack yet, this is one we recommend, for the following reasons:
- Typescript end-to-end, including tRPC, makes for robust type safety and type-checking. Strict types substantially improve LLM coding accuracy and prevent costly API-vs-Client mismatches in expectations.
- Broad support for both frontend and backend
- People who have built on this stack (including myself) tend to really like it!
While this effort is new, I'm providing it free of charge – but in lieu of paying, please send me any feedback or requests for comparisons at mark@lambdabench.com
