Where users complain and no one leads
No complaint theme was raised about 2 or more companies yet; 30 themes were raised about one company each and stay out — one company's complaint is about that company.
A theme enters when users raised it about 2 or more companies — one company’s complaint is about that company. The pairing is word overlap between the theme and what companies declare on their own pages, with the shared words shown; a theme with no match is unanswered in the declared names, not missing from every product. Nothing here is scored or ranked.

- Grok BuildFACTSep 28, 2026
xAI's published Grok API text model rates (docs.x.ai/developers/pricing, last updated September 7, 2026) show per-million-token pricing that varies by model and jumps to a long-context rate once a prompt crosses the 200K token threshold, billing all tokens in that request at the higher rate rather than just the excess.
Developers building on Grok Build/API face a cliff pricing structure that can sharply raise costs for long-context requests.

As of September 22, 2026, Base44 raised the integration-credit cost for any in-app agent or integration call running on Gemini 3.8 Flash to twice its previous rate; the model and its functionality are unchanged, and the increase follows a price rise from the model provider.
Builders using Gemini 3.8 Flash-powered agents/integrations will burn through integration credits twice as fast, raising effective cost for that usage path.

releasebot.io/updates/replit - CursorFACTSep 13, 2026 · 3 pricing entries on record
Cursor retired the flat Auto-mode rate ($1.25/M input, $6/M output tokens) on August 24, 2026; every Auto request now bills at the list price of whichever model Cursor Router selects, and Teams/Enterprise third-party model requests carry pricing tied to that model's own API rate.
Users relying on Auto mode for predictable, cost-efficient usage now face variable costs tied to whichever frontier or lightweight model is routed to their request.
www.nocode.mba/articles/cursor-pricing - LovableFACTSep 13, 2026 · 4 pricing entries on record
Lovable now runs on a single, unified credit balance: previously build, hosting, and AI-feature usage each had separate allowances, but now all three draw from the same credit pool, and paid plans start with 100 monthly plan credits with top-ups available.
This is a packaging change that removes prior usage-category separation, making it easier for live-app traffic to consume the same credits used for building, likely increasing real-world bills for active apps.
www.softr.io/blog/lovable-pricing - v0FACTSep 4, 2026 · 2 pricing entries on record
Vercel restructured v0 billing to meter usage on input/output tokens converted to credits instead of fixed message counts, with existing users transitioning automatically at their next billing cycle and new users starting on the new model immediately.
This changes cost predictability for heavy iterative users, who may see higher effective per-prompt costs versus the old message-count model.
vercel.com/blog/updated-v0-pricing - BoltCOMPANY CLAIMSep 4, 2026 · 2 pricing entries on record
Third-party pricing trackers report Bolt's structure as four tiers — Free (roughly 150K tokens/day, no card required), Pro (~$20–$25/month for ~10M tokens, with higher $50/$100/$200 sub-tiers for heavier usage), Teams (~$30 per member/month), and custom-priced Enterprise — with token-metered usage rather than flat per-project fees.
Establishes the baseline pricing/packaging structure buyers compare against other AI app builders like Replit and Lovable; exact headline Pro price varies by source ($20 vs $25) so should be confirmed directly on bolt.new.

What each week held
12 weeks, 8 companies read in both the first and the last week that was read. 9 weeks with nothing read at all, shown empty rather than as quiet.
The bar is observed claims in that week; the label over it is how many companies were read in it. A dashed marker is a week where nothing was read at all — not a quiet market. Inferences and failed reads are in neither.

A Hacker News-linked scan (SupaExplorer) found 11% of vibe-coded apps leak Supabase keys, and a separate scan by Symbioticsec of 1,072 vibe-coded apps found 98% had security flaws, with 39 sites having tables fully readable via the exposed anon key.
Reinforces the complaint theme's independent sighting count with additional, larger-scale quantified evidence, though these specific scans predate the last ledger entry and are cited here mainly as corroborating context rather than new material.

Supabase's CISO Bil Harmer responded to the new research by stating the company's projects are "secure by default" and that it provides secure defaults and tooling while customers control their own project configuration.
First on-record vendor pushback captured in this cycle, positioning Supabase's stance as responsibility-shifting to developers/AI tools rather than the platform itself, consistent with Lovable's earlier CVE dispute.

A separate, newly disclosed flaw in Lovable exposed users' source code, database credentials, AI chat histories, and customer data, on top of the previously known RLS/hardcoded-secret issues.
Adds a new vulnerability class (source code/chat-history/credential exposure) to Lovable's track record beyond the earlier CVE-2025-48757 RLS issue, deepening the pattern of platform-level security gaps.

Paid Grok plans now share one weekly usage pool across Grok products such as Chat, Imagine, Voice and Build, instead of separate daily limits per product, and the older per-two-hour prompt caps were retired in June 2026.
Build usage now competes for quota with other Grok surfaces (chat, image, voice) under one subscription, changing effective capacity for heavy coding users.
