How to compare Claude Code, Codex and Cursor on one project with Bettercode

Run several coding agents side by side on the same project to see which one fits a task best.

Who it is forA developer or team lead who has access to more than one coding agent and needs to choose one for a repeated task.

The problemSwitching between separate agent apps makes it hard to compare answers to the same request on the same code.

The outcomeYou keep several agent conversations visible in one workspace and judge their results against the same project files.

What you need first

  • A 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 PC, an Apple Silicon or Intel Mac, or an x64 Linux machine
  • An account with at least one supported AI provider, connected in Settings → Providers
  • A local project folder you can open in the app
  • Willingness to run an unsigned beta build and save work often

Steps

  1. Install the beta from the GitHub Releases page and open BetterC0de.
  2. Connect each provider you want to test in Settings → Providers.
  3. Open your project folder and start one conversation per agent with the same task text.
  4. Arrange the panes in Agent mode so the conversations sit next to each other.
  5. Compare the proposed changes in the Diff view and keep the result you prefer.

Prompt for your agent

Using the BetterC0de repo's side-by-side conversations, give the same task text to Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and Cursor Agent for the project at <project-path>. Produce a short table of each agent's proposed file changes and one note per agent. Verify that each agent was connected and that every table row names a real file in <project-path>.

Caveat. Provider access, usage limits and billing depend on each provider you connect, so running several agents may use several accounts.
