Ahead on: - Reliability, 51 against 45 - Schema & documentation, 81 against 30 - Agent ergonomics, 80 against 5 - Security & auth, 55 against 36 - Payments & pricing, 35 against 30 - Maintenance & community, 72 against 58 - Transparency & trust, 65 against 58 Watch for: No local sandbox is documented, and `auto` mode approves read-only tools on any path ### Unstoppable (F) Good for: A developer who runs Claude Code, Codex and Cursor on existing plans and wants parallel worktrees, pipelines and phone check-ins in one app. Also in its favour: - No key needed to call it - Free to start without a card - No incidents deducted, where Qoder CLI loses 3 points for them Watch for: No API, MCP server, SDK or documented CLI for an outside agent. A Linux command-line tool and MCP tools for cloud tasks appear only in changelog lines ## Score by category | Category | Weight | Qoder CLI | Unstoppable | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 51 | 45 | Qoder CLI +6 | | Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Schema & documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 81 | 30 | Qoder CLI +51 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 80 | 5 | Qoder CLI +75 | | Security & auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 55 | 36 | Qoder CLI +19 | | Payments & pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 35 | 30 | Qoder CLI +5 | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 72 | 58 | Qoder CLI +14 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 65 | 58 | Qoder CLI +7 | | Negative events | ≤15 | -3 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **59.4 · C** | **34.9 · F** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | Qoder CLI | Unstoppable | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Agent harness | Agent harness | | Vendor | Qoder (BRIGHT ZENITH PRIVATE LIMITED) | Unstoppable Domains, Inc. | | Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) | | Transports | | | | Auth | OAuth or key | None | | Pricing | Freemium | Freemium | | x402 | no | no | | Licence | Proprietary, under the Qoder Terms of Service (BRIGHT ZENITH PRIVATE LIMITED, last updated 29 April 2026).

Permission rules and modes are detailed, but no local sandbox is documented, usage statistics are on by default, and security fixes appear only as one-line release notes with no advisories or disclosure policy. **Unstoppable.** Unstoppable runs several coding agents side by side in separate worktrees on the owner's Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor plans, with dated help articles and a public changelog. It has no API, MCP server or documented command an outside agent can call, every chat starts in Full access, and its pages disagree on which parts need a paid plan. ## Before you call either ### Qoder CLI 1. Set `QODER_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN` in CI. The browser sign-in can't complete in a headless run 2. Pass `--permission-mode` with `--allowed-tools` in headless runs. Every ask is denied, and `--yolo` removes all checks 3. Set `--max-turns` on unattended runs, and branch on exit codes 41 (authentication) and 53 (turn limit) 4. Set `privacy.usageStatisticsEnabled` and `aiCodeStatistics.enabled` to false in ~/.qoder/settings.json if usage data must stay local 5. Don't pass `--model lite`. The Lite tier was removed on 18 September 2026 and headless requests naming it fail ### Unstoppable 1. Don't plan to drive Unstoppable from another agent. It has no documented API, MCP server or CLI. Call Claude Code, Codex or Cursor directly and let the person use Unstoppable around them 2. Inside Unstoppable, check the approval mode before acting. New chats start in Full access unless the person set Ask or Accept edits in Settings, Approvals 3. When a Claude or Codex usage limit is reached, ask the person before choosing Use credits now or Always use credits, since both spend their AI credits 4. Keep each task in its own worktree and let the person review the diff and press Create PR, rather than pushing to a shared branch ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Qoder CLI or Unstoppable?
