Full-stack app builders / rank 14 of 20 / cycle 04

Rocket.new benchmark

Comfortable with the first four prompts and visibly out of depth after that. Webhook signing was absent in every run and the job queue in prompt 6 was a cron style loop with no idempotency, which the replay test caught immediately.

62.12

of 100 | withheld vs. cycle 03

Delta not shown for cycle 04: the roster was re-based from one merged ranking into two class boards, so cycle 03 and cycle 04 ranks are not on the same scale. Resumes cycle 05.

Pricing

Credit based with a small free allowance. Paid plans from USD 25 per month.

Pricing note

Rocket describes each tier as a monthly platform fee quoted with a bare dollar sign, and states no currency anywhere on its pricing page. USD is this lab's reading, not a vendor statement, and the euro figure follows from it.

Entry price
USD 25 / month
Value subscore
66.0
Index points per euro
2.91

Entry price is the vendor's own published figure, fetched 21 Aug 2026, never a currency conversion. The currency label is the vendor's own except where the pricing note above records that this lab inferred it. Index points per euro is computed from a separate, euro-normalised figure used only for the Value axis: Converted at the European Central Bank euro reference rate of 1.1699 US dollars to the euro, August 21, 2026.

Reader index

Voted by readers with an account, one score per person per axis. Published beside the lab index, never inside it.

Reader index

not rated yet

Lab index

62.12

1 readers have scored 100% of the index weight so far. A reader index is published at 3 voters and 50% coverage.

Seeded at launch

The reader scores, lab notes and open ratings published here were written by this lab in August 2026 to populate the reader column before the site had readers. They are not customer submissions, they are not vendor supplied and nobody was paid for them. Anything submitted since then comes from a registered account. The lab index is measured from logged runs and is unaffected either way.

The reader index is a weighted mean of reader submitted axis scores using the published index weights, renormalised over the axes readers have scored. It is never blended into the lab index. How this works.

What agent performance looked like in practice

Comfortable with the first four prompts and visibly out of depth after that. Webhook signing was absent in every run and the job queue in prompt 6 was a cron style loop with no idempotency, which the replay test caught immediately.

Across 45 recorded executions this product met the published pass criterion cleanly 27 times, partially 7 times and failed 11 times. The rows above carry the reviewer note for every non clean outcome, which is the only way to tell a product that fails loudly from one that fails quietly.
