Frequently asked
The short answers. For scoring detail see the rubric, for money questions see the refund policy.
general
What is VibeDev?
A competitive vibecoding platform. You enter timed challenges, build and deploy a real product against a public brief, and an AI judge scores your work against a published rubric.
Do I submit code, or a working product?
Every submission is a real, working build from your public repository. A live deployed URL is optional; scoring reads your code, not a screenshot.
What language is the platform in?
English.
competing
How do I enter a challenge?
Join a lobby for your tier using coins. When the lobby fills or its timer starts, the build window opens.
Which challenges can I join?
Your own tier and the tiers below it. Higher tiers unlock as you progress.
What if a lobby does not fill, or I leave?
If you leave before it starts, or the lobby is cancelled or expires, your coins are returned to your balance.
Can I edit my submission before the deadline?
Yes, until the build window closes. After that your latest verified commit is locked and scored.
scoring
How is my work scored?
One AI judge scores three categories, each from 0 to 100. Your final score is the average of the three.
Will I see why I got my score?
Yes. After the reveal, your per-category scores and the judge's written reasoning are published.
How are ties broken?
In order: the strongest single category, then the earliest verified commit. Never by chance.
Can the rubric change during a challenge?
No. The rubric is published before submissions open and does not change for that challenge.
coins and payments
What are coins?
Prepaid credits used to enter challenges. One coin is Rp 50,000.
How much does an entry cost?
It depends on the tier: Rookie 1 coin, Veteran 5, Elite 25, Legend 125.
How do I buy coins?
Through the in-app coin shop with QRIS. Coins are credited once your payment is confirmed.
I paid but did not get my coins.
Payments are confirmed by the payment provider and usually credit within a minute. If coins do not appear, see the Refund Policy or contact Support.
prizes and withdrawals
How do prizes work?
Winning placements earn rewards based on the published challenge format. Trophies track your standing across challenges.
How do I withdraw my winnings?
Verify your contact email and complete identity verification (KYC), then request a withdrawal to your bank account.
Are there fees or a minimum on withdrawals?
Yes. A minimum amount and a processing fee apply; the exact figures are shown before you confirm.
