|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Software developers | $20/mo | Free tier has limited model selection (no GPT or Claude) | 67/100 |
 | Product Managers | Free | Token consumption is aggressive; users report burning millions of tokens fixing simple errors and hitting limits on small projects | 55/100 |
 | Software engineers | Free | VS Code lock-in; not available for JetBrains IDE users | 63/100 |
 | Founders | $25/mo | Credit depletion is the top user complaint; users get charged for the AI's own mistakes | 73/100 |
 | Software Developers | $20/mo | Surprise and unclear usage limits, especially for heavy users on the $200/mo Max plan | 66/100 |
 | Software Developers | Free | AWS will discontinue support for Amazon Q Developer IDE plugins on April 30, 2027 | 68/100 |
 | Software Engineers | $20/mo | Usage billed in ACUs which can add up beyond the base price | 63/100 |
A | Software Developers | Free | No graphical interface; runs purely in the terminal, which some find limiting | 68/100 |
 | Software Developers | Free | Very token-consuming; heavy sessions can run $10-20/day in API credits and surprise bills have been reported | 65/100 |
 | Software Developers | Free | Extension/plugin ecosystem is far smaller than VS Code (~800 extensions vs. VS Code's 50,000) | 53/100 |
 | Designers | Free | Unpredictable and often high costs tied to credit/effort-based pricing, especially for agent usage | 60/100 |
 | Enterprise developers | Free | Suggestions can be too generic for complex or project-specific code and often need manual cleanup | 69/100 |
 | Enterprise Engineering Teams | Free | Suggestions can be inconsistent, inaccurate, or too generic for complex or highly project-specific code | 50/100 |
| Developers | Free | Limited to the Next.js/React ecosystem, unusable with Vue, Angular, or Svelte | 60/100 | |
 | Developers | Free | No real-time inline autocomplete like GitHub Copilot, which developers accustomed to that workflow miss | 39/100 |
 | Engineering Teams | Custom | Unpredictable and potentially high costs from usage/credit-based pricing (users report $300–$600/month vs advertised estimates) | 60/100 |
 | Individual developers | $0 | Can suggest outdated, suboptimal, or incorrect code that needs adjusting to project style | 70/100 |
 | Developers | Free (preview) | Users hit premium usage limits mid-month, after which access is cut off until the end of the month | 63/100 |
 | Developers | Free | High CPU usage and performance issues | 62/100 |
 | Product Managers | Free | Usage-based credits burn fast, causing bill shock and unpredictable costs | 67/100 |
 | Software Engineers | Unknown | Not enough reviews yet | 64/100 |
 | Engineering teams | Free Trial | Overly nitpicky and noisy, flagging trivial or stylistic issues as major | 61/100 |
| Developers | Unknown | Still an early-stage, free-in-beta research preview — expect bugs and rapid, significant changes rather than a mature, committable platform | 35/100 | |
 | Enterprise engineering teams | $20/mo | Reviewers report the generated code often isn't very good and doesn't follow best practices, needing significant manual cleanup (e.g. dumping a Python backend into a single settings file) | 38/100 |
| Non-technical founders | Freemium | Not enough reviews yet | 60/100 | |
 | Web Agencies | Freemium | Widget creation currently only produces V3 widgets and falls back to standard containers when a V4 widget is requested | 65/100 |
 | Solo developers | $10/month | 7-day data retention limit | 66/100 |
 | Individual Developers | Freemium | Slow to complete tasks (minutes, partly due to VM spin-up and planning) compared to interactive coding tools | 59/100 |
 | Software Developers | Free | This repository is no longer actively maintained | 60/100 |
K | Developers | Paid | Credit-based pricing is aggressive; free tier only allows a few feature builds per month | 60/100 |
