Bolt.new
- +Full dev environment runs in the browser via WebContainers, with the AI controlling filesystem, terminal, and server
- +Generates true full-stack apps (not just UI) and can deploy via Bolt Cloud
- +No local setup; fast for prototyping and iterating by chatting
- -Token-based usage cost can rise quickly on complex or long-running builds
- -Output needs human review and iteration; it is not a hands-off autonomous engineer
Sourcegraph Cody
- +Grounded in Sourcegraph's code graph for whole-codebase context
- +Strong fit for orgs already using Sourcegraph code search
- +Enterprise security and self-hosted options
- -Free and Pro tiers were discontinued in 2025; now enterprise-only
- -Individual/agentic developer use was pushed to a separate product (Amp)
