Reviewer scorecard
“At $500/mo it needs to replace at least 10 hours of developer time per month. In my testing, I spent more time reviewing and fixing its output than I saved. Not there yet.”
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“The marketing writes checks the product can't cash. 'Autonomous software engineer' implies reliability that doesn't exist. It's a talented intern that needs constant supervision.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“Devin is early but directionally correct. The autonomous agent approach will win eventually. Cognition has the best shot at getting there first. Invest in the future, not the present.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
