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.”
“One command to expose localhost. Essential for webhook development and quick demos. The inspection UI is useful.”
“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.”
“Simple tool that solves a real problem. The free tier is enough for development. Cloudflare Tunnel is the free alternative.”
“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.”
“Cloudflare Tunnel provides similar functionality for free. ngrok's paid features need to differentiate more.”
