Customization How far it bends to your team: custom rules, prompts, style guides, per-path config. | ●●●●● Custom rules & profiles | ●●●●● YAML & UI configs |
Privacy Whether your code stays on your own infrastructure: fully local, self-hostable, or cloud API only. | ●●●●● Self-hostable | ●●●●● Cloud APIs w/ key |
Model freedom Whether you can point it at any provider, or it is wired to one. | ●●●●● Multiple providers | ●●●●● Multiple providers |
