Noise control How it keeps output volume down — severity thresholds, deduplication, incremental runs over new commits only. | ●●●●● Basic filters/config | ●●●●● Reviewable outputs |
Customization How far it bends to your team: custom rules, prompts, style guides, per-path config. | ●●●●● Workspace & skills config | ●●●●● Configurable agents |
Privacy Whether your code stays on your own infrastructure: fully local, self-hostable, or cloud API only. | ●●●●● Cloud with BYO-key | ●●●●● Self-hostable |
Model freedom Whether you can point it at any provider, or it is wired to one. | ●●●●● Bring-your-own model | ●●●●● Bring your key |
Setup ease What it takes to get a first useful run out of it. | ●●●●● Install app + config | ●●●●● One-click install |
