How to choose

Which IDEs does it support?

Choose a tool that supports the editor you already use. IDE support is one of the board's comparison points, so check the details before deciding.

Can I try it for free, and what does it cost?

Check whether the tool has a free plan, a free trial, or a paid starting price. A free plan and a time-limited trial are different offers.

Which coding tasks and languages does it cover?

Compare generation modes and supported languages with the work you need to do. The board lists both so you can check a tool against your intended use.

Will it run on my devices and meet my team's needs?

Check the listed platform support for your devices, and review enterprise controls if you are choosing for a team. A public API mark can help identify tools that publish an API.
