Why people consider alternatives to PulseDev

Teams most often switch away when one of these starts to bite:

Pricing at scale as usage or premium tiers add up.
Missing integrations with the rest of your stack.
Performance or scale limits as your needs grow.
A specific feature gap you have hit in ai coding.

The 4 direct alternatives below cover the same core job (AI coding) with different trade-offs. The 4 tools marked "Same category as PulseDev" fit the category but replace PulseDev less directly.
