    Screenshot to Code - Pros & Cons

    Pros

    • Genuinely removes the tedious first 60% of markup from a design reference
    • Self-hostable with your own API keys if you already pay for Claude or GPT
    • Stack-agnostic across HTML/Tailwind, React, Vue, Svelte, Ionic and React Native
    • Live preview with natural-language edits beats the round-trip of generate-then-paste

    Cons

    • Output still needs accessibility, semantics and responsive review before shipping
    • Complex stateful components rarely come back ready — it's scaffolding, not a senior engineer
    • Hosted plan bills against model usage so heavy usage can outrun the subscription value

    Continue - Pros & Cons

    Pros

    • Supports chat, autocomplete, edits, and agents in VS Code and JetBrains
    • Works with hosted, self-hosted, and local model providers
    • Versioned assistants package models, rules, docs, prompts, and tools
    • Apache 2.0 licensing gives teams meaningful control over deployment

    Cons

    • Model and embedding configuration can be more work than a bundled assistant
    • Local models require capable hardware and careful quality testing
    • Team-tier prices and exact entitlements were not independently verified
    • A broad provider matrix can create inconsistent experiences across developers
