    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

    • Open-source under Apache 2.0 — no vendor lock-in or proprietary protocols
    • Genuinely supports JetBrains as a first-class citizen, not an afterthought
    • YAML config and Continue Hub make team-wide standardization trivial
    • Transparent pricing: $3/M tokens Starter, $20/seat/month Team — no hidden seat costs
    • Mix local and hosted models in one extension — cheap autocomplete, expensive chat
    • Strong on-prem story for regulated enterprises (BYOK, internal proxies, no telemetry)

    Cons

    • Less polished UX than closed-source competitors like Cursor or GitHub Copilot
    • Agent mode is younger than Cline's and has fewer guardrails
    • Hub assistants quality varies — vetting community configs takes effort
    • $3/M tokens Starter is competitive but not the cheapest if you BYO API keys directly
