I bought back in august 2023 and the product interfered with my workflow too much and even made code changes that could not be reverted. It was a clear no go.

In the meantime I tried Rubberduck, Codeium, Supermaven, Cody, Tabnine, Blackbox Al, CodeGPT, Github Copilot, Fitten Code and most recently Windsurf (formerly Codeium), Bolt and V0 (Vercel).

To be fair: All of the above are open source or offer free tiers and better integration to my workflow than codemate does.

I am not sure if the Codemate Team forgot or avoided to mention it: If you put your codebase or large files in context, it consumes already the biggest part of the tokens. They also avoid to mention how follow up questions count to the quota. They still, after being around for years, don’t integrate well into vscode or normal dev workflows and the weirdest thing: As a former buyer on AppSumo it appears they demoted my previous tier level since I now got a useless quoate (Tier 1 Plan back in 2023 had different deal terms which they don’t respect with no saying at all). I wanted to support the project and didnt refund and regret it - more for the buck than the product which I don’t miss.

To the Maker: This is harsh feedback. Would you have listened over the past 1.5 years as you do on the AppSumo comments, you would be in a much better shape. Do you even realize that you spend most time on arguing and explaining? If the majority of users is not satisfied you better listen AND ACT FAST since chances are its you being wrong.
