AI Tool Alternatives

Short answer

People switch AI tools for three reasons: the tool shut down (Tome, Sora), its plan changed (Sourcegraph Cody Free and Pro ended), or something cheaper or better fits their workflow (Cursor, GitHub Copilot). Each page below explains why people switch, what switching costs, and which replacement fits which need.

Before you switch

  • Export your work in an open format first.
  • Check whether a tool you already pay for covers the job.
  • Compare the plan you would actually buy, not the cheapest headline price.
