I have been using GitHub Copilot and other VS Code agent extensions like Cline. Common gaps across these vendors I identified: Planning rarely includes clear acceptance checks, edge-case lists, or traceability from plan items to commits/tests.

I think Verdent provides good planning, where prompts can be structured and I can review, accept, or adjust this plan before any code changes are made.

The only thing I do not like about Verdent does not offer a free plan. It's worth it as a paid tool but it would be great to have free credits to get started. For example, you can use the Cline or Copilot free version or you can bring your own model.

Thansk for the comment. Planning and verifiability is crucial for any serious coding task. Through our early access program we have been providing free credits and we have used that insight to structure the pricing plan. ATM we are not offering free plan as we are focusing all of our efforts to create the best possible experience for engineers.

Thanks for explaining this! I just think of a new developer experience that wants to try out Verdent and pay after. I usually do not pay for a tool that I have not tried and see what it does. Showcasing content or demos is not enough. Take the example of Lovable, they offer 5 credits to send few prompts and if you want to continue, you need to pay.

		Thanks for the suggestion, we will take it into account while we are figuring out the next steps.
