Cons
  • Company is new (public launch October 2025), so long-term support and roadmap track record is thin

  • Credit-based usage model means heavy builders can hit limits faster than a flat-rate tool
  • No pricing figures published
  • A managed backend is the deepest form of platform dependency
  • Agents able to alter a production schema need designed permissions
