Buyer fit
Fits engineering teams whose coding-agent spend is driven by defaulting to the most expensive model. Routing gains depend on your workload, so test on your own tasks before relying on vendor figures.
Market outlook
Narrow, technically focused vendor. Routing is being added to gateways and coding tools, which may compress the standalone market.
What to check
- Predicts which model to use for each input rather than applying static rules.
- Repositioned around coding agents in 2026.
- Vendor-published savings figures are not independently verified; benchmark on your own work.
