Agent-hostile

2.8 /5 composite score

Transparent, low-cost tiered pricing (free 5-project tier through $150/mo unlimited) and a self-serve, no-IT-required signup make it an easy fit for small remodelers/builders, but it is GUI-only with no API/CLI and no confirmed third-party integrations (e.g. accounting software).
