Use-case fit
What job the tool is actually built for, and where it stops.
Fix execution depth
Whether it suggests, commits, or opens a verified pull request.
Validation method
What a proposed fix is checked against before it reaches you.
Pricing transparency
How billing scales, and the gotchas that show up at renewal.
