Still maintained
4 of the products below no longer exist, and 7 are alive under a different name or address. We track this because we maintain 301 tools across the catalog, and our link checker finds a product going dark long before anyone notices by hand. Most comparison sites never re-check — which is why so many still recommend Tome, or call Devin Desktop "Windsurf".

Cognition rebranded Windsurf to Devin Desktop and delivered it as an over-the-air update, keeping accounts, plans, extensions and keybindings. It is more than a rename: the default surface became an agent command centre, and the legacy Cascade agent was retired in favour of Devin Local.
How we know windsurf.com redirects to devin.ai/desktop. Most comparison articles still use the old name. check it yourself ↗

The VS Code extension's repository was archived on GitHub with 24,000 stars. The team's effort moved to Roomote, a hosted cloud coding agent, which is a different product.
How we know The GitHub API reports the repository as archived, and roocode.com redirects to roomote.dev. check it yourself ↗
Use instead: Cline
The project is alive and actively developed, but no longer controls invoke.com. The domain now serves a broker listing it for sale, which means any older link or citation pointing there sends readers to a sales page rather than the software.
How we know invoke.com and www.invoke.com both return a page titled "Invoke.com is for sale". The project itself continues on GitHub. check it yourself ↗

Reported as acquired by Meta in July 2025, with the team moving into its Superintelligence Labs division. The platform stopped taking new users in August 2025 and was terminated on 31 December 2025.
How we know play.ht no longer resolves in DNS at all — not a 404, no address. That is consistent with a domain that has been retired rather than a site that is merely down. check it yourself ↗
Use instead: ElevenLabs
Sunset its AI presentation product, saying it had not found a sustainable path for consumer AI slides. The team pivoted to sales software under the name Lightfield; the Tome brand was later acquired by AngelList. Users who did not export their decks before the sunset lost them.
How we know tome.app returns 404 on every path, including /blog. Checked with a browser, not just a script. check it yourself ↗

Found something we have wrong, or a product that has gone quiet? Tell us — corrections are the most useful thing we receive.
A comparison page is only worth reading if it is true today. Ours carry the date they were verified, and checking those links is what produces this page. It costs us nothing extra and it is the part most sites skip — a recommendation for software that shut down last year is worse than no recommendation at all.
