Bottom Line
Catalog updated: August 2026
Continue and Avery.Software both sit in Coding, but they're built around different use cases within it. Continue runs on a fully free plan while Avery.Software runs on a freemium model, which alone may settle it if budget or a free tier is a hard requirement.
Choose Continue if…
Best for developers who want AI coding assistance in VS Code or JetBrains without being locked to one model provider, and its edge is fully provider-agnostic, connect Claude for complex refactoring and a fast model for everyday autocomplete in the same setup. Evaluate the available code separately from any hosted offer, and verify maintenance, compatibility, and provider requirements before relying on it. Lean toward Avery.Software instead if build Next.js web apps, Expo mobile apps, and AI agents in one desktop workspace, with editable source and restore points matters more for your use case.
