## Quick Decision Guide

**Question:** Can I use this tool with our enterprise codebase?

|------|-----------|---------------|
| **Continue.dev Solo** | $0 (fully functional) | Open source, air-gapped capable, NO training |
| **Claude Code Team/Enterprise** | $25-60/user/month | NO training, SOC 2 certified, ZDR option |
| **GitHub Copilot Business** | $19/user/month | Code NOT used for training, no retention |
| **GitHub Copilot Pro** | $10/user/month | Code NOT used for training by default |
| **Google Gemini Standard** | $19/user/month | NO training, 55-day abuse monitoring only |
| **JetBrains AI** (any tier) | Included with IDE license | NO training on customer code |

### Design Tools

## USE ONLY FOR NEW HACKATHON PROJECTS

These tools **may train on your data** or have **privacy concerns**. Use them only for projects created during the hackathon:

### Development Tools

| Tool | Issue | Alternative |
|------|-------|-------------|
| **Claude Code Free/Pro/Max** | Training opt-in available, may train if enabled | Use Team ($25) or Enterprise |
| **GitHub Copilot Free** | May use data for model improvement | Use Pro ($10) or Business ($19) |
| **Google Gemini Free** | Consumer privacy policy applies | Use Standard ($19) |
| **Google Antigravity** | Preview: no SOC 2, code may train, security limitations | Wait for GA or use Gemini Code Assist |

### Design Tools

| Tool | Issue | Alternative |
|------|-------|-------------|
| **Uizard Free/Pro** | TRAINS on your designs | Use Business ($39) or UX Pilot |
| **Lovable Free/Pro** | TRAINS unless you manually opt-out | Use Business ($50) or UX Pilot |
| **Galileo AI Free/Starter** | ALL OUTPUTS ARE PUBLIC | Use Pro ($39) minimum or UX Pilot |

### Testing Tools

| Tool | Issue | Alternative |
|------|-------|-------------|
| **Virtuoso QA** | TRAINS on data by default, opt-out requires contract negotiation | Use Testim or Applitools |

---

## GOLD STANDARD (Highest Security)

Best options if maximum privacy is required:

1. **Continue.dev** ($0) - Can run 100% offline with local LLMs (Ollama)
2. **Diffblue Cover** ($0-30/mo) - AI runs entirely on-premises
3. **BrowserStack** (~$299/mo) - Zero data retention (wiped after each test)

---

## RECOMMENDED HACKATHON STACK

### If Using Enterprise Code:

**Development:**
- Continue.dev Solo (free) OR GitHub Copilot Pro ($10/mo)

**Design:**
- UX Pilot Standard ($19/mo) - safest design tool

**Testing:**
- Diffblue Community (free) for Java unit tests
- BrowserStack (free trial) for browser testing

**Security:**
- Snyk Free for vulnerability scanning

### If Building New Projects Only:

Feel free to experiment with any tool - even the ones that train on data, since it will be new non-proprietary code created during the hackathon.

## Quick Reference Card

### SAFE (use with enterprise code)
```
Development: Continue.dev, Claude Code (Team/Enterprise), GitHub Copilot (Pro/Business), JetBrains AI
Design:      UX Pilot, Uizard Business+, Lovable Business+, Maze AI
Testing:     Diffblue, BrowserStack, Applitools, Testim, Equally AI
Security:    Snyk
```

### CAUTION (new projects only)
```
Development: Claude Code (Free/Pro/Max), GitHub Copilot Free, Google Gemini Free, Google Antigravity
Design:      Uizard Free/Pro, Lovable Free/Pro, Galileo AI Free/Starter
Testing:     Virtuoso QA (all tiers)
```

### AVOID ENTIRELY
```
Galileo AI Free/Starter - designs become PUBLIC (visible to everyone)
```
