Quick Decision Guide

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


SAFE FOR ENTERPRISE CODEBASE

These tools do not train on your code and can be used with proprietary/enterprise projects:

Development Tools

Tool Free Tier Why It's Safe
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

Tool Safe Tier Why It's Safe
UX Pilot (any paid tier) $19-29/month Does NOT train on designs at any tier
Uizard Business/Enterprise $39+/month Business tier: NO training
Lovable Business/Enterprise $50+/month Business tier: opt-out by default
Maze AI Free or paid Uses OpenAI/Anthropic APIs (no training)

Testing Tools

Tool Free Tier Why It's Safe
Diffblue Cover FREE (25 methods/mo) On-premises AI, code never leaves your machine
BrowserStack Free trial Immediate data wipeout after every test
Applitools 14-day trial NO training on screenshots
Testim Community plan NO training on customer data
Equally AI 7-day trial GDPR compliant, no PII collected

Security Tools

Tool Free Tier Why It's Safe
Aikido Free for students/OSS SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, NO code storage after scan
Snyk Free tier available Only trains on open source, never customer code

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)

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.

Key Takeaways for Hackathon

  1. FREE + SAFE for enterprise code: Continue.dev Solo, Diffblue Community, Snyk Free
  2. Best design tool: UX Pilot (no training on any tier)
  3. Claude Code: Safe with Team/Enterprise plans; Free/Pro/Max can train if opted-in
  4. Google Antigravity: NOT recommended for enterprise code (Public Preview, no compliance certs)
  5. Avoid Galileo AI free/starter: Your designs become public
  6. Avoid Virtuoso QA: Trains on your data by default
  7. When in doubt: Use Continue.dev - it's free, open source, and can work completely offline
