CodeMate reviews

While I don't have it fully integrated into my workflow, there is definitely stuff that could be done better. It definitely is not Mobile first in the UI department, and I am always asked who I am, my company and my role, ot doesn't get saved somehow. I really need to dig into the VS Code Extension though, as I guess this is the intended use. My first test was meh, though. Asked it to review my code and it said to change my variable name to something more meaningful, and it gave me the exact same name as a suggestion. That raised the eyebrows a little bit. I hope i didn't pay this money for nothing.

i try it - i try it with my api key - im gona refund it at all

Purchased the Tier 3 because it had the most potential for me.
Little did I know.

I'm currently using GitHib CoPilot, but thought to save some money and get more features.
Unfortunately, nothing works for me and support is no longer replying after the initial email with a list to try.

Feature like inline coding is coming i Q1 2025 they say, but have no roadmap to reveal.
The features Debug, Code Review and Optimize code gives me a blank screen.
So I payed 299 USD for a commenting tool

If I dont get this fixed with in the next week I will have to ask for a refund, which I really dont want as the feature list seems super great

Via the chat, things actually worked decently, got some unique yet functional sub routines that were very surprising, however, I must be a heavy user with big requests considering I went through my monthly tokens in a single day. FYI, I only went with tier 2 for now. So I almost have no choice but to upgrade just to get a bit more use. Their VS plugin is only for VS Code and will not work with VS Pro. Website has plenty of issues, such as trying to go to profile page, error received every time. Have I reached out to support? No. This is a blunt review of everything from out the gate. When in chat, and code is returned, the preview window opens but can't actually be closed. If you are working on small projects or need simple answers, then this should work great, but the limitations, bugs, and lack for other IDEs is very off-putting personally.

Hi,

The support is awesome. I really enjoyed talking to the creator and he showed me how to use codemate to get proper context to code. As someone just starting out, I think this is pretty helpful to be able to ask questions, have codemate give suggestions and access the web as well as Git Hub.
Thanks!

I really like the idea of Codemate, specifically:
• the ability to analyze an entire project
• the ability to assign tasks for refactoring and code generation
• the ability to finally cover the project with tests!

Previously, I used AskCodi, and I can say that it’s a wonderful tool, but it lacks the capability to understand the context of the ENTIRE project in its extension.

Codemate has this feature. This simplifies the development process and allows us to add unit tests directly to the project. As always, we don’t get full approval from clients for time spent on unit tests, as new features are very important for the product to develop and move forward. Therefore, very often the entire focus in development is on new functionality. Plus, new features always require rewriting unit tests. Even using ChatGPT here would be challenging because it needs to understand the whole project.

This product is an absolute solution to my headaches, as it allows us to build a system that aligns with the proper approaches described in classic books.

I thank the developers for bringing this project to the market. I wish the team success in developing the project further, as such solutions change our lives for the better, increase comfort, reduce stress, and make our lives happier and more mindful.

Regarding the limits, I’ll put it this way: I just took the maximum plan. Let’s see how long this limit will last. For me, it comes out to about a million tokens per user. I understand perfectly well that creating an application with unlimited coding is impossible. Even if I exceed the limit, the prices are more than reasonable for this offering. (I mean that additional tokens can be purchased for a reasonable price.)

Another important detail: Codemate works flawlessly; everything is great. I see practical value in it. Sure, you can find ways to get something from various GPTs for free somewhere, but for those who value their time and effort and are focused on results, this is an excellent solution in my opinion. I am incredibly happy to have a service that both I and my team will use.

And yes, a big thank you to the support team. You helped solve all my problems. Thank you so much!

The knowledge base functionality where I can connect multiple codebase and documentations and chat through it is pretty helpful. I do want to say that just the ability to locate files in thousands of line of code and explain what code does saves a lot of time for my team. Bought Tier 5 and my team is now able to collaborate with different codebases much easier. So 5 tacos for the concept and product capability.

Initial impression and basic functionality:

This tool makes a good first impression. Unfortunately, it seems that my account is still in "Free-Mode" because I tested the tool through my Google account before purchasing it.

Performance and reliability:

The tool works quite fast at first, when it does work. However, the speed decreases significantly from around line 50 of my code. Uploading more than 300 lines of code even crashes the tool.

In addition, the tool sometimes even identifies errors in code lines that I have even edited directly in the editor.

Communication with support:

I have already contacted support twice. After the first message, I received a response after a few days that the problem had been fixed.

However, I am still waiting for feedback on my second email, which was sent about a week ago.

Conclusion and possible steps:

If the tool does not work as desired by the weekend, I will probably request a refund.

Unfortunately, the freely available tools Blackbox and Codeium currently offer me better support.

However, I still hope that the problem can be solved and that I can change my rating after switching to the "PRO version" if the functions are then faster and more reliable.

Paid for the highest Tier (5).

Trying out teams. My First team member can not even sign in. There is a 500 Server Error that wont even let him sign in to test it.

I think this is pretty premature. When I logged in, I saw a broken image for my team, that is already a bad start.

Looking a the LinkedIn... your team size is pretty small for such an ambitious project. I will continue testing further this week.... I like to back the projects. I will change my review when as we move to testing it more.

I used the chat for about 10 minutes with no document input and it consumed 10800 credits. The answers are slow. I had a lot of trouble to make the tool work as I had many back and forte to get the tiers 3 access. The pricing is excessive. And what broke the camel back for me is that they state that they record all of our prompts and their output. So this excludes serious commercial use as we cannot share our proprietary code with everybody. I'm sure Appsumo will bring another similar deal with better conditions.

As stated in the title, I've tried emailing several times, but there's been no response regarding not receiving email verification or the login link. After spending over $500 on a Tier 4 package, I expected better.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to use CodeMate at all because of these issues. The lack of response and support has been frustrating, especially considering the investment made. I believe the product has potential based on its advertised features, but without proper access and support, I cannot provide a detailed review of its functionality.

I hope to see improvements in customer service to match the quality that CodeMate promises.

Thank you for your attention.

Can't speak for everyone else, but first impressions matter for me. I was initially excited about the purchase because I love supporting entrepreneurs and startups with potential. CodeMate didn't work within VSCode and kept opening in the web browser. Reached to support yesterday. Got a respond that they didn't understand. Oh.. thought that was straight forward. So, I recorded a video as response, still no response. I can't patronize those who do not value and understand the value of customer support and creating a good customer experience! So, refunded. Certainly left with a bad taste in my mouth. How unfortunate. Nonetheless, I wish them well. I'll stick with Git Copilot, something that I know WORKS and has support!
