Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Speakeasy
- No self-serve pricing is published; every plan requires a sales conversation.
- The product pivoted away from its original SDK-generation offering, so past documentation and customers built on that use case are no longer the focus.
- Requires integration with an existing identity provider such as Okta or Entra ID to be useful, so it is not a standalone solution.
- No published free tier or trial pricing was found.
Sublime Text
- A personal licence is $99 as a one off purchase but includes only 3 years of updates, after which a paid upgrade is required to keep receiving them
- Business use is a separate annual subscription rather than a perpetual licence, starting at $65 per seat per year
- The distinction means the same editor is perpetual for an individual and subscription for a company
