Buyer's Guide

How to compare autonomous deployment tools.

Most tools in this space generate code. Fewer deploy it. Fewer still hand you ownership and a launch. Here's what to actually check.

Autonomous app tools are easy to demo and hard to compare. The marketing all sounds the same. These are the questions that separate a code generator from something that actually ships a product.

Does it deploy, or just generate?

Code on disk is not a product until it serves traffic. Check whether the tool deploys to real infrastructure automatically, or stops at files you have to ship yourself.

Who owns the output?

Ask where the repo lives and where the app deploys. With Moonshift it's your GitHub and your Vercel, you keep everything if you cancel. Many tools keep you inside their walls.

Does the run end at a launch?

The real finish line isn't a green build, it's a link you can send someone. Check for tests, a security gate, a custom domain, and drafted launch assets, not just generation.
