When to choose what
Choose Cofounder if
- •You want maximum extensibility through MCP, custom APIs, and custom codebase integration.
- •You're a developer founder comfortable with token plus compute usage pricing on top of a base subscription.
- •You want a single open canvas rather than a structured Define → Validate → Build → Grow phase progression.
- •You don't need brand-grounded campaign assets generated inside the platform.

- You want the Marketing Studio producing real campaign assets across ten formats (banners, social carousels, app store screenshots, device showcases, short videos, and more) grounded in your brand.
- You want a managed product, not an orchestration layer you wire up yourself.
