Positives

The Swival Audit feature is impressively effective, even with smaller, open models, indicating that you don't always need the biggest tools for solid results.

Concerns

Subscriptions for tools like Claude Pro and ChatGPT Plus seem limiting for comprehensive repo scans, suggesting that the pricing models aren't aligned with deep analysis needs.
