Pieces for Developers Pricing Overview

Saving and Retrieval: I really appreciate how simple it is to capture and save code snippets from anywhere, whether that's my IDE, browser, or even the clipboard. The search and tagging system is quite effective, allowing me to quickly locate specific pieces of code when I need them. The automatic context capture when saving a snippet is especially valuable—it records the language, source, and relevant tags, so retrieving code I wrote months ago is almost effortless. I no longer have to waste time digging through old projects or Gists to find what I need.

Workflow Integration: The tool fits smoothly into my daily workflow. I use the IDE extensions, particularly for VS Code, and the integration is seamless. I can access my saved snippets, add new ones, and even share them without ever leaving the editor, which really cuts down on unnecessary context switching.

AI/Enrichment: The AI-powered descriptions and tagging are genuinely useful. The feature automatically generates clear, human-readable descriptions for even the most cryptic snippets, so I can quickly determine if a piece of code is what I'm looking for without having to read through the entire block.

Collaboration/Sharing: The sharing capabilities are excellent. Being able to generate a shareable link or markdown snippet on the fly makes it much easier to collaborate with teammates or discuss code during reviews and pair programming sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My primary concern with the application is its performance and resource usage. On my main development machine, I’ve noticed that the desktop client can sometimes be demanding on system resources, which results in noticeable lag when switching between the Pieces application and my IDE, particularly right after startup. While I find the UI visually appealing, I think the organizational structure could be improved for handling larger code bases with hundreds of snippets. I would value having more detailed options for grouping or a more advanced filtering system to help manage extensive libraries of saved code more effectively.

I'm much more interested in centralized context management with Pieces for Developers. It does a pretty good job of context management, which is crucial for me given my role requires jumping from one customer call to another. I appreciate the way it automatically collects information from so many different sources. Centralized context management is key for me, and security of information in an enterprise work environment is also critical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like it to collect a lot more detail from the information sources I have and make it easier for me to collect information from sources. I would like to be able to bring my own consumer AI subscription to the app for context interrogation. I would like Markdown content to be able to be viewed easily in view mode as well as markdown code mode. And I would like tools in Pieces to make it easier to convert content from various sources, including emails, word docs, and PDFs directly to markdown format within Pieces, so that I can easily attach content from multiple sources for real context management. Also, setting up a custom domain for my cloud integration took way longer than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
