Pros & Cons

Sway

  • Genuinely no loss of functionality despite the June 2026 desktop app retirement — full web access remains
  • Interactive, scrollable format differs from traditional static presentation slides
  • Integrated within the broader Microsoft 365 ecosystem
  • Windows desktop app was retired June 1, 2026, requiring transition to the web interface
  • Experienced a temporary service outage in March 2026, though this appears to have been transient
  • Web-only access now for former desktop app users specifically

Sourcery

  • Genuinely deep Python-specific refactoring analysis, more focused than general-purpose multi-language tools
  • Real-time IDE feedback in VS Code and PyCharm speeds up the refactoring workflow
  • Extends to JavaScript for PR review, providing some multi-language coverage beyond pure Python
  • Reported pricing varies across sources ($10-$18/developer/month for Pro) — verify current rates directly
  • Narrower Python focus means less value for teams working primarily in other languages
  • Team tier ($30/developer/month) required for unlimited security issue tracking
