Question

I’m considering purchasing a ReSharper license, but are there any possible alternatives to ReSharper and how would you rate these compared to ReSharper?

It doesn’t necessarily have to be a free alternative, but I would just like to know how good equivalent products are.

Answer 1

The main alternative is:

• CodeRush, by DevExpress. Most consider either this or ReSharper the way to go. You cannot go wrong with either. Both have their fans, both are powerful, and both have talented teams constantly improving them. We have all benefited from the competition between these two. I won’t repeat the many good discussions/comparisons about them that can be found on Stack Overflow and elsewhere.

Another alternative worth checking out:

• JustCode, by Telerik. This is new, still with kinks, but initial reports are positive. An advantage could be licensing with other Telerik products and integration with them. There are bundled licenses available that could make things cheaper / easier to handle.
