What are some alternatives to ReSharper

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

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 nbsp 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

Keep in mind that with Visual Studio 2010 you may not need want any addon  A lot of the ReSharper features were added into the Visual nbsp Studio nbsp 2010 core features  ReSharper  CodeRush  etc  have other features above and beyond Visual Studio for sure  but see what s been added vs  what you need  It could be that the core install takes care of what you are interested in now   I personally use ReSharper 5 still as it has many uses  for me  What each coder finds most important though varies widely  You ll have to test each for yourself  but luckily all the alternatives have trial periods as well

I think that CodeRush has a free  limited version  too  I ended up going with ReSharper  and I still recommend it  even though some of the functionality is in Visual nbsp Studio nbsp 2010  There are just some things that make it worth it    Keep in mind that you don t need the full ReSharper license if you only code in one language  I have the C  version  and it s cheaper
