Reviewers praise Dyad’s freedom and control: it runs locally, avoids lock‑in, and lets you choose any AI model, including free options. Many say it outclasses paid rivals like Bolt, v0, Replit, and Lovable, citing transparent, developer-first workflows and only paying for usage. Users note fast progress, weekly updates, GitHub integration, React/Next.js support, and new mobile capabilities. While some mention early-stage bugs and polish gaps, regular users still rely on it daily and expect rapid improvement, calling it a powerful, open-source tool that keeps getting better.
