Walking across the street is also risky.

This is more like walking across the street blindfolded for no good reason. You can run similar tools locally or hosted yourself or open source.

edit: Or even a paid alternative as those at least seem to have a business model.

If you don't value your time, sure.

in the case of Django Doctor - there is no direct alternative you can run locally. Nothing else does this:

- finds Django anti patterns. pretty sweet.

- suggests the fix in the PR. One click fix? yes pls.

- Check your entire codebase in seconds via https://django.doctor with no need to install or sign up for anything? hell yeah.

- has a fox as a mascot

For some odd reason the last point rubbed me the wrong way. It must remind me of some bland marketing / fans discussion.

not a fan of foxes, I see :)
