Claude Code

Anthropic's coding agent. It reads your codebase, edits files, runs commands and works with git, from the terminal, IDE, desktop app or web.

Our verdict

Handles larger multi-file tasks well, but it needs a paid Claude plan or API usage and plan usage limits apply.

Use it for

  • Agentic coding
  • Bug fixing
  • Writing tests
  • Git commits and pull requests
  • Codebase questions

Other coding tools

  • Codex

    Easy to try since it comes with ChatGPT, including the free plan, but the free tier is meant for quick tasks and serious use needs a paid plan.

    FreemiumBest for chatGPT users who want a coding agent without a separate subscription

  • Cursor

    A capable agent-centric editor, but since joining SpaceX its cheapest paid plan is limited to Grok models, so check plan details if you want other models.

    FreemiumBest for developers who want an AI-first editor with agents built in

  • GitHub Copilot

    The easiest pick if your code lives on GitHub, but the free plan limits chat and agent use, and heavy agent work burns through credits.

    FreemiumBest for developers already working in GitHub and mainstream IDEs
