Claude Code

by Claude app

Anthropic's agentic coding tool: it reads a codebase, edits files across it, runs commands and works directly with git. It runs on four surfaces - a terminal CLI, VS Code and JetBrains extensions, a desktop app and the browser - all backed by the same engine, so CLAUDE.md instructions, settings and MCP servers carry across them unchanged. Billing works two ways: a Claude subscription (Pro at $20 a month, Max from $100), which includes Claude Code on every paid tier and shares that plan's usage limits, or an Anthropic API key metered at standard token rates. The detail most comparisons miss is that it is not confined to Anthropic's own surfaces - the extension installs into Cursor and other VS Code forks, and GitHub offers it as a third-party agent inside Copilot Pro.
