For everyone complaining about the cost: Try Aider instead. You can easily limit the context and keep costs down.

A coworker tried both and found Code to be 4x the cost because it doesn't easily let you limit the context.




That's my experience as well. Claude Code/Cline — these tools are just a way to burn money. With Aider, my spending is minimal and I get exactly what I need.
