Tell us what you actually pay for and how you use it. We surface the cheapest stack that still covers your usage - drop redundant subs, swap overpriced tiers for cheaper ones, keep what works. Tweak the right-rail sliders to bias toward your real workflow. Recommendations recompute live.
Drop Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot. Switch to free / open-source alternatives that cover the same workflow. 100% of current spend saved with no net feature loss at your usage tier.
Biggest shift: GUI -> CLI. If you live in Cursor's chat panel, this is a vibe change. If you already live in the terminal, aider feels native. Aider's killer feature is git-aware auto-commits - every edit lands as a real commit you can revert with `git reset`. Cursor's auto-edit can be slower to undo.
The interesting thing about this migration: you can keep using Claude - just point OpenHands at your existing Anthropic API key. The change is the AGENT ENVIRONMENT, not the model. OpenHands runs in a Docker sandbox with file/terminal/browser primitives. If you mostly used Claude Code for one-shot edits, aider is a lighter swap. OpenHands shines when you want autonomous multi-step tasks.
Closest functional swap: both are IDE extensions, both do tab autocomplete + chat. The biggest difference is the model. Copilot uses GitHub-curated models (default is a GPT-4 variant); Continue lets you pick. For pure autocomplete latency, Copilot still feels snappier on cloud - Continue with Codestral on Ollama is competitive locally. Most users save $10/mo by switching to Continue + Anthropic API.
