Agent tools / Coding

Claude Code

Terminal-based coding agent from Anthropic that works across your codebase.

Supervision needed

Medium Can run long tasks on its own, but you should review changes and limit which commands it may run without asking.

Where it tends to fail

Long sessions that lose track of the goal, and commands with side effects if permissions are too loose.

Pricing

Included with Claude Pro ($20/month, or $17/month billed annually) and Max (from $100/month); or pay per token through the API. Pricing page (Checked Oct 2026)
