Claude Code, Anthropic's terminal-based AI agent that can write, debug, and deploy code autonomously, has captured the imagination of software developers worldwide. But its pricing - ranging from $20 to $200 per month depending on usage - has sparked a growing rebellion among the very programmers it aims to serve. Now, a free alternative is gaining traction.
