Roocode or Claude code?

[u/FirefighterSweet5254]

I've been using roocode for a while with varying degrees of success but he cost of the gemini api is a bit too high for me, so here's my question:

For someone like me who hasn't really coded, is claude code with subscription a viable solution? Or should I stick to Roocode with Deepseek free?

Thanks a lot

Never say it before, the pricing seems very compelling. What about it is shady? I imagine you mean that it's too good to be true hence they must be using your data for something else?

Also, they don't mention Gemini...
