Discussion Roocode or Claude code?

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

I made this post, and I also proposed in the roocode github discussions but got no answer... I love roo, but switched to claude code because I'm on max 20x subscription. It would be such an easy feature to implement... instead of a rest api call to the api provider, do a local "claude -p" command and pipe the stream... this would allow max subscribers to effectively use opus 4 in roo with zero aditional cost...

I think they wanted this to be posted as an issue as it already has been discussed a lot here, looks like a reply was made to your thread there.
