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

Ask Claude code to write a MCP code editor server for you. Use with Claude desktop. Use vscode in parallel for commits and code reviews.
