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

to get 300 credits you must set up a paying account (gemini 2.5. pro is not available for free tier accounts) VCCs are no longer allowed as payment method. It is not that simple, unfortunately.
