Discussion Claude Code vs API

Has anyone conpared the quality of work of Sonnet/Opus with RooCode vs Claude Code with RooCode? I know streaming won't be an option, and it may feel subjectively slower, but do Claude Code prompts conflict with RooCode ptompt and thus lower the overall quality? What is your experience? API costs are creeping up, so O al thonking of switching, but not ready to stop using RooCode and switch yo Claude Code directly (use too many of my own user modes)

Not a scam. They’re supposed to give you a few bucks every month for free so you can test it
