  "what": "An MIT-licensed agent for VS Code, JetBrains, CLI and cloud that merged the best ideas from Cline and Roo Code. It offers 500+ models through its own gateway at provider rates with zero markup, an Auto Model router that picks by task and budget, and a free model tier that needs no card.",
  "why": "The pragmatic superset: Roo Code's modes plus Cline's approval discipline, still actively maintained, with genuinely zero-markup inference. The free routing tier is the easiest way to try agentic coding without entering payment details.",
  "warn": "Cloud compute is billed separately by the hour (roughly $0.33 to $1.20), so cloud agents and automated code review add cost on top of inference.",
