Given how quickly things evolve, it’s easy to get lost in the numerous offerings and hard to get the best deal. So, what do you use? Both clients/harnesses and LLM providers or local setups would be interesting.
Personally, I’ve been using opencode with Github copilot for work. I’m currently looking for cost-effective provider for personal work. Maybe openrouter with one of the cheap models?


At work Cursor with Sonnet or Composer and very very few times Opus.
At home I can’t afford any of that so I use opencode and try to use super cheap models in openrouter and very few times to save money, I just delegate simple straightforward, tedious tasks to gemini flash or deepseek
