Earlier quoted context omitted.
Cline extension can use Grok, in fact I think it's free at the moment. I tried Claude Code and Cline for similar tasks and found Claude Code incredibly expensive but not better, so I've been sticking with Cline and switching between APIs depending on what model currently has the vest price/performance going on.
Claude Code with the Max plan is significantly cheaper for full-time use.
This isn't my experience at all.
