Which one can use GPT or Gemini?

Claude Code is locked to Anthropic models, with no GPT or Gemini support out of the box. The fact sheet does not list which models Oxlo.ai routes to, so we cannot compare model coverage.

What does each one cost?

Claude Code's verified plans, read 2026-08-24, are Free $0; Pro $17/month with an annual subscription discount, or $20 if billed monthly; Max (5x or 20x) from $100/month. Oxlo.ai's pricing model, starting price, and verified plans are not recorded, so we cannot compare the two on cost.

Do either of them have IDE integrations?

Claude Code lists vscode-ext and jetbrains-plugin platforms, along with web, mac, win, linux, and cli. Oxlo.ai has no documented native IDE extensions because it runs entirely in the browser.

Which one has public documentation or a public repo?

Neither tool lists a public repo, and neither lists docs in the fact sheet, so there is nothing to compare there.

Claude Code vs Oxlo.ai: How They Actually Differ

Claude Code fits developers who want a terminal-based agent with first-class Claude support, native MCP as client and server, and a known price list starting at $0. Oxlo.ai fits builders who want a browser-based agent that routes work across multiple models to lower cost per task, though its pricing is not recorded.

Compiled 2026-10-24 from our catalogue entries for Claude Code and Oxlo.ai.

The short answer

Pick Claude Code if: You work in the terminal and want an agent that edits files, executes commands, and ships pull requests. It also suits teams that need first-class Claude Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku support, native MCP as both client and server, and skills, hooks, and slash commands for custom workflows. A Free $0 plan lets you start without paying.
Pick Oxlo.ai if: You want to work in the browser and route coding workloads across multiple models to reduce cost per task rather than being pinned to a single provider. Note that it has no documented native IDE extensions, so it is a weaker fit if your team's workflow lives in an editor.
Cheapest way in: Claude Code has a Free $0 plan. Its verified plans, read 2026-08-24, are Free $0; Pro $17/month with an annual subscription discount, or $20 if billed monthly; Max (5x or 20x) from $100/month. Oxlo.ai's pricing model, starting price, and verified plans are not recorded, so we cannot compare cost of entry.
What we could not compare: Oxlo.ai's platforms, pricing model, starting price, and verified plans are not recorded, and the fact sheet does not say which specific models it routes to. For both tools, no public repo and no docs are listed, so we cannot compare documentation depth, repository activity, or install requirements beyond the listed platforms.

Both sit in the AI coding agents category, but they take different routes. Claude Code is Anthropic's official command-line agent for Claude: it runs in the terminal, edits files, executes commands, and ships pull requests. Oxlo.ai is a web-based coding-agent platform that routes AI coding work across multiple models to cut the cost per task.

The practical question for a solo founder or small team is where you work and what you want to control. Claude Code has published plans and a wide platform list, including web, mac, win, linux, cli, vscode-ext, and jetbrains-plugin, but it is locked to Anthropic models, so no GPT or Gemini out of the box. Oxlo.ai spreads work across several models and runs entirely in the browser, but its pricing tier and platforms are not recorded, which makes costs hard to compare before signing up.

Where Oxlo.ai is the better fit

Operates as a web-based platform accessible through a browser, running entirely in the browser.
Routes AI coding workloads across multiple models to reduce cost per task.
Its stated edge is cross-model cost control rather than one model's output, and it is not pinned to a single provider.

Which one should you pick?

Solo founder who lives in the terminal

Claude Code

It edits files, executes commands, and ships pull requests from the terminal, and the Free $0 plan removes the first hurdle. Budget for the learning curve if you expect an IDE.

Small team that wants to spread coding work across models

Oxlo.ai

It routes workloads across multiple models to reduce spend and runs entirely in the browser, so no terminal habit is needed. Ask for its pricing before committing, since no tier is publicly listed.

Team that needs to encode custom agent workflows

Claude Code

Skills, hooks, and slash commands let you define workflow primitives, and MCP works natively in both directions, as client and as server.

## Claude Code (/tools/claude-code)
Tagline: Anthropic's official CLI agent for Claude — runs in the terminal, edits files, executes commands, and ships PRs.
Category: AI Coding Agents
Pricing model: paid
Starts at: Free — $0
Platforms: web, mac, win, linux, cli, vscode-ext, jetbrains-plugin
Public repo: none listed
Docs: none listed
Verified plans (read 2026-08-24): Free $0 | Pro $17 / month with annual subscription discount, or $20 if billed monthly | Max (5x or 20x) From $100 / month
Strengths on file: First-class support for Anthropic Claude Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku.; MCP server protocol is natively supported as both client and server.; Skills, hooks, and slash commands let teams encode workflow primitives.
Limits on file: Locked to Anthropic models — no GPT or Gemini support out of the box.; Terminal-first UX has a learning curve for developers expecting an IDE.
Claude Code is Anthropic's official command-line agent for Claude — it runs in the terminal, edits files, executes commands, and ships pull requests.
Its strength is depth on Claude and extensibility: first-class support for Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku, native MCP as both client and server, and skills, hooks, and slash commands that let teams encode their own workflow primitives.
It's for developers comfortable in the terminal who want an agent that acts, not just autocompletes. Two trade-offs: it's locked to Anthropic models — no GPT or Gemini out of the box — and the terminal-first UX has a learning curve if you're expecting an IDE.
In the stack it's the terminal-first agent next to IDE-native Cursor and the open, model-agnostic Aider.

## Oxlo.ai (/tools/oxlo-ai)
Tagline: Scale across AI models without scaling your bill
Category: AI Coding Agents
Pricing model: not recorded
Starts at: Not recorded
Platforms: not recorded
Public repo: none listed
Docs: none listed
Verified plans: none on file
Strengths on file: Operates as a web-based platform accessible through a browser.; Routes AI coding workloads across multiple models to reduce cost per task.
Oxlo AI is a web-based coding-agent platform that routes AI coding work across multiple models to cut the cost per task.
Its edge is model routing: instead of pinning you to one provider, it spreads workloads across several models to reduce spend, which is the point behind its "scale across AI models without scaling your bill" pitch.
It runs entirely in the browser, so there are no documented native IDE extensions — a limit if your workflow lives in an editor. The pricing tier isn't publicly listed either, which makes it hard to compare costs before signing up.
Among AI coding agents, Oxlo AI competes less on a single model's output and more on cross-model cost control, unlike tools tied to one provider or a specific IDE plugin.
