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?

OpenCode Go/Zen have deepseek models that have the best cost-benefit out there. Then OpenRouter with selected providers if I want to try something else.

I don't spend more than $20/month on personal projects and still manage to have a lot more functionality than I could have without AI.
