Pros and cons

Claude Code

Pros

  • Works across terminal, VS Code, JetBrains, desktop app, web and Slack with shared settings
  • Runs commands and tests and handles git commits and pull requests
  • Included with Pro at $20 per month, with no separate purchase
  • Extensible through MCP, skills, hooks, subagents and an Agent SDK
  • Composable in scripts and CI through a non-interactive mode

Cons

  • Not available on the Free plan; paid access starts at $20 per month
  • Usage limits are shared with chat, and heavy users may need Max at $100 to $200 per month or per-token API billing
  • JetBrains plugin requires the CLI to be installed separately
  • Terminal-first workflow suits users comfortable with the command line

Opera Neon

Pros

  • Combines chat, browser actions, research and content creation in one browser rather than a separate extension.
  • Neon Do shows its plan and actions in real time and can be paused or taken over.
  • Wide model choice across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI and open-weight models on the Standard plan.
  • MCP connector and CLI let external agents such as Claude Code or n8n use a live browser session.
  • Credentials, passwords and card details are stated to stay on the device, and Opera says it does not train on user data.
  • Free VPN and ad blocker are included in the browser.

Cons

  • Full agentic features need the $19.90 per month Standard plan, higher than many AI add-ons.
  • Windows and macOS only; no Linux, iOS or Android version yet.
  • Neon Do uses cloud LLMs to plan, and page content is sent to Opera and OpenAI servers with 365-day retention.
  • Opera itself calls Neon an experimental agentic browser, so behaviour and plan limits may change.
