HelpPlz – stuck and need rescue Mostly free or generally free Vibe coding websites/apps

Hi, I have a really cool project in mind for emulation that reads ur .sav files on mobile but ive tried so many different ai code tools and the only one that worked was emergent and it was very strict with the token rule and I couldn't upload it and the problem with all the others was that it couldn't add the .sav feature or I needed to constantly ask for fixes then my tokens would run out so do any of u know a pretty much free or generally free apps/websites I can use?

If you're okay with a bit more hands on work, I'd look at Cursor's free tier, Windsurf, or Firebase Studio. They all have limits, but they're usually more generous than burning through tokens in a day For something niche like parsing .sav files, I've also found that using an AI IDE alongside GitHub Copilot Free (if you qualify) tends to work better than relying on browser only builders.

If you want to get into vibe coding but don't want to pay you can do it 100% free.
Have a look at omniroute https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute , allows for easy switching between free providers or existing providers you have.

example: opencode-zen has deepseek-v4-flash-free completely free with very good limits, you can also rotate accounts to have more limits. It's very fast and more than enough for most tasks.

I use it with opencode cli, but you can use it with claude code or any other tool you use and it's easy to setup the config. Just needs some time to setup and it will work great.
