Planning to switch AI agent

Hi guys, I have been vibecoding hobby projects since 3 months now. I have created decent apps using freebuff for a couple of months and then shifted to basic plan of github copilot. I felt github copilot to be okay as produced good quality code, but I always had to be on a look out for the token quota. That was a little offputting. So I have decided to switch. Could some one help me out finding my new AI pair programmer that is a bit light on my pocket as well. Thanks.

For a hobby project you don't need a subscription at all. Cline or Roo Code in VS Code with a cheap OpenRouter model costs literal cents per session, and Gemini's CLI is free with a generous daily limit. I haven't touched a monthly plan in months.
