Claude Code costs up to $200 a month. Goose does the same thing for free.

- Anthropic’s Claude Code is charging devs up to $200/month for rate limits that vanish faster than a moonboy’s portfolio. Enter Goose, Block’s open-source agent. It runs locally, costs zero, and respects your privacy—unlike cloud tools that treat your code like public domain. While Anthropic throttles usage, Goose lets you wield any LLM, from Qwen to local Ollama instances, without paying a subscription tax. It’s not quite Opus-level magic yet, but it’s free autonomy in an era of digital serfdom. Stop renting your workflow; own your stack. The era of $200 AI subscriptions is over; the age of local sovereignty is here.
