Deep Code alternatives

Deep Code is an AI coding agent that works inside VS Code or a terminal, reading, editing and running code across persistent project sessions, with a free tier. When choosing a replacement, weigh whether you need a terminal or editor agent, the platforms and team features you require, the pricing model, and whether self-hosting or air-gapped deployment matters.
