What's the Best Budget Option for Using Claude 3.7?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm looking for advice on the most affordable way to use Claude 3.7, like how Cursor allows it after a $20 subscription for just $0.05 per request. I work on multiple PCs, and it's frustrating that Claude doesn't sync chat history across devices. If I go for the Claude 3.7 API on my own, the costs skyrocket. Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to the API?

Have you thought about GitHub Copilot as an alternative? It could be a decent option depending on your needs.

Have you checked out DesktopCommander MCP with Claude Desktop? It’s a fixed monthly price of $20 and doesn’t charge by usage, so you might save some cash that way! You can find it [here](https://github.com/wonderwhy-er/DesktopCommanderMCP).
