You can use Claude Code against Kimi K2, DeepSeek, Qwen, etc. The 20$ a month plan gets you access to a token amount of sonnet for coding, but that wouldn't be indicative of how people are using it.
We gave Gemini CLI a spin, it is kinda unhinged, I am impressed you were able to get your results. After reading through the Gemini CLI codebase, it appears to be a shallow photocopy knockoff of Claude Code, but it has no built in feedback loops or development guides other than, "you are an excellent senior programmer ..." the built in prompts are embarrassingly naive.

Yeah but I wouldn't get a generous free tier, and I am Poor lmao.

compared to my brief stint with OpenCode and Claude Code with claude code router, qwen-code (which is basically a carbon copy of gemini cli) is indeed unhinged, and worse than the other options, but if you baby it just right you can get stuff done lol

Qwen has it's own agent which I haven't used https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code
