# Best Coding agents for Claude

> Source: https://theagentsindex.com/best/coding-agents/claude (curated, quality-gated, re-verified)

19 of the 26 coding agents in this index qualify for Claude — every one a Published, quality-gated listing, not a scraped row.

Across the set: 13 of 17 with known API status (76%) expose a public API, paid plans span $5–$25, and 17 offer a free or freemium tier.

19 of 19 carry a fact-verification date; the freshest check is 2026-09-01.

Two of these run Claude as the vendor's own default (Claude Code; and Claude selectable within Cursor, Windsurf and GitHub Copilot) — the rest (Aider, Juggler, Zot) are model-agnostic tools where Claude is one of several providers you plug in yourself, so "supports Claude" means something different depending on which entry you click.

## Methodology

Assembled programmatically from the live index: every entry is a Published, quality-gated listing in Coding agents carrying the "Claude" tag, ranked by tier then name. The numbers (19 tools, 76% of known with an API, paid plans $5–$25) are computed from the structured facts on those listings — this page exists only because the underlying data clears the density gate.
