ccusage vs opcode (formerly Claudia) in 2026

Q: What does opcode (formerly Claudia) do with user data?

opcode's page says all data stays on your machine and that it does no data collection or tracking . It also says each agent runs in its own separate process . For ccusage, the sources here describe reading local data but say nothing further about data handling.

Option	License	Price	Install
ccusage	MIT ^[1]	Not published	Run directly without a global installation ^[1]
opcode (formerly Claudia)	AGPL ^[2]	Not published	Release executables will be published soon ^[2]
AgentHydra	MIT ^[3]	Free, no account or subscription ^[3]	On Windows: one-line PowerShell script, GitHub Releases build, or run from source with Bun ^[3]

The short answer

ccusage analyzes coding agent CLI token usage and costs from local data ^[1]. opcode (formerly Claudia) lets users create custom agents, manage interactive Claude Code sessions and run secure background agents ^[2]. AgentHydra shows Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions on your machine in one searchable list, updated live while they run ^[3].

For each need, ccusage's page covers token usage and cost analysis ^[1], and opcode's page covers custom agents and Claude Code sessions ^[2]. AgentHydra's claims cover a session list, cost by day, model, project and account at API list prices ^[3], and replying into a Claude session's own desktop chat ^[3].

What ccusage, opcode (formerly Claudia) is built for

ccusage. Its page says it analyzes coding agent CLI token usage and costs from local data ^[1]. You can change the token price used for each model ^[1]. Cache creation and cache read tokens are shown separately ^[1]. Cost columns can be hidden ^[1].

opcode (formerly Claudia). Its page calls it a GUI app and toolkit for Claude Code ^[2]. It lets users create custom agents, manage interactive Claude Code sessions and run secure background agents ^[2]. Each agent runs in its own separate process ^[2]. All data stays on your machine ^[2], and it says it does no data collection or tracking ^[2]. It is built with Tauri 2, a toolkit for building desktop apps ^[2].

What AgentHydra is built for

AgentHydra is made by the team that publishes this site.

It shows Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions on your machine in one searchable list, updated live while they run ^[3]. You can type a reply into a Claude session's own desktop chat, or send one message to several sessions ^[3]. It moves a Claude chat, history included, to another of your accounts ^[3].

It splits a task's pieces across Claude Code CLI sessions on your accounts, and moves a worker to another account when one nears its limit ^[3]. It shows cost at API list prices by day, model, project and account ^[3], and prints the same cost numbers as JSON from the command line ^[3].

It lists each Claude and Codex account with its plan and 5-hour and weekly quota, and can open, focus, quit, create and delete Claude Desktop instances ^[3]. It pairs each failed shell command with the command that fixed it, and can copy those pairs out as a rules file for your agents ^[3]. It can also pack a task and its repository into a Markdown file, leaving out common secret files, then copy a prompt and open ChatGPT for you to send yourself ^[3].

Pricing and fees

ccusage: the sources here state no price, so its price is not published here.

opcode (formerly Claudia): the sources here state no price, so its price is not published here. Its page says it is licensed under the AGPL License ^[2]. It also says its release executables will be published soon ^[2].

AgentHydra is free, with no account or subscription ^[3]. It is open source under the MIT License ^[3]. No paid tier is stated in its claims.

None of the sources here describe a card payment fee, a separate service you must pay for, or a plan name for any of the three tools. A license is not a price, so check each project's own pages for anything the sources here do not cover.

Setting it up and daily use

ccusage. It can be run directly without a global installation ^[1] ^[1]. Day to day, you read the token usage and costs it works out from local data ^[1]. The sources here say nothing more about its setup.

opcode (formerly Claudia). Its page lists requirements of Windows 10/11, macOS 11+ or Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+) ^[2], a minimum of 4GB of RAM, with 8GB recommended ^[2], and at least 1GB of free storage ^[2]. It says release executables will be published soon ^[2]. It is a GUI app for managing Claude Code sessions ^[2].

AgentHydra. On Windows, install with a one-line PowerShell script, or download a build from GitHub Releases, or run from source with Bun ^[3]. The tray app needs Windows, and macOS and Linux builds exist but have not been verified ^[3]. Daily, you use the session list ^[3] or print cost numbers from the command line ^[3].

Things to check before you choose

Ask which coding agents you use. Check ccusage's page for the agents it reads, while opcode's page names Claude Code ^[2], and AgentHydra's claims name Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode ^[3].

Ask whether you need reports or a place to work. ccusage analyzes token usage and costs ^[1], while opcode manages sessions and agents ^[2].

Check your operating system. opcode lists its supported systems ^[2], and AgentHydra's tray app needs Windows ^[3]. The sources here do not list ccusage's supported systems, so check its page.

Check how cost is figured. AgentHydra shows cost at API list prices ^[3]. Check ccusage's pricing data and overrides ^[1].

Check the license. Check ccusage's own page for its license, opcode is AGPL ^[2] and AgentHydra is MIT ^[3].

How to choose

If you want token usage and cost analysis from local data, ccusage's page describes that ^[1].

If you want a GUI for Claude Code with custom agents and sessions, opcode's page describes that ^[2].

If you want no data collection, opcode's page says it does none ^[2].

If you want Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions in one searchable list, AgentHydra's claims describe that ^[3].

If you want quota per Claude and Codex account in view, AgentHydra's claims describe that ^[3].

If you want a free tool with no account, AgentHydra's claims say that ^[3].
