Your daily driver for AI coding shouldn't be a black box -- the stakes are too high. You should have confidence that when you spend $XX on frontier models, you're getting $XX in frontier model intelligence.

With subscription tools, you never know what's happening:
- Is that really Sonnet-4 responding?
- Why does performance vary by day?
- Where did those context limits come from?
- What exactly are you paying for?

Cline makes everything visible. You see every prompt. Track every token. Know exactly which model you're using. Pay exactly what it costs.

This transparency isn't a feature -- it's our architecture. Open source code means every routing decision is public. Can't hide anything even if we wanted to.

As new models launch, you get them immediately. As prices drop, you save immediately. No waiting for pricing updates or plan changes.
