FAQ

How far can Cline's autonomous agent go?+

Cline can create/edit/delete files, execute terminal commands (npm, git, etc.), control the browser for scraping and testing, and make API calls — all autonomously. It requests user approval before each significant action.

How much does Cline cost to use?+

The Cline plugin is free, but you pay for the AI API (e.g., Claude 3.5 Sonnet). A complex task may cost $1–$5. Cline has a built-in usage monitor so you can track spend.
