Freebuff

Freebuff was the OG Claude Code. They did it in 2024, at that time it was called CodeBuff. It was mind-blowing already at that time. Congrats on the launch guys!

The fact that this can actually compete with some of the paid options is pretty wild

Using it for months, can't recommend it enough. Add MCP and it'll be a winner, not only a keeper.

What a fantastic product! I love using it. Clicking on the interesting ads that pop up from time to time is also a lot of fun :)

596 messages. 196.6M tokens. €0 spent on model access.The trade-off? You watch ads.what a time to be alive

Excellent product! Been using it for the past 2 weeks ago.

Free coding agents without another subscription or API key to manage? That’s actually a pretty interesting approach 👀 Curious to try how Freebuff compares in real-world builds. Congrats team!

Congrats on the launch!

colour me intrigued! The model is a great idea and with the price increase for tokens from deepseek could be a good alternative.

FYI

I was invited by Freebuff to support their Product Hunt launch. Unfortunately, after my own experience and feedback from people I referred, I cannot recommend it.

1. Misleading model promotion
I received a promotional email explicitly advertising GPT-5.6 Luna as 100% free. I shared Freebuff with other people partly because of this promotion.
In practice, both I and people I referred appear to have access only to DeepSeek.
If you advertise a specific model to attract users and referrals, but that model isn't actually available to those users, I consider that seriously misleading. Any regional or other restrictions should have been clearly disclosed before signup.

2. Agent permissions and sandboxing
I also have serious concerns about the client's permissions. From my experience and feedback from people I referred, the agent appears to have very broad access without sufficiently clear and predictable workspace boundaries.
For an agent capable of modifying files, explicit permissions and strong sandboxing are essential.

3. Communication
The promotional emails — including the request to support this Product Hunt launch — arrive under a personal-looking sender such as "James from Freebuff", yet replies to that sender address don't work.
There is apparently a separate support address, but users have to discover it separately.
You are asking users for referrals and public support. I think users deserve the same transparency about what they're actually getting and an obvious way to respond when something is wrong.

Why I'm posting this
I was explicitly asked to support this launch. I cannot honestly give it a positive recommendation, so I'm sharing my actual experience instead.
I'm not posting this to start a debate, and I won't participate in arguments or spend time defending my experience. I've described what happened and why I cannot recommend the product.
Other users can look at the facts, try the product themselves, and make their own decision.

I am an idiot :) . Tell me how you guys make money. My Claude API bill was about 1600 last month

how are ads delivered in the CLI?

Amazing product! Been using it for a few months. Equivalent to Claude Code but free. Used it for data analysis for work as well as creating tools eg football manager moneyball tools. The harness really impressed me as it started checking some maths for me when I asked it about optimising collision detection for 3d objects. That's what inspired me to get it to help with data analysis too. I also used it to help research robot cars and drones for my son to use on ebay. So it has search tools too. It's amazing

genuinely no need to pay for tokens for solo work & personal life anymore. great product and evolving fast.

This is my first comment here on the website, but the team behind it truly deserves it! It's mind-blowing to see what's possible when you can do token maximization. I hope you all enjoy it.
