ACLIDE vs Clave

ACLIDE is a multi-provider AI API gateway that gives access to models using one API key. Its catalog lists 115 models, and the API supports OpenAI Responses and Anthropic Messages formats. A dashboard tracks requests, tokens, costs, models and limits; setup guides cover Codex CLI, OpenCode, Claude Code, Cursor and Cline. Monthly usage credits renew without rolling over, and calls stop when the allowance is used up, with no automatic overage charges. Requests send the context needed to the selected model provider, while usage logs retain request metadata such as model, tokens, credits, latency and status, not prompts or responses. API keys are shown in plain text only once; ACLIDE keeps each key’s SHA-256 hash, prefix and final four characters. Hosted on OVHcloud infrastructure in France, ACLIDE is a project of the Skyclouds registered association in Mozac, France. It has a free plan with €20 in monthly usage credits and paid monthly plans: Essential is €5, Solo €20, Studio €50, Team €100 and Priority €200. Support is by ticket on the lower plans, with priority or enhanced priority support on the higher tiers.

Clave is a free, open-source desktop app for running coding-agent sessions in tabs, groups, and project workspaces. It supports Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Pi, plain terminals, and remote agents over OpenClaw. Claude Code and Codex can use a chat view with rendered answers, grouped tool calls, attachments, and model selection. Groups retain sessions, folders, saved terminals, and prompts, while workspace files can act as project templates. A side panel combines a file tree, editors, HTML preview, and git tools for diffs, history, and one-click sync. Its MCP server provides twenty-three tools for tab and group management, file opening, and messaging. Clave runs locally without an account or cloud backend, with remote access through SSH and SFTP. macOS supports Apple Silicon and Intel; the early Windows build has stated limitations. The app is MIT-licensed and costs nothing.
