Yes, by API usage. I think you can’t limit which files it sends.

They’ve made a recent change to Claude Code that apparently makes it respect your gitignore

In that sense, Aider is definitely better.

A coworker was trying both out on a project, and was finding Claude Code to be 4x more expensive (both using the Sonnet-3.7 mode) - because he couldn't limit the context Code would send. As the project grows, that multiplication factor could be a lot larger.
