Sweet vs Claude Code
Both run agents from the terminal. The difference is persistence: Sweet keeps one workspace and remembers your project across sessions, so you don't re-explain it every morning.

When to use which
Claude Code gives you Anthropic's frontier models. Sweet trades that for a lower, fixed cost: a flat team price and capped spend, which helps when you want many agents running without per-seat costs.
