The AI coding tool ecosystem is evolving rapidly. clawdboard currently tracks 3 tools: Claude Code (Anthropic), Codex CLI (OpenAI), and OpenCode (Community).
By estimated cost, Claude Code currently leads at 75.0% of total spend, followed by Codex CLI (24.8%), and OpenCode (0.2%).
Cost share is influenced by both adoption (number of users) and model pricing (higher-tier models cost more per token). A tool with fewer users but more expensive models can have a larger cost share than a widely-adopted tool using budget models.
clawdboard is the only platform tracking real usage data across all 3 tools side by side, providing a unique view of how developers actually use AI coding assistants in practice.
Common questions about AI coding tool usage data and comparisons.
clawdboard tracks usage from 3 AI coding tools: Claude Code (Anthropic), Codex CLI (OpenAI), and OpenCode (Community). Each tool's usage is tracked separately, allowing side-by-side comparison of cost, token usage, and model preferences.
Based on data from 48 developers, Claude Code leads with $73.8k in estimated API cost (75.0% of total spend). Popularity is measured by estimated cost, which reflects total usage volume weighted by model pricing.
The clawdboard CLI reads local log files from each supported tool on a developer's machine. Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode all maintain local usage logs. The CLI extracts token counts and model identifiers from these logs and syncs aggregate data to clawdboard. No code, prompts, or conversation content is collected.
Yes. If you use multiple supported tools, the clawdboard CLI will detect and sync usage from all installed tools. Your profile page shows a breakdown by tool, and the leaderboard aggregates your total spend across all tools.
All costs are estimated from token counts and published API pricing for each model. Usage is priced at the respective provider's rates (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.). These are API-equivalent estimates — most developers pay flat subscription fees.
Individual developers sync their usage every 2 hours by default. The aggregate statistics on this page are recalculated hourly. New tools are added to tracking as they gain community adoption.
