CC Switch Alternatives

Direct alternatives to CC Switch

CC Switch is an MIT-licensed desktop app that swaps the provider behind Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and other coding tools by rewriting their config files, with a local proxy for format conversion and failover. Nothing else in the directory replicates the desktop switcher itself. People who look elsewhere usually want one piece of it: a routing layer a whole team can share, or a lower token bill. The list is grouped that way.

Running the routing layer yourself

• LiteLLM: open-source proxy (MIT core) with one OpenAI-compatible interface to 100+ providers, plus virtual keys, budgets and fallbacks. Its docs cover pointing Claude Code at the proxy through ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL. Fits when routing belongs on a shared server rather than in each developer's config.

Cutting what coding agents spend

• Tokenade: local CLI proxy that compacts command output and MCP responses before they reach the model. Claude Code gets full support; Codex CLI, Gemini CLI and several others get partial support. Closed source, with a free tier of 10M saved tokens a month (as of September 2026).
• Vynaris: hosted OpenAI-compatible gateway that routes each request to a smaller model where its evals allow and returns a per-request cost receipt. Documented setups include Claude Code. Requests go through Vynaris rather than staying local. The service is labelled early beta.
