Hunk vs OpenCode (2026): Which Vibe Coding App Is Better?
Both are popular terminal coding agents. Here is how Hunk and OpenCode stack up on price, strengths and weaknesses, and which one we would pick.
Hunk
Terminal diff viewer built for reviewing multi-file changes made by AI coding agents
7.0 /10
Pricing: Open source
Pros
- Purpose-built review UI for agent-generated diffs: multi-file review stream, inline agent annotations, split/unified/auto layouts, watch mode
- Works as a Git pager/difftool and auto-detects Jujutsu and Sapling too, not just Git
- Actively maintained (MIT, 9.3k stars, 305 forks, 876 commits) with an extension system and community Discord
Cons
- Doesn't map cleanly onto any single existing app category here — it's a review/viewer tool for agent output, not an agent, editor, app-builder, or cloud agent i
- No dated "last commit" was visible in the fetched page, so exact recent-activity cadence couldn't be confirmed beyond the commit count
OpenCode
Open-source terminal coding agent that works with any model provider
8.4 /10
Pricing: Open source
Pros
- Free and open source; any model provider
- Claude Code-style extensibility
- Fast, well-designed terminal UI
Cons
- You pay the model provider directly; costs vary with usage
- Smaller community of ready-made extensions
