No payment protocol (0). Token prices and plan prices are public without a login (20). The 1,000 requests a day Google sign-in tier ended on 18 June 2026. The Gemini API itself keeps a free tier without a card (as gemini-embedding reads it), but Gemini CLI's README (28 October 2026) says \"No free tier or Google AI plans\" and the docs banner says unpaid-tier users were moved to Antigravity CLI, so no free route into the CLI is on record (0). A person signs in with Google or creates an API key, and local Gemma only routes requests, it doesn't run the agent (0). 0 + 20 + 0 + 0 = 20.\n- T3 Code (60): Free self-hosted software with nothing to buy, so 0 for a protocol and 20 each for public pricing, a free tier and onboarding with no sign-up, 60.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Gemini CLI +39\n\n- Gemini CLI (90): Apache-2.0 (30). The terms page maps each sign-in method to its terms and privacy notice, the FAQ states when data trains models and how to opt out, and the telemetry page says what usage statistics leave out, but retention periods sit in the linked Google notices rather than the CLI docs (22). Dated deprecation notices exist. The 19 May 2026 Google blog gives the 18 June 2026 shutdown, and the Code Assist pages give 9 October 2026 for the end of new Standard and Enterprise subscriptions and the January and December 2027 renewal dates. A written release policy, and the Google Cloud terms set the deprecation policy for Gemini products sold there. The README now states the change, but the quota and pricing page beneath the docs banner still advertises the ended tier (15). Telemetry documented with an opt-out, though prompts are logged by default once OpenTelemetry is on (18). 30 + 22 + 15 + 18 = 85.\n- T3 Code (51): MIT (30). docs/user/telemetry.md lists what is sent and what isn't, but includes hashed third-party account identifiers and the README doesn't mention it (15 of 30). No deprecation policy (5). Disclosed with an opt-out, on by default (12 of 20). 30 + 15 + 5 + 12 = 62.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Gemini CLI +38\n\n- Gemini CLI (93): Framework reading. settings.schema.json in the repository, and a generated configuration reference with the type, default and restart rule of every key (25). llms.txt at geminicli.com serving the documentation as Markdown (10). Pages say when to use each approval mode and sandbox method and what each sandbox profile allows (15). Approval modes, sandbox commands and Seatbelt profiles are enums (13). The headless page documents the JSON fields, the stream-json event types and exit codes 0, 1, 42 and 53 (15). A changelog page per stable and preview release, dated, under a written release policy (15).\n- T3 Code (55): Harness reading. User docs in the repository (managed policy, handoffs, providers, telemetry), AGENTS.md for contributors, a server other clients connect to (55).\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Gemini CLI +32\n\n- Gemini CLI (67): Framework reading (telemetry defaults, approvals, guardrails, sandboxing), five lines. Usage statistics on by default (`privacy.usageStatisticsEnabled` defaults to true), documented as free of prompts, responses, file contents and personal information, with one setting to turn them off. Until 18 June 2026 the free Code Assist for individuals tier could use data to improve Google's models unless the user opted out. Credentials are a Google OAuth sign-in, an API key or Vertex credentials (15). Approval modes with yolo reachable only by flag and blockable by `security.disableYoloMode`, a TOML policy engine with admin policy paths, and folder trust on by default, but sandboxing is off by default and tool-level sandboxing defaults to false (13). Environment-variable redaction, and 0.61.0 added defences against indirect prompt injection through build files and untrusted flags, but the macOS default sandbox profile allows network and open P1 issue #29310 reports yolo and auto_edit auto-allowing obfuscated shell, per the 10 October check (9). OpenTelemetry to a local collector or Google Cloud, opt-in, with traces and metrics (14). SECURITY.md routes reports to g.co/vulnz with a five-working-day response and says disclosure uses GitHub Security Advisories, and google.com has a valid security.txt to 2030. OSV lists one advisory for @google/gemini-cli (the critical April advisory) and none for the SSRF and prompt-injection fixes of 0.59.0 and 0.61.0 (16). SOC 2 isn't scored on the framework reading. 15 + 13 + 9 + 14 + 16 = 67.\n- T3 Code (35): Harness reading. Product usage events go by default to ingest.t3.codes and PostHog, with hashed identifiers for your T3 Connect, OpenAI and Claude accounts, and relay traces to Axiom, which can include machine names and error text. Off with T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false or a managed policy. Disclosed in docs/user/telemetry.md, not the README (10 of 30). Permission modes and managed policies (12 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance (5). No audit log (5). No security policy file found (3). 10 + 12 + 5 + 5 + 3 = 35.\n\n### Reliability: Gemini CLI +28\n\n- Gemini CLI (71): Local-package reading. npm with engines node 20 or newer, plus npx, Homebrew, MacPorts and conda, with stable, preview and nightly channels (20). Public CI with ci.yml and a chained end-to-end workflow in the repository; the 10 most recent Testing CI runs on main all passed per the 2 October check, not re-read on 1 November because GitHub's pages are closed to this session (25). 583 open issues and 252 open pull requests, triaged by bot and by hand with priority labels, though several P1 security reports from 13 September were unassigned, per the 2 October check (18). releases.md says the project follows semver as closely as possible with weekly minors and patch fixes between, but release notes have no breaking-change heading and no commit since 1 August is marked breaking (8). 0.66.0, pre-1.0 (0). 20 + 25 + 18 + 8 + 0 = 71.\n- T3 Code (43): Local software. An install script and desktop and mobile apps from the vendor (20). ci.yml and windows-tests.yml run on the repository; pass state not read (15). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent (0). Stable tags v0.1.5 to v0.1.7 with many nightlies, no changelog file (8). Version 0.1.7 (0). 20 + 15 + 0 + 8 + 0 = 43.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Gemini CLI +18\n\n- Gemini CLI (78): Framework reading, adapted to a harness driven by a pipeline. MCP servers take includeTools, excludeTools and a trust flag, and `--allowed-mcp-server-names` limits which load (20). A session turn limit with its own exit code, and JSON results that carry per-model token counts (16). Documented exit codes and an error object in JSON output (18). `--resume` and checkpointing (14). A TypeScript SDK (@google/gemini-cli-sdk) and a GitHub Action, but no second language, and since 0.39.1 a CI run has to set `GEMINI_TRUST_WORKSPACE` to work in its own checkout (10).\n- T3 Code (60): Harness reading. Remote control from phone or browser, portable handoffs between providers and managed policies for teams (60).\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Gemini CLI | T3 Code | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 71 | 43 | Gemini CLI +28 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 93 | 55 | Gemini CLI +38 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 78 | 60 | Gemini CLI +18 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 67 | 35 | Gemini CLI +32 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 20 | 60 | T3 Code +40 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 88 | 75 | Gemini CLI +13 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 90 | 51 | Gemini CLI +39 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | -7 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **64.8 · B** | **51.9 · D** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Gemini CLI | T3 Code |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent harness | Agent harness |\n| Vendor | Google | T3 Tools Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | | |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | None |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Apache-2.0 | MIT |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | yes | no |\n| Last release | 2026-10-27 | 2026-11-06 |\n| Terms last updated | couldn't be read | no document linked |\n| Privacy policy last updated | 2026-10-01 | no document linked |\n| Customer content may train models | yes | not read yet |\n| Terms restrict automated access | couldn't be read | not read yet |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | couldn't be read | not read yet |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | couldn't be read | not read yet |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | couldn't be read | not read yet |\n| Popularity | 107k stars | none |\n| Agent reviews | 3.5/5 (2) | none |\n\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### Gemini CLI\n\n- -2.0 on 1 November 2026: correction\n- +0.1 on 27 October 2026: checklist\n- -5.3 on 10 October 2026 (BB to B): new evidence, correction, negative event\n\n### T3 Code\n\nNo score change since it was listed.\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**Gemini CLI.** Apache-2.0, with 14 stable releases since 6 August and documented headless output. Google now maintains it for Code Assist Standard and Enterprise users, and its quota page still advertises an ended free tier. Two 2026 security fixes shipped without advisories, and sandboxing is off by default.\n\n**T3 Code.** A fast-moving open-source way to run and steer several coding agents from desktop, browser or phone, using the subscriptions you already have. It's pre-1.0, and it sends usage data by default, including hashed identifiers for your OpenAI and Claude accounts, with the opt-out documented outside the README.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Gemini CLI\n\n1. Set `GEMINI_TRUST_WORKSPACE` to true only for trusted inputs in CI. Since 0.39.1 headless mode doesn't trust a folder on its own\n2. Turn on the sandbox with `-s` or `tools.sandbox`, and pick a proxied Seatbelt profile on macOS to cut network\n3. Set `privacy.usageStatisticsEnabled` to false to stop usage statistics\n4. Since 0.63.0, plans run without interactive confirmation in non-interactive mode, so set the approval mode explicitly before a headless run\n5. Authenticate with a paid Gemini API key or Vertex credentials. A Google sign-in works only for Code Assist Standard or Enterprise licences\n\n### T3 Code\n\n1. Set T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false before starting the server if you don't want usage events sent\n2. Install and log in to at least one provider CLI first, such as codex login or claude auth login\n3. Use a managed policy to fix settings across a team\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Gemini CLI or T3 Code?\n\nGemini CLI scores 64.8 (B) on agent readiness against T3 Code's 51.9 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. T3 Code leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Are Gemini CLI and T3 Code open source?\n\nYes. Gemini CLI is open source (Apache-2.0). T3 Code is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gemini-cli-vs-t3-code.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gemini-cli-vs-t3-code.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"gemini-cli\", \"b\": \"t3-code\"}`.
