Difference between Kilo Code, Roo Code and Cline
Kilo Code started as a fork of Roo Code, which itself is a fork of Cline. We frequently merge features from these open-source projects and contribute improvements back. Built on these foundations, Kilo Code is independently developed with our own vision for AI coding agents.
No need to fiddle with API keys, Kilo Code ships with the latest AI models plugged in, including Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude 4 Sonnet & Opus, and GPT-5
MCP Server Marketplace: Easily find, and use MCP servers to extend the agent capabilities.
Inline Assist (experimental)
Kilo Code is a direct fork from Roo Code, and also includes the following features from Cline (and our own features):
System notifications: Get notified when the agent is done with a task.
Easy model connection: with bigger free tier.
Editing previous messages
Assisted commit messages: we write git commit messages for you based on what changed
