A hands-on review of Crush, Charm's terminal-based AI coding agent, used to build an OpenGraph image generator. The author appreciates the TUI interface and model-agnostic approach but finds the API costs ($23 for a 45-minute task using Sonnet 4) prohibitive compared to Cursor's subscription pricing. While the tool worked well for the task, the author plans to limit usage to smaller tasks with cheaper models or wait for local model support due to cost concerns.
