MightyMouse vs Claude
You do not have to leave Claude. MightyMouse runs on the Claude plan you already pay for and adds the rest.
Short answer: Claude's own apps are the better pick if Claude is the only AI you use, and MightyMouse runs on the Claude plan you already pay for while adding every other model in one chat. It also puts your whole Mac on your phone with free voice typing, and runs Codex, Cursor and OpenCode agents next to Claude Code.
Claude is Anthropic's AI, on the web, iPhone, Android and Mac. Pro is $20 a month ($17 with annual billing) and Max starts at $100 a month. Both include Claude Code, and voice mode is on every plan, free included. If Claude is your one AI, its own apps are polished and need nothing else.
MightyMouse does not replace your Claude plan, it builds on it. Connect the Claude account you already pay for and Claude Code runs on your Mac at no extra cost. Then you also get the web chat with Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok side by side, agents from Codex, Cursor and OpenCode, and your whole Mac on your phone: live screen, trackpad, keys and free voice typing.

Where Claude is the better pick
If Claude is the only AI you use, use Claude's own apps. They are made by the people who make the model, they run on iPhone, Android and desktop, and Claude's voice mode talks back on every plan. You get new Claude features there first.
Remote Control also works without MightyMouse. It continues a Claude Code session from the Claude app on your phone, on Pro and Max, and it is the least setup if Claude Code is the only thing you reach for.
Where MightyMouse is the better pick
Every model, one chat. Ask Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok the same question, keep the better answer, and make images and video in the same account. Free usage refills every week.
Your Claude plan keeps working. Claude Code runs on your Mac with the plan you already have. Codex, Cursor and OpenCode run beside it, so one inbox covers every agent.
The whole Mac, not only the agent. A dialog the agent did not expect, a browser tab to check: open the phone and you have the live screen, a trackpad, the keyboard and voice typing that stays on your Mac.
Not either-or
Most people who pick MightyMouse keep their Claude plan, because it is what powers Claude Code on the Mac. The question is whether you also want other models and the rest of your Mac in your pocket.

Common questions
Do I need an AI subscription?
No. Connect a Claude, Codex, Gemini or OpenCode account you already pay for and MightyMouse costs nothing. Have none? Sign up and use the built in option, no card needed. Voice transcription is free either way because it runs on your Mac.
Do I still need my Claude subscription?
If you want Claude Code on your Mac, yes, and MightyMouse uses the plan you already have at no extra cost. If you only want to chat, the built in option has Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok with a free plan and no card.
Can I use both?
Yes. Keep the Claude apps for everyday Claude chat, and use MightyMouse when you want other models, other coding agents, or the whole Mac on your phone.
Is Claude Remote Control the same thing?
Not quite. Remote Control continues a Claude Code session from the Claude app. MightyMouse also shows the live Mac screen, gives you a trackpad and keys, and runs Codex, Cursor and OpenCode too.
Want more than one model and more than one agent? MightyMouse runs on your Claude plan and puts your whole Mac on your phone. Free to try, no card.
