I Cancelled My $20 Claude Cowork Plan After a Week With OpenWork

I Cancelled My $20 Claude Cowork Plan After a Week With OpenWork I didn't expect to cancel. I'd been paying for Claude Cowork, it worked, and switching tools is usually hassle than it's worth. Then I spent a week running OpenWork - open-source, free - on actual work instead of a toy. By Friday I'd cancelled the plan. Here's the honest version of what happened, including the part that nearly made me quit on day one. The setup that took two minutes I went in skeptical. Free open-source agent clients usually mean "free, but you'll spend a weekend configuring it." OpenWork wasn't that.
