AI Coding Plans - what's included.
Closed-weight models lock you to one vendor (Claude, GPT, Gemini). Open · creator-hosted models (Kimi, GLM, MiniMax) ship downloadable weights but are primarily offered by their creators. Open · multi-provider plans (OpenCode Go, Kilo Pass, Ollama Cloud) let you access many open models through a single subscription.

Much more generous limits than Claude. Codex app keeps improving - great for backend tasks.
The open source model closest to Claude in coding quality. Very appreciated by developers.
$5 first month, then $10/mo. Best value right now.
Its Context Engine does semantic dependency analysis across 400K+ files and multiple repos - uniquely built for enterprise monorepos and microservice architectures.
Best models for coding, but Pro usage is very limited. Includes Claude Design and Claude Code.
Composer 2 powered by RL-trained models, deployed every 5 hours. 200+ tok/s with multi-repo workspaces.
New signups suspended for Pro, Pro+, and Student plans as of April 2026. Tighter usage limits enforced. Opus models removed from Pro. Only Free plan remains open to new users. One of the least attractive options right now.
Currently the preferred open source model for coding.
Access 500+ models at exact provider rates with bonus credits. Good for multi-model workflows.
Smaller model = generous limits at every tier. Excellent pairing with OpenCode Go.
Alternative to OpenCode Go and Kilo Pass for local model access.
SWE-1.5 runs at up to 950 tok/s via Cerebras, 13x faster than Sonnet 4.5. Cascade 2 with persistent Memories.
