Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right AI coding plan?
Consider your budget, IDE preference, and whether you need autonomous agentic coding. If you want AI that can edit files and run commands independently, look for providers with Agent Mode and a high Agentic Score (8+). For budget-conscious developers, Chinese providers like Z.ai and MiniMax offer excellent value at $5-15/month.
What is the difference between Western and Chinese AI providers?
Western providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub) are typically $20-100/month with established ecosystems. Chinese providers (Z.ai, MiniMax, Qwen) often cost 5-20x less while offering comparable coding capabilities. API Gateways (OpenRouter, Kilopass) provide unified access to multiple providers through a single API.
What does Agentic Score mean?
The Agentic Score (1-10) rates how well a provider supports autonomous AI coding workflows — where the AI can independently edit multiple files, run terminal commands, and complete complex tasks with minimal human intervention. A score of 8+ means the provider is well-suited for production agentic coding.
Do all AI coding plans include API access?
No. While most providers offer API access, some plans are web-only or limited to specific IDE integrations. Use the API Access filter on this page to find providers that include programmatic access.
Are the prices shown monthly or annual?
All prices shown are monthly rates. Many providers offer annual billing at a discount (typically 10-20% savings). Check the individual provider page for annual pricing details.
What does "We Use This" mean?
The "We Use This" badge indicates providers that our team actively uses in production. Our reviews and assessments for these providers are based on direct, hands-on experience — not aggregated from third-party reviews.
