Coding Plan

Overview

AI coding subscriptions

Monthly subscription for AI coding tools — top models at fixed, predictable pricing.

Plan details

  • Pricing: $50/month
  • Models:
    • Recommended: qwen3.6-plus (vision), kimi-k2.5 (vision), glm-5, MiniMax-M2.5
    • More: qwen3.5-plus (vision), qwen3-max-2026-01-23, qwen3-coder-next, qwen3-coder-plus, glm-4.7
  • Quota:
    • 6,000 requests per 5 hours
    • 45,000 requests per week
    • 90,000 requests per month
How quota works: Each coding task uses multiple requests behind the scenes — simple tasks ~5–10, complex ones 30+. Check usage on the Coding Plan page. Quota reset:
  • 5-hour: Sliding window — each request resets 5 hours after use.
  • Weekly: Every Monday at 00:00 (UTC+8).
  • Monthly: Same calendar date as your subscription start, at 00:00 (UTC+8).
Coding Plan is non-refundable. API keys are for interactive coding tools (not scripts or batch calls) and for personal use only. Account sharing may result in suspension.

Getting started

Step 1: Subscribe to Coding Plan

Go to the Coding Plan page, click Subscribe, and complete the purchase.

Step 2: Get API key and base URL

  • API key: Get your plan-specific API key (format: sk-sp-xxxxx) from the API Keys page.
  • Base URL: Use the plan-specific base URL that matches your tool:
    • OpenAI compatible: https://coding-intl.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1
    • Anthropic compatible: https://coding-intl.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/apps/anthropic
Do not use sk-xxxxx API keys or dashscope-intl base URLs. They do not work with Coding Plan.

FAQ

Unexpected charges with a Coding Plan

This happens when you use the general Qwen Cloud API key and base URL instead of your Coding Plan-specific ones. This usage is billed on a pay-as-you-go basis, resulting in extra charges. To resolve this, switch to your Coding Plan API key (starting with sk-sp-) and base URL (containing coding). See Get your plan-specific API key and base URL. For more questions, refer to the FAQ.
