Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AI Coding Plans

What is a Coding Plan?
A Coding Plan is a monthly subscription offered by various AI platforms that gives you access to their models inside coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and more. Instead of paying per token, you pay a flat fee and get a generous usage quota that refreshes on a rolling basis.
Which coding tools are supported?
Most plans support Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Roo Code, Kilo Code, and OpenCode. GLM and MiniMax support 10–20+ tools. Kimi works primarily through Kimi CLI, Claude Code, and Roo Code. Claude Code's own plan works across terminal, VS Code, JetBrains, web, and desktop.
What does "5-hour rolling limit" mean?
Most platforms use a rolling 5-hour window to manage usage. For example, MiniMax Starter allows 100 prompts per 5-hour window. As time passes, your oldest usage "falls off" and quota frees up automatically — you don't have to wait for a fixed daily reset.
How many model calls does one prompt use?
In coding tools, a single user prompt typically triggers 5–30 model calls behind the scenes, as the tool performs code analysis, search, generation, and validation steps. Different platforms count usage differently — some count "prompts" (user messages), others count raw API requests. Check each platform's docs for specifics.
Which plan offers the best value?
It depends on your needs. For the lowest entry price, GLM Lite at $3/month is unbeatable. For a balance of price and speed, MiniMax Starter at $10/month gives you 100 prompts per 5 hours. For the best model quality, Claude Code Pro at $20/month gives you access to Opus 4.6. For multi-model flexibility, Qwen's plan lets you switch between 6+ models.
Can I get a refund?
Refund policies vary by platform. Most subscriptions are non-refundable once activated. We recommend starting with a lower tier to test the service before committing to a higher plan.
