BEFORE YOU SUBSCRIBE

same monthly price ≠ same amount of work

credits aren't a common currency

$60 of usage at one provider is not necessarily the same number of tokens at another. Model rates, cache discounts and tool charges change the result.

one task can make many calls

An agent can read files, run tests and retry before it finishes one request. Published call counts are not counts of completed coding tasks.

check the exact model and tier

Model tags show selected families, not every version or every tier. Sign-in shares your existing allowance. It does not reset it.

scope, sources & what is still missing

This is a dated research snapshot of subscriptions usable through multiple coding tools, including regional and partially verified options. It is not a benchmark, an uptime test or a complete list of every reseller. “Documented” means published terms were located, not that I personally tested the plan.

Prices are monthly list prices unless marked as a promotion. Unknown and non-USD prices sort last and do not appear in budget-filtered results. Checkout is the final source for taxes, region, availability and changed terms.

Claude, Gemini and Muse consumer subscriptions are outside this comparison's portable-plan scope. Their models may still be available through another provider. Pay-as-you-go-only services are not counted as subscriptions.

Coverage gaps: smaller resellers such as Standard Compute and DevPass, and additional regional offerings, still need verification. Kimi, NanoGPT, MiMo, xAI, StepFun and GitLab have specific open questions marked on their cards. This page is manually maintained, not a live price feed.
