AI coding tools are becoming increasingly numerous, and developers' bills are getting longer as well.

To achieve better results across different tasks, some people subscribe to Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, or Cursor at the same time; teams also need to additionally maintain API accounts, payment methods, quota reminders, and multiple client configurations. What truly consumes energy is no longer just writing code, but constantly answering these questions:

  • How much exactly have I paid in subscription fees this month?
  • Claude Code has just reached a critical refactoring stage—why is the quota suddenly tight?
  • Which Key does Codex, Kimi Code, and each other Agent use?
  • How much do long contexts, tool calls, and parallel tasks actually consume?
  • When switching models, do I need to reconfigure the endpoint, protocol, and environment variables again?

Developers surrounded by fragmented AI coding subscriptions and quotas

This is not a concern for only a few people. Stack Overflow's 2025 Developer Survey shows that 84% of respondents already use or plan to use AI development tools, and 51% of professional developers use them every day; however, the most common issue for 66% of developers is that AI solutions are “almost correct, but just slightly off,” while 45% believe debugging AI-generated code takes more time. Tool usage is growing, and pressure from costs, validation, and governance is growing in parallel.

The barriers of overseas AI coding products are not just dollar prices

Mainstream products on the market typically use “subscription + usage limits” or Token-based billing.

Using public pricing as examples:

  • Claude Pro costs $20 per month, and Claude Code is included in Pro; Max for high-frequency users starts at $100 per month and comes with usage restrictions.
  • ChatGPT Plus costs $20 per month, while the specific available usage for Codex varies with the plan and task type; the OpenAI API charges separately by model for input, cached input, and output Tokens.
  • GitHub Copilot Pro, Pro+, and higher-tier plans use different monthly fees and AI Credits quotas.
  • Cursor's personal Pro plan has a public price of $20 per month, while higher tiers target heavier Agent usage.
  • The Gemini API likewise distinguishes among multiple billing items, including input, output, context caching, search grounding, and more.

These products each have their own value, but when individuals or teams need to use multiple models at the same time, the pain points accumulate: overseas payments and invoices are fragmented, plan rules differ, balances cannot be viewed in a unified way, limits are difficult to compare across products, and client and API protocols are not completely the same.

A simple solution direction: unify client and model access

Ace Data Cloud's Coding Plan is not intended to recreate another editor, but rather to retain the clients developers are familiar with and consolidate model access, credentials, and usage management into the same Coding application.

Coding Plan currently provides three mainstream interface types:

  1. Claude Messages: compatible with clients such as Claude Code that use the Anthropic Messages protocol;
  2. OpenAI Responses: compatible with Codex Agent workflows;
  3. OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions: serving Kimi Code, OpenClaw, and a variety of clients that support custom Providers.

The official configuration center already covers tools including Claude Code, Codex, Kimi Code, OpenClaw, OpenCode, Aider, Cline, Roo Code, Kilo Code, Continue, Qwen Code, and Hermes Agent. You can continue working in the terminal, VS Code, or JetBrains without being locked into a single client.

One Coding Plan connects multiple coding clients and consolidates usage

Which model ecosystems does Coding Plan include?

Coding Plan is not designed for a single model, but covers multiple mainstream coding model ecosystems. The models actually available should be based on the real-time model catalog returned by Coding credentials.

  • Claude series: excels at code understanding, complex refactoring, cross-file modifications, and long-task collaboration, and is commonly used in Claude Code workflows.
  • GPT / Codex series: emphasizes Agent-style implementation, terminal tool calls, code editing, and validation loops, making it suitable for Codex CLI and IDE scenarios.
  • Gemini series: offers long-context, reasoning, and coding capabilities, making it suitable for large codebase understanding and multimodal development tasks.
  • GLM series: targets general reasoning and coding tasks, providing more options for Chinese development scenarios.
  • Kimi series: emphasizes long context and the Agent user experience, and can be accessed through clients such as Kimi Code.
  • DeepSeek series: balances code, reasoning, and cost efficiency, making it suitable for high-frequency testing, batch tasks, and daily development.
  • Model ecosystems such as Grok: can be used to supplement reasoning and coding needs of different styles; specifics depend on the real-time catalog and client compatibility.

This means that architecture analysis can choose stronger reasoning models, daily completion and testing can choose models with a better balance of speed and cost, and models can also be switched when quotas or task characteristics change—without needing to completely replace the workflow.

Starting at ¥99, all four plan tiers have the same model access

Coding Plan offers four 30-day plan tiers. All tiers have the same range of Coding model access; the main difference lies in the included Credits:

Plan Current Promotional Credits Price Suitable Scenarios
Coding Plus 500 ¥99 Short projects, test coverage, occasional use
Coding Standard 1,600 ¥299 Daily development, multiple repositories, code review
Coding Pro 4,000 ¥699 Continuous Agent use, complex refactoring, high-frequency use
Coding Max 10,000 ¥1,399 Team tasks, multiple Agents, and automation

Current promotional Credits, prices, and eligibility are subject to the checkout page. The promotional plan is valid until September 30, 2026. It should be specifically noted that the Coding Plan is not “unlimited usage.” Uncached input, model output, cache writes, and cache reads are metered separately; long contexts, tool calls, and parallel tasks all affect consumption. The plan does not renew automatically, nor does it automatically fall back to using general balance; renewing before expiration allows remaining Credits to roll over and extends the validity by 30 days, while unused Credits expire after the plan expires.

This boundary is not a disadvantage; instead, it makes cost management clearer: you can start with the ¥99 tier to validate your actual workload, then upgrade based on usage, rather than paying for multiple expensive subscriptions from the start.

Suitable for Individuals, and Also for Teams

For Individual Developers

  • No need to maintain multiple overseas subscriptions to try different models;
  • Keep familiar entry points such as Claude Code, Codex, Kimi Code, or OpenClaw;
  • Validate actual needs starting from ¥99;
  • Choose models by task, rather than being tied to a single plan.

For Technical Teams

  • Manage model access through a unified Coding application;
  • Centrally view per-use consumption, reducing the risk of “only discovering overspending at the end of the month”;
  • Match different models for refactoring, testing, documentation, and automation;
  • Keep clients flexible while establishing clear procurement and usage boundaries.

Start with One Client, Rather Than Migrating All Workflows at Once

It is recommended to first choose one high-frequency scenario for small-scale validation:

  1. Purchase a suitable Coding Plan;
  2. Create a Coding Application and obtain a dedicated API Key;
  3. Open the Coding Plan Configuration Center;
  4. Select the configuration guide for Claude Code, Codex, Kimi Code, or OpenClaw according to the client;
  5. Start with code explanations, unit testing, or small-scale refactoring;
  6. Adjust models and plans based on usage details.

AI programming should not become a subscription management game. A more reasonable approach is to keep the tools you like and regain control over model selection and cost visibility.
