| Free tier | no free plan is listed. The plan page lists one paid plan: Pro at USD 50 a month for up to 6,000 requests per 5 hours, 45,000 requests per week and 90,000 requests per month. The Lite plan closed to new subscriptions on 2026-03-20 unit requests; metered on request-count; one request is one model call: a simple task uses 5 to 10 calls and a complex task 10 to 30 or more. The plan bills monthly only and does not switch to pay-as-you-go when the quota ends |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
the three request caps apply at once and the first one reached pauses calls; Pro is the only plan that new subscribers can buy |
| Binding | request-rate three request caps apply at once and the first one reached pauses calls, and the plan counts model calls, where one agent task spends 5 to 30 or more calls |
| Identity | card The plan is bought with an Alibaba Cloud international account. Sign-up needs an email address. Completing sign-up needs a mobile number from outside the Chinese mainland, a payment method and a billing address, and the registration guide states that virtual credit cards are not supported. Identity verification is not part of the sign-up that buys cloud resources outside the Chinese mainland. An anonymous read of the purchase URL returns the Alibaba Cloud sign-in page. What the checkout asks beyond the sign-up fields: unverified: behind a sign-up |
| Egress | not applicable |
| Interface | rest, cli OpenAI-compatible base URL https://coding-intl.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1 and Anthropic-compatible base URL https://coding-intl.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/apps/anthropic, with a plan key that starts with sk-sp-. Supported models: qwen3.7-plus, qwen3.6-plus, kimi-k2.5, glm-5 and MiniMax-M2.5, and also qwen3.5-plus; models not on the list are not supported. The plan supports the Chat Completions and Messages protocols and not the Responses API. The vendor FAQ states the plan works inside programming tools and not from curl, Postman or Dify |
| Tooling | the clients that the vendor documents with plan base URLs: Claude Code, Qwen Code, Cursor and OpenClaw among others; the user sets the plan key and the plan base URL in the client |
| Composes with | the plan key replaces the pay-as-you-go key inside a coding client such as Qwen Code or Claude Code; the quota never falls back to pay-as-you-go, so a key recorded under inference continues the work after the quota ends |
| Reliability | Pro slots sell first come, first served with a daily restock at 00:00:00 UTC+08:00, so a plan can be sold out; a lapsed plan cannot be renewed and needs a new purchase; at high platform load the vendor queues, throttles or briefly interrupts an account; a key used by scripts or application backends can be suspended or revoked |
| Notes | Pro is the only plan that new subscribers can buy. The Lite plan closed to new subscriptions on 2026-03-20 and to renewals and upgrades on 2026-04-13. The vendor sells the Token Plan as a separate product with no migration between the two, and describes Coding Plan Pro as a limited-quantity offer that is no longer available once sold out. The China site sells the same quota at CNY 200 a month under a separate account system. The quota is the vendor's published number and was not measured |
| Evidence note | documented price, quota windows, base URLs, model list and usage rules are quoted from the vendor documentation read on 2026-11-02, and the registration fields from the vendor account guide. No plan was bought, so the quota is the vendor's number and not a measurement. The purchase page needs a signed-in account, so slot stock and the checkout fields are unverified: behind a sign-up |
