| Free tier | the platform plan is USD 0 for individuals; free models (Auto Free, kilo-auto/free, and models marked free) cost USD 0 and are limited to 200 requests per hour per IP; paid inference is billed at provider rates from purchased credits or Kilo Pass credits, with a 5% processing fee on credit purchasesunit requests; metered on request-count; the 200 requests per hour limit is per IP address, for anonymous and signed-in requests alike; three free models were listed on 2026-11-02 and the list changes when provider promotions end |

| Limits |
paid models have no gateway rate limit and stop at a zero balance with HTTP 402, and upstream providers may limit them; Teams is USD 15 per user per month, includes no credits and is documented as having no rate limiting at peak; Kilo Pass is a monthly credit subscription of Starter USD 19 (up to USD 26.60 a month in credits), Pro USD 49 (up to USD 68.60) or Expert USD 199 (up to USD 278.60), with a bonus of 10% in month 1, 50% in month 2 and up to 40% after on monthly plans and 50% every month on annual plans, bonus credits expiring at the end of each monthly cycle, paid allotments one calendar year after issuance, and a 5% processing fee on each Pass purchase |
| Binding | request-rate on the free route the 200 requests per hour per IP binds first; on paid models only the credit balance binds |
| Identity | email free models: a Kilo account, made by signing in with an email address, ChatGPT, Google, Apple, GitHub, GitLab, Discord, LinkedIn or Anaconda, with no credit card; the gateway also serves free models with no account, limited per IP, and the CLI falls back to an anonymous provider when it holds no key. Teams: a GitHub account or a Google Workspace company email and a credit card for billing, while the 14-day Enterprise trial needs no card. Kilo Pass and paid credits: unverified: the payment method is behind a sign-up. The provider page names a temporary hold as identity verification without saying when it applies |
| Egress | not applicable |
| Per-object cap | not applicable: a coding subscription meters usage, not objects |
| Interface | cli, rest the kilo CLI runs headless as kilo run --auto "prompt" (autonomous mode, built for CI/CD): --format json emits raw JSON events, -m provider/model picks the model, -c and -s ID continue a session, --attach URL targets a running kilo serve server, and the exit code is 0 on success, 124 on timeout and 1 on error; without --auto a non-interactive run auto-rejects every permission request. KILO_ORG_ID selects a Teams organization for kilo run. The Kilo Gateway takes OpenAI-SDK and Vercel AI SDK requests with a Bearer API key, and free models also with no key. VS Code and JetBrains extensions share the account |
| Tooling | the open-source (MIT) Kilo Code agent, which the user installs as a VS Code or JetBrains extension or as the kilo CLI (npm install -g @kilocode/cli); the hosted Kilo Gateway serves the models and takes the user's own keys for over 30 providers; Cloud Agents run in Kilo-hosted containers |
| Composes with | Auto Free and the gateway's free-model ids are a hosted USD 0 route that needs no card; Kilo credits or Kilo Pass pay for the paid models behind the same account, and the same balance works in the IDE, the CLI, Cloud Agents and the gateway; inference/kilo-gateway holds the gateway's free models and compute/kilo-code holds Cloud Agents |
| Reliability | free models are served by upstream providers that can limit a model on their own; Auto Free may route to providers that log prompts and outputs; the free-model list changes as provider promotions end |
| Notes | Kilo Code is an MIT-licensed coding agent whose platform is free for individuals; Teams adds seats at USD 15 a user a month, and Kilo Pass is an optional monthly credit subscription. Auto Model has three tiers: kilo-auto/free, kilo-auto/efficient and kilo-auto/frontier, and the model list also carries Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, Moonshot and MiniMax models at provider rates. The site footer says Kilo was acquired by Anaconda. |
| Evidence note | documented prices, limits, sign-in methods and the headless command are quoted from first-party pages read on 2026-11-02, and the public model list from a probe of the unauthenticated gateway models endpoint. Nothing was subscribed to, so the Kilo Pass payment method and the free-route quality are unverified. |
