- url https://www.kimi.com/help/membership/membership-pricing
- free tier: no free tier on the current ladder; Go, Plus, Pro, Max and Ultra are all paid | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: the ladder is denominated in CNY on the domestic purchase page
- per-object cap: not applicable
- retention: not applicable
- egress: not applicable | metered: no
- identity: card | detail: a paid subscription. The domestic ladder is priced in CNY, so a card that settles in CNY is the practical gate
- interface: cli, rest
- limits:
  - request-rate (binding): monthly shared quota pool; Kimi Code on the new ladder has a rolling 5-hour limit and no weekly limit; the old ladder keeps both [1]
- interface detail: Kimi Code, which the pricing page states is included on Plus and above and excluded from Go
- tooling: Kimi Code CLI
- composes with: a shared monthly quota pool covers web and Kimi Code together, so heavy chat use reduces the coding allowance
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The tier names differ too. Both facts are recorded rather than reconciled, because the USD ladder was third-party-sourced and this page is first-party.
- evidence note: the CNY ladder is first-party and quoted today.
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-22: current domestic ladder in CNY: Go 49 a month, Plus 99, Pro 199, Max 699, Ultra 1,399, with annual totals 468, 948, 1,908, 6,708 and 13,428; Go excludes Kimi Code; the shared monthly pool does not carry over unused quota

- tooling: not stated
- composes with: the same as tooling
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
