›The vendor's own wording
The only credit statement for a non-paying account is a one-time signup grant under the heading "New User Benefits": "New users receive 250 free credits upon registration and sign-in, credited instantly on first login and valid for 14 days." No recurring free allowance is published anywhere on the international pricing or credits pages.Open the source page
Models included
| Model | Capability | Burn rate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| All premium models | untiered | — | The only model statement on the international pages: every paid tier's feature list reads "• All premium models", with no roster anywhere. |
Subscription versus your own API key
This compares two ways of working the same way — in an IDE or CLI, where BYOK tools make a direct API key a real option. It is not a claim that subscriptions are cheaper than the API in general.
No API price to compare against
Usage terms
Quoted from the vendor's own terms. We do not give legal advice.
The subscription is consumed inside CodeBuddy itself — "Credits are the unit of consumption for AI operations in CodeBuddy. Every interaction consumes credits based on task complexity and model used." — and the plan issues no key of its own for use elsewhere. A third-party model runs on your own credentials, configured through models.json, whose "apiKey" field takes the "API key (actual key value, not environment variable name)".
