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.

Usage terms
Quoted from the vendor's own terms. We do not give legal advice.
The plan is confined to Zhipu's list of supported coding tools: "套餐仅限在官方支持的指定工具与产品环境中使用。在除规定工具外调用 API， 不可享用 Coding 套餐的额度。" API calls made outside those tools are billed separately: "单独调用 API 是独立计费的，不可享用 Coding 套餐的额度。" OpenClaw is allowed but demoted — "套餐支持 OpenClaw 使用，但采用次级调度与 尽力交付策略，Coding Agent 任务享有资源抢占优先权".
