It began as a fork of Gemini CLI and has grown into its own agent: it reads the repository, plans in Plan Mode, edits files, runs commands and tests, and hands side tasks to subagents. The Qwen models get the **deepest integration**, and this stack defaults to them, but Qwen Code speaks the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini APIs too, so GLM, Kimi, MiniMax, DeepSeek, Claude, GPT, and local models served by Ollama or vLLM all work, switchable mid-session.\n\nThe same agent runs in the terminal, in a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux, in VS Code, Zed, and JetBrains, and in an experimental browser interface. A headless mode and TypeScript, Python, and Java SDKs make it scriptable, and an official GitHub Action lets it review pull requests and triage issues when someone mentions it. Skills, memory, MCP servers, LSP, hooks, git worktrees, and a **sandbox** that confines commands to a container or macOS Seatbelt extend and fence in what it does.\n\nMost developers run Qwen Code on **their own computer**, which has to stay on while it works. Its daemon mode shares a running session with a phone browser on the same network through a QR code, including diffs and permission prompts, and chat channels take instructions from Telegram, WeChat, DingTalk, Feishu, and other messaging apps. There are no Alibaba-hosted cloud sessions and no mobile app, though the GitHub Action works on a runner with your machine off. For sessions that run around the clock, the same daemon runs on a **VPS or home server** as a long-lived service behind an access token, and its browser interface connects to it remotely, though the daemon is still marked experimental.\n\nCode lives on GitHub by default, or on GitLab.

Otherwise Qwen Code runs on hardware you keep on: there are no Alibaba-hosted sessions and no mobile app. While your computer stays on, its daemon shares a session with a phone browser on the same network, and chat channels take instructions from Telegram or WeChat.

Qwen Code speaks the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini APIs, so Claude and GPT connect with their own API keys and bill per token; Claude and ChatGPT subscriptions don't apply. DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, MiniMax, and OpenRouter are built into its provider menu, and Ollama or vLLM serve local models for nothing but hardware.

OpenCode has the larger community and OpenCode Go, a $10 flat plan across several labs' open-weight models. Qwen Code is built around Alibaba's models and plans, and goes further on reaching the agent from elsewhere: chat channels for Telegram and Chinese messaging apps, GitHub and GitLab channels, an official GitHub Action, and QR pairing to a phone browser. Its daemon and browser interface are younger than OpenCode's server.",{"question":1029,"answer":1030},"Should I use Alibaba's Coding Plan, Token Plan, or pay per token?","The Coding Plan suits heavy interactive use and is the only one that also covers GLM, Kimi, and MiniMax, but it's a single $50 Pro tier with limited slots restocked daily. The Token Plan's personal editions start far lower and bill in credits, though they're sold for the Singapore region only. Paying per token through Model Studio or another provider suits irregular use, and new Model Studio accounts get a free token allowance to start. The Pricing section has current figures.",{"question":1032,"answer":1033},"Can the Coding Plan power Qwen Code in CI or on a server?","No. Alibaba limits the Coding Plan to interactive use in coding tools and forbids its key in automated scripts or application backends. The GitHub Action, headless runs in CI, and a daemon or chat channel left working unattended on a server all fall on the wrong side of that line. Those need a Token Plan or a per-token API key from Model Studio or another provider, which is one more bill but keeps the subscription safe for your own sessions.",{"summary":1035,"starting_cost_label":1036,"has_free_tier":3,"line_items":1037},"Qwen Code is free and open source, so the bill is the models.
