$0: bring your own key
Exvisit's Free plan is the full desktop coding agent with your own API keys. Pair it with a low-cost model like DeepSeek, GLM or Qwen — or a free local model — and you can code with an agent for close to nothing.
Best BYOK coding agentsAround $1: Exvisit Lite
Lite is ₹150/month (≈ $1.50) with 150 cloud credits and managed model access — no keys to manage. It is the closest you will get to a $1 coding agent subscription.
Under $10: Exvisit Mini
Mini is ₹650/month (≈ $6.50) with 650 cloud credits — enough for regular daily use with low-cost models, and room for frontier models on harder tasks.
Around $15: Exvisit Pro
Pro is ₹1,500/month (≈ $15) with 1,500 cloud credits — still below the typical $20 entry price of premium coding agents.
- Credits are spent at each model's live price.
- Renew within 5 days of expiry to carry half your unused credits forward.
- Pay with UPI, net banking, Indian cards or international cards.
What you get at every price
Every plan, including Free, is the same Exvisit Studio: an agent that plans and edits across your repository like Claude Code or Codex, a VS Code-style editor with inline diff approval like Cursor, and local compile checks on every edit.
