AI Coding Plan Calculator
Which currently tracked plan fits how you use coding agents? Rank published plans, or diagnose a usage problem from the verified metering graph. The tool does not convert credits, messages, or tokens into one score, and it will return insufficient data instead of inventing a recommendation.
How to use this
Choose a plan to rank published subscriptions, or diagnose a usage problem in plain language. You do not need internal pool names. Query-parameter results are not indexable URLs.
Ranked from verified plan facts only. Units are not converted. Organization plans are excluded unless an organization buying context is selected. Numeric allowances are not treated as workload-sufficiency proofs.
- Cline ClinePass — optional access method$9.99/month (Optional ClinePass subscription; not required to use the open-source agent)
Verified price is $9.99/month (Optional ClinePass subscription; not required to use the open-source agent).
Known limit structure: Officially described as 2–5× more usage than standard API rates. ClinePass measures usage against three limits at once: a rolling 5-hour window, the calendar week, and the calendar month. Numeric allowances, timezone, and rollover are Unknown — not publicly disclosed.
Likely bottleneck: unknown
Pool structure: ClinePass — optional access method included usage
Reset visibility: Reset visibility is not documented as a dedicated rule.
At exhaustion: Users can switch to pay-as-you-go Cline billing or BYOK; each option has separate costs and limits.
Time-to-cap: Cannot estimate time-to-cap from current public data.
Main risk: Continuation after included usage can add cost; consumption is not a universal message count.
Unknown: Officially described as 2–5× more usage than standard API rates. ClinePass measures usage against three limits at once: a rolling 5-hour window, the calendar week, and the calendar month. Numeric allowances, timezone, and rollover are Unknown — not publicly disclosed. Numeric pool size is Unknown or approximate; units are not converted across vendors.

- OpenCode OpenCode Go — optional provider$10.00/month (Optional hosted provider; not the price of the open-source agent)
Verified price is $10.00/month (Optional hosted provider; not the price of the open-source agent).
Known limit structure: Go ($10/month): each model has its own monthly usage-value limit, $15–$60 depending on the model; the 5-hour limit is 20% and the weekly limit 50% of it. A $60 model allows $12 / 5 hours and $30 / week.
Likely bottleneck: short-window pool
Pool structure: OpenCode Go — optional provider shortWindow; OpenCode Go — optional provider weekly; OpenCode Go — optional provider monthly
Reset visibility: The official page defines a 5-hour cap; the precise rolling/reset mechanism is not publicly disclosed The official page defines a weekly cap; the precise reset boundary is not publicly disclosed The official page defines a monthly cap; the precise reset boundary is not publicly disclosed
At exhaustion: OpenCode Zen balance can be used beyond Go caps when that option is enabled.
Time-to-cap: Cannot estimate time-to-cap from current public data. Published ranges are not a remaining-quota clock.
Main risk: Continuation after included usage can add cost; consumption is not a universal message count.

- Claude Code Pro$20.00/month ($17/month equivalent when $200 is billed annually)
Verified price is $20.00/month ($17/month equivalent when $200 is billed annually).

Likely bottleneck: short-window pool
Pool structure: Pro five-hour session; Pro weekly limit
Reset visibility: The session-based usage limit resets every five hours. The weekly limit resets at a fixed time assigned to the account. TraceCheck does not invent a UTC weekly clock.
At exhaustion: After the session limit, optional extra usage continues at standard API rates if enabled. Session limits still reset every five hours.
Time-to-cap: Cannot estimate time-to-cap from current public data.
Main risk: Continuation after included usage can add cost; consumption is not a universal message count.

- Codex Plus$20.00/month

Choose a tool and a problem. Diagnose reads the verified metering graph and will return Insufficient rather than guessing which clock emptied.
Diagnose mode
Diagnose is not a remaining-quota calculator. If a tool has both a 5-hour window and a weekly pool, and you only say “I hit a limit,” TraceCheck returns Insufficient and tells you how to distinguish the clocks. Unknown numeric capacity stays Unknown.
Published plans this tool can consider
Crawlable inventory of published plans. Ranking never invents a numeric remaining-quota. Draft and rejected plans are excluded.
