CloudCode.ONE now has a free tier
CloudCode.ONE now has a free tier — start coding with AI at $0
July 2026
Until now, trying CloudCode.ONE meant topping up at least $2. That barrier is gone: every new and existing account now gets a free tier, no payment method required.
What's included
- [X tokens / $Y worth of credit] per [day/month] on the free tier
- Powered by GLM-4.7-Flash — a fast, capable coding model that's a genuinely good fit for agentic loops, not a crippled demo
- Full API access in both Anthropic and OpenAI formats — point Claude Code, Cline, Roo Code, or OpenCode at
api.cloudcode.one and go
- Automatic vision routing: paste a screenshot or UI mockup and it just works, even on the free tier
- Works out of the box with Harness, our free desktop coding agent for Windows and Ubuntu
No credit card. No trial countdown. [The quota resets every day/month.]
Why a free tier?
CloudCode.ONE is built for indie developers and solopreneurs — people who don't want another $20/month subscription for an AI assistant they use in bursts. Pay-as-you-go pricing already solved the commitment problem, but you still had to pay before you could see whether the models were any good.
Now you don't. Sign up, get an API key, and run real agentic coding sessions on GLM-4.7-Flash in Claude Code or Harness — completely free. When you want more horsepower, DeepSeek V4 Pro is one $2 top-up away.
Getting started in two minutes
- Create an account — your API key is provisioned instantly
- Download Harness and sign in with your browser (no key-copying), or point Claude Code at us:
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.cloudcode.one
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=your-cloudcode-key

- Start coding. Screenshots and mockups in prompts are handled automatically.
When you outgrow the free tier
Top up $2, $5, $10, or $20 whenever you want — credit never expires, and there's still no subscription. Paid credit unlocks DeepSeek V4 Pro with the full 1M-token context window for heavy agentic sessions, plus DeepSeek V4 Flash for subagent tasks. The free quota [stacks with / pauses while you use] paid credit.
