Pricing note

Free and open source (MIT). The agent itself has no subscription; you pay DeepSeek API usage per token, with a cache-first design intended to cut long-session costs. Check the official docs for current provider rates and limits.

Checked Aug 12, 2026. Verify the current plan, credits, output limits, and commercial terms before purchasing.

Trade-offs to check

  • Requires DeepSeek API access; you pay per token for actual usage.
  • Terminal-first: no visual editor UI; pairs with your existing editor.
  • Actively developed open-source project — features and stability can change quickly.
  • Independent open-source project; not an official product of DeepSeek or any listed provider.
