GLM Coding China open.bigmodel.cn https://open.bigmodel.cn/pricing Zhipu AI's GLM platform bigmodel.cn, also served at open.bigmodel.cn sells model access per token in CNY and bundles agentic coding into a separate GLM Coding Plan. The official pricing page lists GLM-5.3 at 8 yuan per million input tokens, 2 yuan per million cached tokens and 28 yuan per million output tokens with a 1M-token context, and GLM-5.3-Flash at 0.8 / 0.23 / 2.8 yuan. New accounts receive 20 million free tokens on registration, and the text model GLM-4.7-Flash 200K context and vision model GLM-4.6V-Flash are listed as free for input, output and cache. The GLM Coding Plan shows 118 yuan/month Lite , 538 yuan/month Pro and 1078 yuan/month Max , with discounted continuous-subscription prices of 94.4 / 430.4 / 862.4 yuan and quarterly billing at 8-fold and annual at 7-fold discounts. // pros - Two API models are priced at zero: GLM-4.7-Flash 200K context and GLM-4.6V-Flash are stated as free for input, output and cache on the official pricing page. - New-user grant of 20 million tokens: the pricing page states new registrations receive 20,000,000 tokens, with up to 200 million tokens reachable through the referral programme. - GLM Coding Plan Lite is 118 yuan/month list 94.4 yuan on the discounted continuous options and includes 10,000 credits per week plus support for 20+ coding tools including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode. - Tier scaling is explicit: Pro is 6x the Lite usage allowance and Max 14x, with quarterly billing at an 8-fold discount and annual at 7-fold. - Flagship GLM-5.3 offers a 1M-token context at 8 yuan per million input and 28 yuan per million output tokens, and the Batch API is billed at 50% of standard rates. // cons - The 20 million tokens are a one-time registration bonus, not a recurring free allowance; no perpetual free chat tier is documented. - Coding-plan quota is expressed as 10,000 credits per week, so sustained agent use is capped and the allowance resets weekly. - All prices are quoted in CNY on a Chinese-language console; no USD list price appears on the pages fetched. - Cache storage is marked free for a limited time only, signalling that the zero-cost cache component is temporary. Start with GLM-4.7-Flash and GLM-4.6V-Flash for zero-cost prototyping, then add GLM Coding Plan Lite 94.4 yuan/month on continuous billing if you want Claude Code-style agent work, moving to Pro or Max only when the weekly credit allowance becomes the bottleneck. imported analysis — independent third party, not Uprouter editorial · verify before relying on it Free tier present — value not quantified This provider offers a free tier, but its terms don’t convert cleanly into a USD figure e.g. request-count limits or capacity-dependent pools .
