I agree that the current pricing policy is uncompetitive, and it’s a shame that nothing is being done about it. It’s unclear how credits are spent, and they run out very quickly. Until they change the credit expenditure or limit, I don’t see the point in using Qoder. For £20, I can pay for Copilot and Trae and get much, much more productivity.
Hello, friend! Thank you for your support and feedback! First of all, we have now introduced paid features, and through technical optimizations, the durability of credits has been increased by one-third, which is different from when they were free at the beginning. We are about to launch detailed consumption records for credits.
My current feeling is that a Pro plan requires around 4,000 credits to be competitive. 2,000 credits is really too little, and it’s still used up very quickly. My GitHub Copilot Pro plan has 300 requests, which lasts a month and doesn’t run out. However, Qoder uses over 200 credits a day, and it’s gone in less than a month.
The same happend with me that I consumed credits in half a day. Later I studied Qoder in details and understood why this was hapenning. It was running unnecessary commands, doing unnecessary things, writing unnecessary md files, etc. Was just out of control.
Therefore, I have already placed a request on Flatrate here:
This is perhaphs the most viable rate for using Qoder. If this does not happen, other users will use services offered by competitors.
Even teh discounted price of 10 $ is too much.
Let the management realize their own huge mistake in experimenting with price structure. Their choice. By then they realize, they would have lost a huge number of clients, who were inspired to use Qoder during its launching phase. The management did not think of rewarding us for constant reports on bugs and feature request.
In fact, they should have given all users during the trial period a huge discount and could have made it almost free s a thankyou.
Exactly. I have been actively participating in reporting bugs and other flaws and without any appreciation I now see myself subscribing to their plan for $20 for 2000 credits.
When Qoder was being nasty and childish, I sent bug reports 10–25 times a day. Now that I realise there’s a 50% discount for the first month, I think it would have been better to send fewer reports in exchange for such a small discount.
However, I was wondering what the reward would be. Even if Qoder management offered us $1 per day for their pro account, that would only amount to $30 per month. I achieved the same results with agentic coding from competitors for less than half the price.
Qoder is different in that they remember things, however. That makes a difference. Let me say this is a programming feature inside the IDE and not the LLM. Charging for this feature on a per-call basis makes using their IDE rather than the LLM too expensive. Therefore, I think management has made a huge mistake by setting the monthly price so high for such a small number of credits for simple tasks.
Many active Qoder users have found that 2,000 credits are used up in half a day. This simply does not work.
Newcomers will realise this in their first month and become extremely frustrated. I am writing here because I had already begun to love the concept of this programme. However, the beauty of Qoder no longer justifies the price.
I would like to invite everyone to vote on my post (linked above, as the admins have enabled this feature. I am very grateful to the admins for that. However, user cooperation is required. If more votes come in, it may prompt the management to reconsider their pricing structure.
This is indeed the same problem that GitHub Copilot encountered at the beginning, but GitHub Copilot has improved on this issue. A single request can be used until the task is finished, unless it hits a limit. Therefore, the 10 USD for 300 requests can be used for a longer time compared to qoder’s 2000 Credits, making it a better value.
