Free tiers

What coding agents actually give you for free

Straight answers on free plans and paid upgrades for tools you already use. No invented earnings, no "Pro for free" claims. Where Awaitful fits, the money is exact: one sponsored line while a supported agent thinks, you keep 70% of what advertisers pay, and payouts are United States only today.

What these pages cover

Coding agents that run in editors and terminals - the wait you already sit through. Browser-only chat products are out of scope until Awaitful has a surface there.

If you only need free-tier facts, stop after the plan table. Awaitful is optional, and it never claims to cover a Pro subscription every month.
