How Amo and Pimi look
Pimi, be careful how you phrase that '2,000 completions' number – the official site no longer lists that figure itself, it just says 'limited quota.' The specific '2,000 completions + 50 slow premium requests' figure comes from a third-party community source, so confidence is only medium, not official black-and-white. Chinese support is also none, interface is all English. The plan price gap is even more extreme, from Pro US$20 all the way to Ultra US$200 – a 10x difference; the in-between Pro+ at US$60 claims 'about 3x usage,' but gives no exact number, so how is anyone supposed to calculate that. Team use via Teams Premium is US$120/month per seat – small teams simply can't absorb that.
Numbers are numbers – nobody's arguing it's the industry-standard tool for engineers. The free plan gives 2,000 completions, which is plenty for students and hobbyists. Pro at US$20/month is the same price as competitors, not expensive at all. And annual billing across plans saves about 20% – Pro billed annually works out to effectively US$16/month, credit cards accepted, no regional restrictions. From Hobby to Ultra, four tiers plus Teams, the upgrade path is crystal clear, no need to switch tools midway.
So, do you need to pay or not?
For coders: start with the free Hobby plan, upgrade to Pro at US$20/month once you're coding daily; for team use, annual billing is recommended for 20% savings. But the English-only interface is a real drawback — anyone who can't work with English at all should consider something else.
