[Review] Coze Pricing: Free Tier Gives 10 Credits a Day, but Taiwan Users Can't Pay to Upgrade

Coze is a no-code AI agent builder — drag-and-drop tools for making chatbots and automated workflows without writing code, then publishing them across chat platforms. We read every number on its official pricing page so you don’t have to, and the pricing itself turned out to be the easy part. The real story is what happens when a Taiwan-based user actually tries to pay.

Coze runs on “credits” — a point system where every AI model call, every plugin call, drains a certain number of credits from your daily allowance. Different models cost different amounts, so your real-world usage depends entirely on which model your bot calls, not just which plan you’re on.

What the free plan actually covers

The free plan is US$0 a month. It gives you 10 credits a day, reset each morning, plus room for 5 collaborators (teammates with edit access to the same bot) and 3 shared bots or workflows. Coze’s official page doesn’t say whether unused credits carry over to the next day — a gap we flag below.

Here’s where it gets uneven. Cheap models — GPT-3.5, Claude 3 Haiku, GPT-4o mini — cost just 0.1 credits per call, so 10 credits stretches to roughly 100 calls a day. Gemini 1.5 Flash costs 0.25 credits per call, good for about 40 calls. But step up to GPT-4o (8k), Claude 3 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, or Claude 3.5 Sonnet v2, and each call costs 2 credits — your 10-credit budget covers about 5 calls a day. GPT-4 Turbo (128k), GPT-4o (128k), and GPT-5 cost 5 credits each, so you get roughly 2 calls a day. DeepSeek-R1 costs 3 credits, around 3 calls a day. And o1-preview costs 12 credits per call — more than the entire daily free allowance — so the free tier can’t run it at all: zero calls a day, confirmed directly in Coze’s own numbers.

Plugins eat credits too: Bing Web Search and Stable Diffusion cost 1 credit per call, WebPilot 2 credits, Leonardo 2.5 credits, and DALLE 3 costs 10 credits per call — a single AI image generation that uses nearly your whole daily free budget.

The two paid tiers — and the Taiwan catch

Two paid plans sit above the free tier. Premium Lite is US$9 a month for 100 credits a day, 10 collaborators, and 10 shared bots or workflows — ten times the free tier’s credits, and enough to call o1-preview 8 times a day instead of zero. Premium is US$19 a month for 400 credits a day, 50 collaborators, and 50 shared bots or workflows — four times Premium Lite’s credits, enough for 200 daily calls to GPT-4o (8k) versus 50 on Premium Lite.

Illustration: The subscription tiers are fully visible on display, yet the payment step blocks checkout completely.

On paper, that’s a clean two-tier ladder. In practice, if you’re signing up from Taiwan, neither matters yet. Coze’s own premium page carries a banner reading “Payment service currently unavailable in Russia and Taiwan,” and clicking the Premium Lite button in Taiwan shows “Payment not supported” instead of a checkout flow. There’s no annual billing option on the official page either, and no discount codes or promo offers listed anywhere.

No workaround, no fine print you’re missing

Credits earned on paid plans can be used to offset model costs on the Coze Store, Telegram, and Discord channels, but not on Instagram, Messenger, Slack, or Line — those channels don’t draw from the same credit pool. Chatting through Cici or Lark doesn’t consume credits at all, though message volume there is capped (Coze doesn’t publish the exact number). Paid plans also come with one free trial per account, and you need to cancel at least one hour before the trial ends to avoid being charged — standard subscription housekeeping, but worth knowing before you click anything.

🔍 AMPM exclusive check

The gap here isn’t in the numbers — it’s in what the pricing page shows versus what actually happens when you act on it. Coze’s plan comparison table displays Premium Lite and Premium side by side with full feature lists, credits, and collaborator counts, exactly like any other region would see. Nothing on the comparison grid itself warns a Taiwan visitor that they can’t buy in. You only discover that by clicking “upgrade” and watching the Premium Lite button return “Payment not supported” — a detail that lives in the button’s behavior, not in the pricing table where you’d expect to read it. We checked this directly on coze.com/premium.

We also chased down a couple of claims circulating in third-party writeups — a “Premium Plus” tier at US$39 a month, and a “3-day free trial” offer. Neither appears anywhere on Coze’s official pricing or subscription pages as of our check. We’re treating both as outdated and leaving them out of this review rather than repeating secondhand numbers we couldn’t confirm firsthand.

One more thing the official page stays silent on: whether unused daily credits roll over. If you don’t use your 10 free credits today, Coze doesn’t say whether tomorrow you get 10 fresh ones or 10 plus leftovers. Budget around it assuming they don’t.

☀️ AMO, the budget-minded cat

Ten credits a day sounds thin, and for most of what you’d actually want to test, it is. If your bot only calls GPT-3.5, GPT-4o mini, or Claude 3 Haiku, you get about 100 calls a day for free — plenty to build and poke at a simple chatbot. The moment your workflow needs GPT-4o, Claude 3 Opus, or GPT-5, you’re down to 2-5 calls a day, which is barely enough to sanity-check a prompt, let alone run a workflow. o1-preview is a flat no on free — its 12-credit cost exceeds your entire daily budget.

Is paying worth it? Premium Lite’s US$9 a month for 100 credits a day — ten times the free allowance — looks like a reasonable jump if you’re actually building something. Premium’s US$19 for 400 credits a day makes sense once you’re running heavier models daily. But none of that math matters if you’re in Taiwan: the upgrade button just tells you payment isn’t supported. Right now, Taiwan-based budget users aren’t choosing not to pay — they can’t. There’s also no yearly plan to lock in savings even where payment does work, so “is it worth it” stays a hypothetical for a chunk of AMPM’s readership until that block lifts.

🌙 PIMI, the performance-minded cat

Coze’s model menu is genuinely broad — GPT-3.5 through GPT-5, the full GPT-4o family, GPT-4 Turbo, Claude 3 Haiku/Sonnet/Opus, Claude 3.5 Sonnet v2, Gemini 1.5 Flash and Pro, o1-mini, o1-preview, and DeepSeek-R1, all inside one no-code builder. For anyone comparing model outputs without writing integration code for each one separately, that range is the strongest thing Coze has going for it.

But the credit system throttles exactly the models performance-minded users care about most. GPT-5, GPT-4 Turbo (128k), and GPT-4o (128k) are capped at roughly 2 calls a day free, and even on Premium (400 credits/day) you’re working within a shared daily pool across every model and plugin your bot touches — generate one DALLE 3 image at 10 credits, and on the free tier that’s your whole day gone. On Premium Lite’s 100 credits, that’s still just 10 DALLE 3 images a day, nothing more.

The upside: paid tiers scale those limits meaningfully, not cosmetically. Going from Premium Lite to Premium doesn’t just add a bit of headroom — GPT-4o (8k) calls jump from 50 to 200 a day, a real 4x. If you can actually pay for it, Coze’s ceiling is high. The catch is the same one AMO hits: in Taiwan, that ceiling is currently unreachable regardless of budget, because the payment button itself refuses the transaction.

Verdict: who should use it, who should skip it

Coze earns its keep if you want to prototype AI agents across a wide range of models without writing code, and you’re on the free tier testing with cheap models like GPT-3.5 or GPT-4o mini — 100 calls a day is workable for that. It also earns its keep for teams outside Taiwan and Russia who need serious daily volume on heavier models and are willing to pay US$19 a month for 400 credits a day and room for 50 collaborators.

Skip it, for now, if you’re in Taiwan and were hoping to pay your way past the 10-credit daily free limit — the official checkout flow actively blocks you, not just discourages you. Skip it too if your workflow depends on o1-preview or routine image generation through DALLE 3; the credit costs on those are steep enough that even Premium’s 400 credits a day disappear fast. And if you were going by secondhand claims of a cheaper “Premium Plus” plan or a short free trial, those aren’t on the official page — don’t plan around them.
