Our review

MonkeyCode is unusually generous for its class: sign up and you get 30 million basic-model tokens every day (refreshed daily), with the base cloud dev environment and AI models free forever — no client download, just open the browser and start. When you need more, paid tiers unlock higher daily quotas: Pro ¥99/mo (~$15, ~100M tokens/day) and Ultra ¥499/mo (~$60, ~300M tokens/day, flagship models included) — check the official pricing page for exact figures. It is also fully open-source with self-hosting support, so code and data stay in your own environment, with multiple mainstream models supported — a fit for teams that care about compliance and data sovereignty.

Versus consumer tools like Cursor or Copilot, its community and ecosystem are younger and the docs are still maturing; but if you need a deployable, auditable, customizable team-grade AI coding base, MonkeyCode is a rare open-source option.
