Either way, you pay for the model calls. A median coding-agent day on our gateway is 95 requests and 8.6 million tokens. The table prices every step at one model’s rate.
Both run on Standard Compute, where each step goes to the cheapest model that can do it: routine steps go to efficient open models, hard ones to frontier models such as Claude Fable 5.1 or GPT-6 Astra.
| Model | Typical day | Busy day |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Opus 5.5 | $7.34 | $59.10 |
| Claude Sonnet 5.5 | $3.67 | $29.55 |
| GPT-6 Luna | $0.23 | $2.43 |

ompQwen CodeChoose Oh My Pi if you are power users who want IDE-grade tooling (LSP, debuggers, subagents) inside a terminal agent. Choose Qwen Code if you are developers who want a free, Claude Code-style terminal agent that runs Qwen models next to any other provider.
In our editorial scoring, Oh My Pi leads in 4 of six categories (output quality, autonomy, speed and value), while Qwen Code leads in 1 (ease of use). On price, Oh My Pi runs free (mit), bring your own model and is open source; Qwen Code runs free (apache 2.0), bring your own provider and is open source.

More on omp: Can you use your Claude subscription with oh-my-pi or Pi?
Oh My Pi (omp) is Can Bölük's fork of Pi, rewritten as a coding-first surface with a native Rust engine doing the heavy lifting. Where Pi stays deliberately minimal, omp packs an IDE-grade tool surface into the terminal: hash-anchored (hashline) edits that reject stale patches before they corrupt files, LSP-powered diagnostics and refactoring, real debugger control via DAP, persistent Python and JavaScript cells, browser automation, subagents, plan mode, and hindsight memory. It routes across dozens of providers (60+ per its README) by intent and accepts custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints via a models.yml.
Qwen Code is Alibaba's Qwen team's open-source coding agent. It was originally based on Gemini CLI v0.8.2, stopped syncing with upstream at v0.1 and has been developed on its own since, with frequent releases (v0.25.2 on October 15, 2026). It ships subagents, agent teams, skills, hooks, MCP, plan mode, LSP and git worktrees, plus VS Code, JetBrains and Zed plugins, a desktop app and Telegram, DingTalk, WeChat and Feishu channels. Unlike Gemini CLI it speaks the OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini APIs, so any compatible provider works through modelProviders in ~/.qwen/settings.json. The free Qwen OAuth tier ended on April 15, 2026: the tool is still free, and the models come from Alibaba's Coding Plan or Token Plan, a built-in third-party provider, a local model or a custom provider.
