Moonshot AI has two subscriptions archetypes and the one they link to from their main page is the subscription for the web interface/research/agents/OpenClaw (that they host for you)

There is a small link below the tiles for these plans saying something "looking to use it for code? Use Kimi code" and upon clicking you'll get a basically identically looking subscription page with different sub prices and more quota

Non coding plans:

   * Plus (19 "base agent" -- wahtever that might be)
   * Pro (39 x2 )
   * Max (99 x6)
   * Ultra (199 x12)
> https://www.kimi.com/membership/pricing

Coding plans:

    * Starter (19 - "base coding")
    * Explorer (49 - x4)
    * Expert (99 x10)
    * Master (219 x25)
> https://www.kimi.com/code

I stumbled on that when i tried Kimi K2.5 back when that was released.

It's also worth mentioning that the $20 get you a 0.25 priority for API usage - because the others get x4 priority. So get ready for a _slow_ experience

Thank you so much. I was about to ask you for links, since they have multiple domains that look similar (kimi.ai, kimi.com, moonshot.ai, etc.). I wasn't sure which one was the legit one, or if they all are.

The plan I got is called "Moderato", which somehow isn't any of those 8... I'll try to read more about it.

That doesn’t appear to be the case anymore. They just have one set of plans: Allegreto, modereto, etc which apply to both the chat app and the coding apps.

Can confirm, I see these monthly prices on both pages:

Moderato: 19 USD or 15 USD annually

Allegretto: 39 USD or 31 USD annually

Allegro: 99 USD or 79 USD annually

Vivace: 199 USD or 159 USD annually

However, they're saying that the plans might get split up again:

> New Membership Plans Coming Soon

> Kimi and Kimi Code benefits will be separated. Existing subscribers are unaffected.

> You can still buy the current plan before launch.

Same as with the Tweet:

> Going forward, we'll also split membership into two more focused plans: Kimi Membership for Kimi Web, App, and Work; and Kimi Code Membership for coding workflows. This will help us match compute more precisely and keep the experience stable.

Problem is I don't know whether to pull the trigger on the annual Vivace now or wait for after the split - whether it's gonna be a cash grab afterwards on the account of the demand, or whether I might save some money if I buy it after the split.
