GLM Coding Plan

GLM Coding Plan is Zhipu's subscription for using GLM models inside coding tools. Rechecked 2026-08-17: z.ai/subscribe sells Lite $10 / month ($8 billed yearly), Pro $30 / month ($24 yearly), and Max $60 / month ($48 yearly). Extra usage packs are $10 / 100 on Lite and $30 / 300 on Pro and Max. The old page said $3 / month unlimited GLM-4.7. That SKU is not on the table we opened.

Compare the model pages GLM-5.3 and GLM-5.2 if you wanted API weights, and Claude Code if you wanted Anthropic's own agent instead of a Zhipu seat.

Key Features

• Seat for tools, not a new IDE: The subscribe page is a model plan you plug into Claude Code, Cline, Cursor, OpenClaw, and other listed clients.
• GLM-5 line: The live compare table includes GLM-5, not a frozen GLM-4.7 catalog. Recheck which SKU your client actually sends.
• Quota plus top-up: Lite / Pro / Max are monthly pools. Extra packs sit on the same page.
• Not MIT weights: The Coding Plan is a hosted subscription. Open weights live on the model pages.

Use Cases

• People who already live in Claude Code or Cline and want a cheaper GLM seat than Anthropic's own plan.
• Teams comparing Lite $10 vs Pro $30 after they see weekly quota burn.
• Users who still have a $3 GLM-4.7 bookmark and need the current table.

Limitation: "Unlimited" and the LiveCodeBench / SWE-bench percentages from the old page are out. We did not re-verify first-month discounts or token-per-week math beyond the public rows.

Pricing

z.ai/subscribe on 2026-08-17. Recurring monthly first.

If a leftover blog still says $3 / ¥20 unlimited, ignore it.

Getting Started

1. Open z.ai/subscribe and start on Lite only long enough to see weekly quota.
2. Point Claude Code, Cline, or Cursor at the Zhipu endpoint before you buy Max.
3. Recheck GLM-5.3 if you wanted API or weights instead of this seat.
4. Do not paste 84.9% LiveCodeBench into a deck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it still $3 unlimited?

No. The live public rows are Lite $10, Pro $30, and Max $60.

Is the model still GLM-4.7?

The subscribe table we opened includes GLM-5. Use the model pages for the current flagship name.

Same as Claude Code?

No. This is a Zhipu model subscription. Claude Code is Anthropic's agent. You can point some agents at this plan.

Alternatives

• Claude Code: Anthropic's own agent across terminal, IDE, and desktop.
• Cursor: AI IDE with its own $20 / $40 seats.
• GLM-5.3: Current Zhipu flagship model page, not this subscription.

Tips

1. Quote $10 / $30 / $60 from the recurring column.
2. Do not call it unlimited GLM-4.7.
3. Recheck extra-pack prices before you assume overage is cheap.

Conclusion

GLM Coding Plan is a priced Zhipu seat for coding tools, not a $3 unlimited GLM-4.7 SKU. Start at z.ai/subscribe, then decide whether Claude Code or GLM-5.3 already covers the access you need.
