QCode has four options: the personal plan, Pay-as-you-go Packs, the Enterprise Team plan and the Partner program. Whichever you pick, the cr_ key works the same way: you enter it into Claude Code, Codex or any other tool in the same way, and usage is billed per token, with per-model rates listed on qcode.cc/models. The differences are how the quota is granted, how long it lasts and who uses it.
The four options side by side¶
| Personal plan | Pay-as-you-go Packs | Enterprise Team | Partner | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quota form | Daily quota, resets at 00:00 Beijing time (booster packs if it is not enough); Ultimate has a monthly total quota | One total quota for the validity period, used until it runs out, no daily reset | Quota per account resource, see the Enterprise guide | Prepaid balance, with a discount multiplier by partner level |
| Validity | The period you bought (months) | Week Pack 7 days / Month Pack 30 days / 2-Month Pack 60 days / Quarter Pack 90 days | The period you bought, see the enterprise page | Prepaid balance, see the partner page |
| Concurrency | 5 per key | 5 | 35 per account resource; 3 people per account recommended, up to 7 sharing one | Set by you for each sub-key |
| Resale | No | No | No | Yes, create sub-keys and sell them |
| Fits | Individual developers who use it every day | Stretches of use, no monthly subscription | Teams sharing access, bank transfer available | Reselling QCode to your own customers |
Three questions to pick one¶
Answer in order; the first question that matches decides.
Question 1: Who will use it?
- A team sharing access → Enterprise Team
- You want to resell keys to your own customers → Partner program
- Only me → go to question 2
Question 2: How often do you use it?
- Every day (daily development) → a personal plan, starting with Starter; the quota resets every day
- Only for stretches of time, or you do not want a monthly subscription → go to question 3
Question 3: How long do you plan to use it?
| You plan to use it for | Pick | Price | Quota | Validity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| About a week | Week Pack | ¥25 / $4 | $30 | 7 days |
| About a month | Month Pack | ¥60 / $9 | $80 | 30 days |
| About two months | 2-Month Pack | ¥120 / $18 | $180 | 60 days |
| About three months | Quarter Pack | ¥200 / $30 | $330 | 90 days |
Buy on qcode.cc/pay-as-you-go. For the rules (stacking on renewal, expiry, recovery after expiry) see Pay-as-you-go Packs.
If you are not sure, start with the Week Pack for a week. If you later want a personal plan, just buy it; an existing pack keeps working until it expires.
About top-up amounts¶
- The minimum CNY top-up is ¥100; packs start at ¥25, and the balance left after buying can be used to renew a pack or to buy a personal plan.
- The minimum USD top-up is $1.
After you choose¶
- Get your
cr_key in the Dashboard, see the Dashboard guide. - Configure your tool with the one-click script or Endpoints and API paths.
- When the quota runs out you get HTTP 402, see the error reference.
