About Qwen pricing
Alibaba's Qwen line. Qwen Chat (chat.qwen.ai) is free with no paid consumer tier; it currently serves the Qwen3.7-Plus flagship. The Qwen Code CLI free OAuth tier was discontinued 2026-04-15; CLI users now need a Model Studio API key, a Coding Plan, or a BYOK provider (OpenRouter, Fireworks, etc.). The Coding Plan offers a Pro tier at $50/mo (the Lite tier stopped accepting new subscriptions on 2026-03-20); the plan is for interactive coding tools only, not batch/automated traffic. Qwen3-Coder models are also pay-as-you-go via Model Studio/DashScope.
