Qoder is Alibaba's agentic coding platform, covering a desktop app, an IDE, a JetBrains plugin and a command line tool, where agents plan, edit, run and test code, drive a browser and the desktop, and hand back diffs for review. Cloud Agents add a managed runtime driven through an API, QoderWake runs background agents on schedules and repository events, and credit based plans start with a free tier and Lite at $10 a month.

Qoder is Alibaba's agentic coding platform, launched in August 2025 and sold through Bright Zenith Private Limited of Singapore, and it says more than six million builders use it. One subscription covers a desktop app, which reached version 1.0 in May 2026, an IDE, a JetBrains plugin and a command line tool, and around them sit Cloud Agents, a managed runtime that teams drive through an API, and QoderWake, which runs background agents it calls Wakers.

In the desktop app and IDE, the agent reads the codebase, plans, edits files, runs commands and tests, and hands back a diff for the developer to review, commit and push; Experts Mode splits a task between a lead agent, an engineer, a QA agent, a browser operator and a reviewer. It can drive a built in browser, control the desktop on macOS and Windows, and record and replay browser steps.

A vector index of the codebase, Repo Wiki pages and a knowledge base ground its work, and global and project memories, rules files and AGENTS.md carry context between sessions. Cloud Agents run the same loop in an isolated container per session, with custom tools, versioned memory stores, cron deployments, an evaluator that grades results against a rubric, and SDKs for Python, TypeScript, Go and Java; the API is labeled beta. QoderWake Wakers pick up work on a schedule, on repository issue and pull request events, through an API call, or from an @mention in team chat.

Pricing runs on credits: a free plan, Lite at $10 a month for 1,000 credits, Pro at $20 for 2,000, Pro+ at $60 for 6,000 and Ultra at $200 for 20,000, with a 14 day Pro trial, and Teams at $40 per seat with 3,000 credits each. Users pick a model or an Auto routing tier across Qwen, DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi and MiniMax models, or bring their own keys from other providers. Qoder holds SOC 2 Type II, states ISO 27001 certification, offers SAML and OIDC single sign on on Teams, and stores data in the US, Singapore and Japan.

It fits development teams that want one vendor for an IDE, a terminal agent, background agents and an agent runtime they can program against, at a low credit price; its case studies include XPeng, Hisense and 51job. It fits less well for buyers who need to choose where data is stored, who need SCIM provisioning, or who want a published trust center to review before buying, and teams on GitLab or Jira will find no native integration for either.

Integrations

MCP client support over stdio, SSE, HTTP and WebSocket, with a marketplace of skills, plugins and connectors including Linear, Postman, Notion, Grafana, MongoDB and Semgrep. Cloud Agents work with GitHub repositories, custom client tools and the A2A protocol. Team chat channels include Slack, Microsoft Teams, DingTalk, Lark, WeChat, WeCom and WhatsApp. IDE and plugin coverage includes IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm and WebStorm, and Teams plans can be bought through Alibaba Cloud Marketplace.

In practice

A developer asks Qoder to add rate limiting to an API. Experts Mode's lead agent plans the change, the engineer writes it, the QA agent runs the tests, and the developer reviews the diff before committing.

A team sets a QoderWake task to fire whenever a bug is labeled in its repository. The Waker reproduces the bug, drafts a fix on a branch, and posts the result in the team's chat for a person to merge.

A platform team uses the Cloud Agents API to run nightly dependency upgrades across its services, with an Outcomes rubric that checks the build passes and sends the agent back for another pass when it does not.

Workflow Orchestration Full

Experts Mode splits a task among named roles: a lead agent plans, a full stack engineer implements, a QA agent runs tests and builds, a UI operator checks the result in a browser and a code reviewer reviews it. The command line tool runs subagents and headless jobs in CI. QoderWake groups Wakers under a leader and runs multistage work through WakerFlow, and Cloud Agents deployments run saved agent configurations on a schedule or on demand.

Knowledge Grounding & RAG Full

Each repository with fewer than 10,000 files is indexed automatically, with only vector data kept in the cloud and exclusions set in a .qoderignore file. Repo Wiki generates documentation pages and knowledge cards from the code, exports them into the repository, shares them through Git and updates them automatically as the code changes. A knowledge base holds uploaded files at user or workspace scope for the agent to search while it works.

Human Oversight & Guardrails Full

By default the desktop app asks before every action, with auto approve and full access as opt in modes that admins can switch off. The command line tool adds allow, ask and deny rules and lets admins disable its bypass mode, and Cloud Agents set each tool to always allow, always ask or always deny. Work runs in a sandbox that can write only to the workspace, plans can be approved from a phone, and changes come back as a diff to review before commit.

Security, Identity & Governance Full

Teams and Enterprise accounts sign in through SAML 2.0 or OIDC with automatic provisioning by email domain, and roles cover Admin, Config Admin, Member and Directory Member, with admin control over models and MCP servers. Qoder holds SOC 2 Type II for security, availability and confidentiality and states ISO 27001 certification. Users can opt out of sharing data for product improvement, depending on plan, and data with identifiers removed is kept for up to five years.

Observability & Auditability Full

Cloud Agents keep a full event history for each session, streamed live, including the credits spent on every model call, and QoderWake keeps a record of every run. Teams and Enterprise analytics show the share of committed code written with AI, retained lines and completion acceptance. Enterprise adds an audit log of administrative actions, which records configuration changes and leaves out user content.

Memory & State Persistence Full

Global and project memories persist across sessions and can be viewed and cleared in settings, with low scoring memories pruned over time. The command line tool reads AGENTS.md at user, project and local level and can save memories automatically when switched on. Cloud Agents keep memory stores that are versioned, can be redacted and last until deleted, and Wakers keep personal, project, group and member memory in an editable file whose earlier versions can be restored.

Deployment & Data Residency Full

Data sits on servers in the United States, Singapore and Japan, with no region picker, and a separate service runs for mainland China. Teams that need execution on their own machines can run Cloud Agents in a self hosted environment that uses the customer's own workers, and QoderWake can be installed on the customer's own Linux server, so the agent's work runs inside infrastructure the customer controls.

Prebuilt Agents / Templates / Packs Full

A marketplace sells skills, plugins and connectors, with more than 20,000 skills and over 100 plugins on offer, and enterprises can curate private collections of them. QoderWake comes with preset Wakers for release, development, review and testing work alongside custom ones, and Experts Mode supplies five ready roles. Each preset does a job on its own, so a team can adopt one without taking the others.

Triggers & Channel Coverage Full

Background work starts without anyone at the keyboard. QoderWake tasks fire on a schedule, on repository issue and pull request events, on an API call authenticated with a personal token, or by polling, with up to five triggers per task, and Wakers answer @mentions in chat. Cloud Agents deployments run on a cron schedule, desktop Automations run scheduled jobs locally or in the cloud, and outbound webhooks report session events back to the customer's own systems.

Sourcedocs.qoder.com/qoderwake/automated-tasks.mdread 2026-11-08

Model Flexibility & Routing Full

Users pick a model or a tier: Auto, which routes each request and costs about half the credits, Ultimate, Fast or Efficient. Named models include Qwen3.8 Max and Flash, DeepSeek V4 Pro and Flash, GLM 5.3, Kimi K3.1 Pro and MiniMax M3.1 Flash. Custom models connect through OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Kimi or any OpenAI or Anthropic compatible endpoint, billed by that provider, and enterprise admins decide which model families teams may use.

APIs / SDKs / MCP Extensibility Full

Cloud Agents expose a REST API at api.qoder.com, labeled beta, with bearer authentication by personal token or by short lived service account tokens, and SDKs for Python, TypeScript, Go and Java. A separate Agent SDK for TypeScript, Python and Java embeds Qoder's agent in other software, the command line tool runs headless in CI, and Cloud Agents also speak the A2A protocol and offer an MCP connector of their own.

Sourcedocs.qoder.com/cloud-agents/api/conventions/overview.mdread 2026-11-08

Testing, Debugging & Optimization Full

Cloud Agents can grade their own results: an Outcomes setting sends the work to a separate evaluator that scores it against a rubric and sends the agent back for another pass, for up to 20 rounds and three by default. In the IDE, an ultra review command reviews changes before commit, security scans run at three depths, and Experts Mode's QA agent runs the project's tests and builds as part of each task.

Sourcedocs.qoder.com/cloud-agents/api/sessions/outcomes.mdread 2026-11-08

Browser / Computer-use Full

The agent drives a built in browser with live preview of local apps, and Computer Use controls the desktop on macOS 14 and Windows 10 or later, operates an external Chrome or Edge browser through an extension, and can record a sequence of steps and replay it. In Experts Mode a UI operator checks finished work in the browser, and Cloud Agents offer browser use, labeled beta, with a live view.

Pricing

Lite is $10 a month for 1,000 credits, Pro $20 for 2,000, Pro+ $60 for 6,000 and Ultra $200 for 20,000. Teams is $40 per seat a month with 3,000 credits each. A free plan is available.

Monthly plans that include a pool of credits, spent at a rate set by the model tier, with credit packs for top ups and per seat pricing for Teams and Enterprise.

Free tierTrial available

Included quota

Lite includes 1,000 credits a month, Pro 2,000, Pro+ 6,000 and Ultra 20,000. Teams includes 3,000 credits per seat, and Enterprise seats include none.

What is public

Monthly prices and credit allowances for Lite, Pro, Pro+ and Ultra, the trial, the credit pack, Teams and Enterprise seat prices and the shared credit add on.

Billing mechanics

Subscriptions bill monthly or annually and include a monthly credit pool; extra credits are bought in packs. Teams plans can also be bought through Alibaba Cloud Marketplace.

Cost watchouts

Higher model tiers spend credits about four times faster than Auto. Cloud Agents need a Teams seat and charge sandbox time per second in credits. Repo Wiki generation costs about 50 credits per repository. Enterprise seats carry no credits of their own.

Variable cost rationale

Plans buy a fixed monthly pool of credits, and model choice changes how fast it drains: Auto costs about half a credit multiple, Ultimate about two, and Efficient models nothing for a limited time. Credit packs top up a pool, and Cloud Agents add per second sandbox charges in credits.

Additional watchouts

Annual prices are not shown even though annual billing is offered. Enterprise seats are priced below Teams seats but include no credits, so total cost depends on the shared credit purchase.

Overage / add-ons

Extra credits come as packs, $20 for 1,500 valid for a month on individual plans, or shared add on credits at $40 for 3,000 on Enterprise.

Sales call required

Mixed (some tiers require a call)

Free / trial

Free plan, plus a 14 day Pro trial with 300 credits for new users.

Lowest paid plan

Lite at $10 a month for 1,000 credits

Commercial notes

Qoder is sold by Bright Zenith Private Limited of Singapore and says more than six million builders use it. Case studies include XPeng, Hisense, 51job and AsiaInfo.

Key ambiguities

Enterprise is listed at $20 per seat a month with no credits, below the $40 Teams seat that includes 3,000 credits, so a like for like comparison depends on how many shared credits an enterprise buys.

Cancellation / refund

Monthly or annual subscriptions; credit packs expire after a month.

Support SLA / resale

Teams and Enterprise add SSO, analytics and admin controls; Enterprise adds an audit log and private marketplace collections.

Missing data

Annual plan prices and the credit cost of each named model.
