DeepSeek Code Plan
Three search intents, zero official plan menu

DeepSeek has no official plan called Code Plan or Coding Plan. Consumer chat is free with no tiers, and the paid product is the prepaid API. The "Plus $10 / Pro $25" figures circulating online come from third-party sites and contradict DeepSeek's own statement that chat is free.

Highlights

None

Official plan name

No Coding Plan on the pricing page.

$0

Consumer chat

API

How they charge

Prepaid tokens. Flash/Pro prices + 8-16 peak/off-peak.

dsh

The real “plan”

Harness Standard includes planning/goals. That’s intent C.

What the query is really asking

Intent A — roadmap: Apr V4 API → May Harness hiring → Jul 0731 → Aug dsh preview → Aug 13 0813. Intent B — people want a $10 Max analog → point at OpenCode Go or official API. Intent C — plan mode in dsh.

Confirmed vs caution

Confirmed

No official Coding Plan SKU; free chat; prepaid API; Harness is the productized plan-mode path; Go is a third-party $10 analog.

Caution

None of the DeepSeek coding-subscription price tables circulating online trace back to an official source. The Plus/Pro chat tiers listed on sites like geotoolbox directly contradict DeepSeek's own position that chat is free, and should not be used as a basis for quoting costs.

How to choose

Want a $10 monthly coding buffet

OpenCode Go (third party) or accept official prepaid tokens.

Want DeepSeek’s own agent product

DeepSeek Harness (preview), not a fictional Code Plan SKU.

How to use it

Three cards in the template = three intents. Each card links Flash/Pro, Go, or dsh.

On QCode

QCode provides a single API key spanning several model vendors, not a DeepSeek subscription. If you want a monthly coding allowance, OpenCode Go is the third-party option; if metered billing suits you better, /models currently lists deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-v4-pro.

FAQ

Is there a DeepSeek Max plan?

No official one as of 2026-08-14.

Is chat free?

Official consumer chat is free; API is prepaid.

What about $10 Plus blogs?

They conflict with official “no paid consumer plan.” Ignore.

Is Harness the Code Plan?

It’s the closest official product: an open harness, not a monthly SKU.

OpenCode Go a DeepSeek plan?

No. Third-party buffet that happens to include Flash/Pro.

Peak pricing vs a plan?

From 8-16, official API uses peak/off-peak instead of a coding subscription.
