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
Official plan name
No Coding Plan on the pricing page.
Consumer chat
chat.deepseek.com style access is free.
How they charge
Prepaid tokens. Flash/Pro prices + 8-16 peak/off-peak.
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.
Why it is trending
This URL is defensive SEO: if someone else publishes a fake price menu, you already rank the correction.
Timeline
V4-Pro/Flash API.
Code Harness hiring: Model + Harness = Agent.
0731, dsh preview, 0813 GA, peak pricing 8-16.
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.
