Free AI coding agents: questions people ask
What is a free AI coding agent?
Agents that write, fix, test and ship code on their own from a ticket or a prompt, in the editor, the terminal or the browser. On this page every tool also has a plan that costs nothing for as long as you like, read from its own pricing page.
How many AI coding agents have a free plan?
20 of the 35 AI coding agents RankDude lists, as of 1 November 2026. The full list, free or paid, is on the AI coding agents page.
What does the free plan usually limit?
Credits, outputs or projects per month, a watermark, lower resolution or fewer seats. The limits differ by tool; the pricing page each status was read from says exactly what the free plan includes.
Is this a ranking of free AI coding agents?
No. The list follows the site's one order: tools I have tested first, then the rest by how well known they are. Only a tested tool carries a grade.
