Coding Plan model-source checker
Compare whether third-party coding plans really serve official models
- Problem
- Developers say official APIs are too expensive, while many third-party coding plans claim official models but have mixed reputations, unclear model suppliers and inconsistent speed. Users suspect some clients silently switch models or slow down tasks. There is no trustworthy side-by-side comparison, only scattered word of mouth.
- Solution
- Collect public plan info and user-submitted tests (latency, quota, model identity, ban cases) into a filterable comparison table with scheduled lightweight probes and community evidence. Flag suspicious vendors with evidence tags.
- Users
- Heavy users of Claude Code/Codex-style CLIs and small-team tech leads
- MVP
- Comparison table of price, quota and claimed models; scheduled lightweight latency/availability probes; user-submitted reviews and evidence; price-change alerts
- Revenue
- Free comparison table; paid subscription for probe history and price-drop alerts; affiliate commissions from vendor links
- Why now
- AI coding tools and third-party plans are multiplying while information stays opaque; data can grow from community input and simple probing without heavy ML
