Kilo Code

Kilo Code is an MIT-licensed, model-agnostic AI coding agent for VS Code and JetBrains with 500+ models, built-in agents, subagent delegation, MCP support, and BYOK with zero markup.

Kilo Code is an open-source, MIT-licensed AI coding agent that runs as a VS Code and JetBrains extension and a CLI. It is model-agnostic, giving developers access to 500+ models through bring-your-own-key or Kilo's own routing, with four built-in agents, subagent delegation for complex tasks, MCP support, and model routing to control agentic spend. It aims to cover the broadest set of VS Code coding use cases in a single extension. The extension itself is free to install; you pay for the models you use, either via your own API keys with zero markup or through Kilo Pass subscriptions that provide a non-expiring balance plus monthly bonus credits that expire at month's end. Paid tiers are published at $19, $49, and $199 per month, with a Teams plan at $15 per user, and a separate KiloClaw managed deployment product. This BYOK-plus-optional-subscription model gives teams flexible cost control. Kilo Code began as a fork of Roo Code, was built by Kilo-Org on seed funding, and was acquired by Anaconda in July 2026. It suits developers who want an open-source, flexible, multi-model coding agent inside their existing IDE, competing with tools like Cline, Continue, and Roo Code on openness, model choice, and agentic features.
