I recently updated several tool pages and pricing details on WhichAICoder to reflect changes announced in October 2026. If you follow coding agents, there are notable updates from FreePi, Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and OpenAI Codex.
FreePi v0.4.6 and Pricing Updates
FreePi released version v0.4.6, adding free web search and documentation lookup tools that count toward your daily allowance. According to the FreePi Changelog, FreePi is an ad-supported terminal coding agent built on Mario Zechner's Pi agent harness. You run npx free-pi-cli, sign in with GitHub using a device code, and code against a daily free allowance using the default DeepSeek V4 Flash model.
As checked on October 20, 2026, the tool is funded by terminal ads and training on your sessions, with server-set daily allowances that may be affected by account age. Optional credit packs are available via Stripe Checkout where $5 buys $4.00 of usage and $10 buys $8.00. The CLI itself is open source under the MIT license. You can read more about it on our FreePi tool page and the FreePi Pricing page.
Major Coding Assistant Pricing Changes
Beyond FreePi, I audited pricing changes for major assistants as of October 15, 2026:
- Cursor: Transitioned to The X Subscription (Grok + Cursor + X) starting October 12, 2026, with tiers like Plus at $8/mo, Premium at $30/mo, Super at $100/mo, and Ultra at $200/mo. Legacy Pro and Pro+ plans remain active for existing subscribers. Details are on our Cursor Pricing page.
- Claude Code: Included in Claude Pro at $20/mo ($17/mo annual) and Max starting from $100/mo, with shared usage alongside chat. Check our Claude Code Pricing page.
- GitHub Copilot: Features tiers including a limited free plan, Pro at $10/mo, Pro+ at $39/mo, and Max at $100/mo, with unlimited completions on paid plans. More is on our GitHub Copilot Pricing page.
- OpenAI Codex: Integrated into ChatGPT plans ranging from Free to Pro at $100 to $500/mo, with GPT-5.5 retired from Codex on October 14, 2026. Review our Codex Pricing page.
I will continue keeping these rubrics updated as providers adjust their offerings.
