Yeah, sure, the usage is free. But for how much longer? It’s time to get ahead and get it all expensed before the model you’re using starts asking you to cough up the cash.
How? Easy. Check your Kilo Code usage in your Kilo profile. You’ll know exactly how much you've been spending on Kilo because, unlike most proprietary tools, we show you the real numbers. No black box pricing. No surprise bills. No "unlimited" plans that throttle you when you need them most.
Let’s get even more transparent. As of this writing, Grok Code Fast 1 is free, and its market share has shot up to over 50% across all LLMs within the programming category (according to OpenRouter rankings).
Grok Code Fast 1 and Claude Sonnet 4 leave older models in the dust, meaning current AI coding tools, far from slowing you down like they did at the beginning of 2025, can now supercharge your coding skills. It’s a simple reality: with a blazing fast model like Grok, you get more iterations more quickly, meaning projects get finished in a matter of days, not weeks.
Take it from two of our users:
Grok Code Fast 1 lives up to its name. Its speed is a game-changer for my workflow. Code suggestions and completions appear almost instantly, which means I spend less time waiting and more time in a state of “flow.” I’m literally doing in hours what would have taken me days or weeks.
Grok was fast and accurate. The most challenging part when using budget models was the speed before grok code came out. we migrated from wordpress to next.js within 5 working days which we previously thought would take at least a month.
But this horsepower isn’t always going to be free. In fact, they will be closing the gates soon. So, to make sure you can keep on shipping with your preferred fast model without interruption even when it inevitably asks for payment, we’ve done the groundwork. We calculated what you would've spent in your Kilo profile - if the usage hadn’t been free this entire time.
For most Grok Code users, this is under $25/month. Heavy users can reach $200.
When developers have complete transparency over costs, full control over model selection, and zero throttling, productivity doesn't just improve - it compounds. Your last two weeks of commits prove it.
Grok’s promo period is ending soon. Here's your action plan:
Go to your Kilo profile
Screenshot your costs
Email your boss using this template: letter.kilo.love
Share a screenshot of your boss saying yes with #mybosssaidyes on our Discord, Reddit, or X (tag us @Kilo_Code)
We pick one person daily for a free t-shirt!
Want something shorter? Try sending this to your boss on Slack:
I've been using Kilo Code - the leading AI agent app. Their pay-as-you-go pricing means we pay for value, not subscriptions. Based on my usage patterns I’d need ~$[X]/month. ROI: measurable in my commit history. Approve?
TL;DR
Kilo Code broke through 100B daily tokens because it works, but also because it works for you, not against you. Predictable costs. No throttling. Full control. Maximum productivity.
Why now: Grok’s promo period is ending soon. Get your budget. Get back to shipping.

P.S. - Teams billing is coming this week if your boss wants consolidated invoices. But get your access sorted first.
