LIVE PRICE COMPARISON
Claude Code, Kilo Code, Cline and Codex are the top four coding-agent tools by token volume on OpenRouter's public rankings. Anthropic bills Opus 5.5 at list price per token; a flat-rate subscription plan caps how much you can use before you hit a wall. Newton's bills per token with no weekly cap — see exactly where that spend goes instead of guessing.

* Reference only, not something we sell. This is what a flat-rate consumer subscription plan would cost if you used 100% of its weekly allowance every week without fail. Subscriptions cap total usage per session and per week, aren't billed per token, and aren't licensed for production or third-party traffic. Most people use far less than the full allowance.
We don’t downscale models or substitute inferior weights. We eliminate redundant token charges and optimize routing physics.
Coding agents resend large system prompts and file context on most turns. The model providers meter cached vs. fresh input separately — Newton's passes that distinction straight through, so repeated context isn't billed as if it were new every time.
Stop paying $20–$40/user for seats that go unused during quiet sprint weeks. Fund only what you consume, with zero monthly minimums and no expiring credits.
No need for multiple provider billing accounts or minimum prepayment tiers. Access live verified routes (Claude Sonnet 5, GPT-5.6 Sol, DeepSeek Reasoner, Gemini 3.5 Flash, and more) from a single balance.
