Use the free allowance on a change you can review in one sitting.
Qoder began offering individual Qoder International users a daily allowance for Qoduck on November 7, Singapore time. The model appears in Qoder’s model picker. Qoder calls it a stealth model and has not named the provider or disclosed its identity.
What the allowance covers
Free accounts qualify, including accounts with a zero credit balance. Paid individual plans get more free uses, but the offer page doesn’t list a single number that applies to everyone. Teams and Enterprise customers do not see Qoduck in the picker.
While an account has free uses left, Qoder says Qoduck consumes no credits, including at the highest thinking setting. After that, calls cost credits at the listed rate of 0.5×. The company has not set an end date and says the allowance may change. Check the offer and your account before you plan work around it.
Compare a patch, not the name in the picker
Pick a small bug with a failing regression test. Start Qoduck and your usual model from separate clean copies of the same branch. Give them the same task and limit them to the same files. Compare whether the tests pass, whether either model changes unrelated code, and how much editing the patch needs before you would merge it.
If both patches pass, try the one that is easier to review on another issue. This is a proposed comparison; we have not benchmarked Qoduck. For another hosted coding model with a time-limited offer, see our SWE-2 Flash coverage.
