The GLM-5-Turbo model completed the task in 9 minutes, and the generated document was well-formatted with tables for comparison. The content was about 3200 words, and the performance in the actual test was very good.
The actual test results were excellent, but the new packages are only available in limited quantities every day at 10:00 AM, making them quite difficult to snag. Overall, I would give it a top rating.
Kimi Member Andante version
It's important to note that Kimi Code shares the same monthly credit limit as Kimi's main website membership. If you use up your credit limit on the web version, your Kimi Code account will also be restricted, and you'll need to wait for your credit limit to reset.

Using Qwen3.5-35B-A3B for testing, it ran for 9 minutes and ultimately produced a report in both Chinese and English. The Chinese version had a title in Martian language, but the content was normal, about 2100 words.
The original price of 19 is the lowest price in this review, and the first purchase price of 3.9 is even more attractive. You can switch models directly through the console, and there is no limit to the number of times you can do so.

Value for money isn't about being the cheapest, but about being the most suitable.Most of us don't need the top-of-the-line plan. By clearly understanding our actual needs, we can avoid paying for features we don't use. Referring to the rankings above and considering our own needs, we can choose a plan that's sufficient for our requirements.
Domestic manufacturers have gone crazy with pricing, constantly increasing discounts, coupons, and all sorts of tricks, but in terms of actual user experience, there is still a long way to go.
Due to time constraints, there are actually many coding plans on the market that we haven't had time to test one by one.
