STOA's verdictFor builders
Promising open-source AI coding agent with zero-markup pricing and 500+ model support.
Good for devs wanting model flexibility without vendor lock-in. Still newer than Cursor or Copilot.
For builders · not rated for ownersWhy no rating
Kilo needs a developer to set up and use, so we don't give it an owner rating. Here is how each factor looks for a small team that has a developer.
- SMB Fit
Built for teams with a developer; the extensions are free and open source, and the Teams plan is $15 per user per month for shared modes and billing.kilo.ai (source, opens in a new tab)
- Ease of Use
Built for teams with a developer; you install an extension and choose how to pay for AI usage (free models, your own keys, or pay as you go), which takes some decisions.
