SWE, AI Automation Enthusiast. I test every AI coding agent so you don’t have to, what’s worth using, what it really costs, and what the docs won’t tell you.
I've been trying to figure out how much usage Kimi's top plan actually gives you, and the numbers I found make it look even worse.
At a 97% cache hit rate, the roughly $99 plan works out to about 660 million tokens a week on K3.1. That's actually up from under 500 million on K3, so the price did get better.
But a $20 Claude plan gets close to 800 million tokens a week, and that's on Opus 5.5.
So you're paying almost five times more for less usage on a model that still ranks below Opus. That's why I keep saying K3.1 is a great model with the wrong subscription.
