Agentic coding, minus the agent-sized bill
BlobCode lives in your VS Code sidebar. It plans, writes, and ships code with the same muscle as Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex, but for a fraction of the price.

[01] · the bill
What the same $10 buys you.
BlobCode Basic costs $10 a month and includes $45 of Claude API value a month (priced at list, 1 credit = 1 Sonnet input token). You pay for exactly what you use: a quick Haiku question costs a sliver of your allowance, a heavy Fable session costs more. No request counting, no surprises.

[02] · features
Everything the expensive agents do.
Minus the markup.
Agentic edits
Plans multi-step changes, edits across files, and reruns your tests until they're green. This goes well beyond autocomplete.
Lives in your sidebar
A native VS Code extension: agent panel, inline diff review, one keybinding away. No new editor to learn, no fork to migrate to.
Smart model router
Every step goes to the cheapest model that can nail it. Frontier brains for hard problems, small models for grunt work.
Codebase memory
Indexes your repo once, then remembers your conventions, patterns and gotchas across every session.
Parallel agents
Fan out refactors, test-writing and docs to multiple agents working at once. Merge when they're done.
Live cost meter
See the price of every task in real time, set hard caps per project. The invoice is never a surprise.
[03] · pricing
