What is Qoder?

Qoder is an agentic coding platform launched by Alibaba in August 2025, available as a desktop IDE, a JetBrains plugin, a CLI, and a mobile app for monitoring agents and approving their actions. The IDE offers autocomplete alongside Ask, Plan, and Auto modes, while Quest Mode handles long-running, multi-step delegation and Repo Wiki generates documentation of your project's structure and architecture. It also supports memory and rules, skills, multi-agent collaboration, and MCP in its JetBrains plugin.

Usage is metered in monthly credits, with paid plans from $20 to $200 a month and a free plan that includes a two-week Pro trial and lets you bring your own API key. Teams can use Qoder's Enterprise option for admin controls and integrations. If you're comparing it with other coding agents, see these Qoder alternatives.
