FAQ

Is Kilo Code really free?

Yes, Kilo Code is free and open source. You only pay for the AI inference you use, which can be managed through various options like Kilo Gateway (pay-as-you-go), Kilo Pass (subscription with bonus credits), or by bringing your own API keys/running local models.

What is the difference between Kilo Code and KiloClaw?

Kilo Code is the open-source AI coding agent for VS Code, JetBrains, and CLI. KiloClaw is a separate product offering managed, secure OpenClaw hosting for users and organizations that want a hosted setup with enterprise-ready operations, starting at $55/month plus AI inference costs.

How does Kilo handle data sent to model providers?

Kilo routes prompts and conversation content to the AI provider you select per request, via OpenRouter. This information is used only to generate the response. Kilo states that OpenRouter and downstream providers are bound by data protection terms equivalent to their privacy policy.
