Find your fit.

Two ways to pay: token-based if your usage varies, concurrency-based if you have rather consistent workloads and don't want to think about usage.

Testimonials

agorum

“We put Melious through a thorough hands-on test. With GLM 5.2 we measured more than 350 tokens per second, and a development task that used to take 45 minutes was done in about 7. It stayed stable throughout, entirely on European infrastructure, and our data is not used for training. That convinced us to integrate Melious as a provider in ALBERT | AI, the AI in agorum core pro.”

FAQ

  • Every coding plan includes selected frontier open-weight models built and tested for agentic coding. When a better open-weight coding model ships, it's added to your plan automatically, at no extra cost.
  • No. Set your base URL to api.melious.ai/v1 and use your Melious API key — anything OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible works unchanged, which covers 20+ tools including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Cline. Prefer a guided setup? The Melious CLI configures your tools for you.
  • Token-based plans (Basic, Pro) bill by how much usage your requests draw each month — good if your usage varies day to day. Concurrency-based plans (Unlimited 3x/6x) instead cap how many requests can run in parallel and remove the token ceiling — good if you have rather consistent workloads and don't want to think about usage.
  • No, never. Your prompts, code and completions stay on European infrastructure and are never logged or used for training — ours or anyone else's.
  • Yes — nothing is different here. Coding plans run on the exact same European infrastructure and jurisdiction guarantee as the rest of Melious: EU/EEA only, no US legal exposure, no exceptions for agentic traffic.
