What is Qodo?

We file it under AI coding assistants, the category of tools to write and fix code, and it also overlaps with developer tools. The category lists 31 verified tools on this site.
The publisher is Codium Ltd., based in Israel. The service launched in 2023, which gives it some track record.
Who is it for?
It is mostly useful to these profiles: developers. The need it covers is simple to state: write and fix code.
Before deciding, run a trial on a real task and measure the time saved: it is the only criterion that really counts.
How much does Qodo cost?
Pricing model: paid. No permanent free plan is offered.
The first paid plan costs $30 per month (Pro Team, pack of 2,500 shared credits; 14-day trial, specific free access for eligible open-source projects), according to the pricing page, checked on October 24, 2026.
Per month, that is more expensive than the category median ($15 per month, based on tools with a published price).
To estimate what the same work would cost done directly with an AI model, use our API price calculator. Prices change often: always check the official site before subscribing.
Data and privacy
The publisher does not clearly state where data is hosted. Assume your content may leave your region.
For professional use, check that a data processing agreement (DPA) is offered, and do not send customers' personal data or confidential documents without one.
No export feature is documented: keep a copy of your content elsewhere.
Three habits apply to every AI tool:
- turn off the use of your content for training if the option exists
- use a work account separate from your personal account
- review everything the tool produces before publishing or sending it
Platforms, languages and API
Qodo runs on: web browser and browser extension.
Interface languages: English.
API availability is not documented.
