Verdant Pricing Explained: Free Credits, Light, Starter, Pro and Max Plans
Verdant's paid plans run from $5 Light to $179 Max, plus 100 free credits for new users. Here's what each tier actually gets you.
What does Verdant cost?
Verdant is a coding agent platform with four monthly subscription tiers: Light at $5, Starter at $19, Pro at $59, and Max at $179. New users also get 100 free credits that expire after 7 days, which is enough to test the workflow before committing to a paid plan. The right tier depends on how much agent usage you need and which models you plan to run tasks against, since model costs sit on top of the subscription price.
TL;DR
- Verdant’s paid plans start at $5 for Light and scale up through Starter ($19), Pro ($59), to Max ($179) per month.
- New accounts get 100 free credits that are valid for 7 days, giving you a short window to try the platform before paying.
- The subscription price covers access to the platform itself; model usage costs are a separate factor depending on which provider and model you select inside Verdant.
- Verdant supports running coding agents against a project, with features like a model selector, plan mode, file views, change summaries, and code review built into the workspace.
- For larger jobs, Verdant includes a manager mode that breaks a goal into subtasks and coordinates multiple workers.
- Tasks in the same workspace share files by default, so isolating experiments usually means creating a separate project folder rather than assuming every task runs in its own sandbox.
- Tools like Graft (an open source code-graph project) can be run inside Verdant via CLI or MCP, but that tool itself doesn’t add to the subscription cost unless you turn on its optional AI-powered deep build.
How do the four Verdant tiers differ?
Verdant’s pricing page lists four flat monthly tiers: Light ($5), Starter ($19), Pro ($59), and Max ($179). The naming suggests a straightforward scale from light, occasional use up to heavier, sustained agent workloads, with each step up presumably enabling more usage capacity or higher limits. The source material for this breakdown didn’t detail exact usage caps, request limits, or feature gating per tier beyond the prices themselves, so anyone comparing plans should check Verdant’s own pricing page for the current limits attached to each tier before subscribing.
What is clear is that the entry price point ($5) is low enough to function almost like a trial-adjacent tier for people who want to keep using Verdant lightly after their free credits run out, while Max at $179 is aimed at users running agents frequently or on larger codebases.
What do the free credits actually cover?
New users get 100 free credits valid for 7 days. That’s a time-boxed trial: the credits don’t roll over indefinitely, so the practical move is to plan a specific test task (or several) rather than let the window lapse. A reasonable use of that trial period is to point Verdant at a real project, describe a concrete bug or feature, and see how the agent handles investigation, editing, and test verification within the free allowance before deciding which paid tier fits your usage pattern.
Since credits are consumed by agent activity, how far 100 credits stretches will depend on task complexity, the model selected, and how many iterations the agent needs to complete a job. A small, well-scoped task (like investigating a single permissions bug in a small service) will use noticeably fewer credits than an open-ended multi-file refactor.
Does Verdant’s subscription price include model costs?
Not necessarily. Verdant’s plans control access to the platform, but the agent itself runs on a configured model provider, and Verdant includes a model selector so users can choose which model powers a given task. If that provider charges for usage (as most API-based LLM providers do), those costs exist independently of the Verdant subscription tier. This is worth flagging because it’s easy to assume a $179 Max plan is an all-inclusive price. In practice, your total monthly spend on Verdant is the subscription fee plus whatever model usage costs you incur, depending on which model you point tasks at.
The same separation of costs shows up with third-party tools run inside Verdant. For example, a code-graph tool like Graft has a free structural build (using tree-sitter, no AI provider key required) and an optional “deep build” that calls an AI provider for richer summaries. The structural build adds no extra API cost, but the deep layer does, and that cost is separate from both the Graft license (MIT, free) and the Verdant subscription itself.
Is Verdant worth paying for?
Whether a paid Verdant plan is worth it comes down to how often you’re running agent-driven coding tasks and how much hand-holding a given codebase requires. The platform’s workspace features, plan mode for scoping work before implementation, file views and change summaries for reviewing edits, a code review feature, and a manager mode for splitting larger goals into subtasks, are aimed at people doing repeated, structured agent work rather than one-off scripts.
For lighter or occasional use, the $5 Light tier or the free trial credits may be sufficient to validate whether the workflow fits how you build. For teams or individuals running agents against larger projects regularly, the higher tiers (Pro or Max) make more sense given the likely higher usage volume, though exact per-tier limits should be confirmed on Verdant’s pricing page since they weren’t itemized beyond the headline prices.
One practical note: because tasks within the same Verdant workspace share files by default, running multiple experiments or keeping a clean baseline to compare against usually means opening a dedicated project folder for each experiment, rather than assuming the platform isolates every task automatically. That affects how you’d structure paid usage if you’re running comparisons or parallel investigations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Verdant’s current subscription prices?
Verdant lists four monthly tiers: Light at $5, Starter at $19, Pro at $59, and Max at $179.
How many free credits do new Verdant users get?
New users receive 100 free credits, valid for 7 days from signup.
Does the Verdant subscription cover model API costs?
Not automatically. The subscription price covers platform access, but usage of a configured model provider can carry its own costs depending on which model you select for a task.
Do tasks in Verdant run in isolated environments?
No, by default tasks in the same workspace share the same files. Creating a new task doesn’t automatically isolate its edits, so separate project folders are the practical way to keep experiments independent.
Are third-party tools like Graft included in the Verdant price?
Third-party open source tools such as Graft are separate from Verdant’s pricing. Graft itself is MIT licensed and free to run in its basic structural mode; only its optional AI-powered “deep build” layer incurs additional provider costs, and that’s independent of your Verdant subscription tier.
