Coding agent
Builders who want a terminal agent with a choice of models.
Compare the version you would actually use.
Choose the task you want to solve. This guides the fit checks.
Choose whether you can get technical help or need browser-only setup.
These are editorial checks against your brief, not a ranking or a hands-on recommendation. “Worth considering” does not confirm every requirement.
The checks cover task scope, setup needs, source freshness, documented funnels, and unresolved Google Ads requirements. Pricing limits, migration effort, and compatibility with your own setup still need checking.
Edition selection changes setup effort, budget, and documented funnel support; funnel requirements can change the result. It does not verify integrations or migration parity.

| YOUR DECISION | OpenCode | Kilo |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Coding agent | Coding agent |
| Best suited to | Builders who want a terminal agent with a choice of models. | Builders considering Kilo’s terminal workflow and model access. |
| Edition | Terminal agent | Kilo CLI |
| Setup effort | Terminal comfortable | Terminal comfortable |
| Budget for | Model usage · optional subscriptions | Model usage · provider or platform billing |
| Source & license | MIT; check separately distributed surfaces and provider terms. | MIT for the current CLI repository; model and platform terms are separate. |
| What it needs | A supported terminal, project files, and access to a model provider. | A supported terminal and model access through a supported configuration. |
| Where data goes | Model requests go to the configured provider. A local interface does not mean local inference. | Inference depends on the selected model and routing provider. |
| Important trade-off | A terminal agent still needs setup and code review. Model access and billing are separate. | This record compares the CLI. IDE extensions and other Kilo surfaces are separate decisions. |
