§ 03 / TOKENIZER

Qwen3 Coder Plus token counter and cost.

Calibrated · measured on the vendor's tokenizer · 2026-06-10 Auto-counts as you type

Counts use a chars-per-token calibration measured on the vendor's own published tokenizer (Qwen/Qwen3.5-397B-A17B, 2026-06-10). English prose is typically within a few percent; code and non-Latin scripts tokenize heavier. For billing-exact counts use the vendor's count-tokens API.

Qwen3 Coder Plus API pricing FAQ.

Practical pricing questions, separated from calculator assumptions and regional tiers.

Q · 01 When did Qwen3 Coder Plus stop working? +
Alibaba announced on June 8, 2026 that qwen3-coder-plus would go offline on October 10, 2026 (00:00, UTC+8) in the Beijing and Singapore regions, and it has: on October 21, 2026 the model is no longer on Alibaba's pricing page, and calls to it fail. Its notice recommends Qwen3.7 Plus. The rates on this page are the last Alibaba published.
Q · 02 What is Qwen3 Coder Plus priced at? +
Alibaba Cloud Model Studio lists Qwen3 Coder Plus at $1/M input and $5/M output on its International/Singapore 0-32K deployment row. That is a published US dollar list price, not a converted one.
Q · 03 Does this page include higher context pricing tiers? +
The quote tiles use the 0-32K International/Singapore tier. Alibaba also lists 32K-128K at $1.8/M input and $9/M output, 128K-256K at $3 and $15, and 256K-1M at $6 and $60.
Q · 04 Is prompt caching priced separately? +
Alibaba marks Qwen3 Coder Plus as eligible for Context Cache discount, but the pricing table does not publish a separate cache-read token amount. AI//COST therefore keeps cached input at $1/M until Alibaba lists the exact cache-read price.
Q · 05 How is the effective price calculated? +
AI//COST uses the same 92/8 agentic blend everywhere. With no exact cache-read token price published for this row, Qwen3 Coder Plus's effective blended cost is $1.32/M.
Q · 06 Is there a free quota or batch discount? +
Alibaba lists a 90-day activation free quota for many International Qwen rows, but not every open-source row includes one. Batch and context-cache support are model-specific; this page only publishes prices that are explicit in the vendor table.
Q · 07 Which API model ID should I use? +
Use the rolling model ID qwen3-coder-plus. Alibaba states its current capability is equivalent to qwen3-coder-plus-2025-09-23.
