What's included

professional current

Flash Mini

Individual developers, professional users, and technical teams seeking an entry-level subscription for coding tools, AI agents, and OpenAI-compatible access to StepFun models.

Best for

Light-to-moderate coding, agent, and model-integration workloads across supported coding tools and agent platforms.

Usage level

limited

Models included

Step 5 Preview, Step 3.7 Flash, Step 3.5 Flash, StepAudio 3 family, smart model routing

Included features
Chat Code tools Custom agents 400M Credits monthly usage Intelligent routing across supported flagship models Covers multiple MCP tools Supported Coding, agent workflows, and compatible third-party developer tools Studio provides additional creation credits equivalent to 40% of the plan quota Flash Plus, Flash Pro, and Flash Max add larger monthly Credit allowances; higher tiers also advertise priority API rates and priority support
Model access

The official Step Plan comparison states that Flash Mini supports all flagship models with intelligent routing. Exact model availability may vary as StepFun updates its flagship catalog. The subscription uses a dedicated Step Plan access channel rather than the ordinary API billing channel.

Usage notes

Includes 400M Credits per month. Credits are the plan's unified usage allowance, are issued monthly, and do not roll over after the usage period. The plan is described as having no time-window or request-frequency cap, but usage stops when the monthly Credit allowance is exhausted unless additional Credits are purchased.

Limitations

Lower allowance than Flash Plus, Flash Pro, and Flash Max. Does not include the priority API rates or priority technical support advertised for higher tiers. Studio creation credits are limited to an additional amount equivalent to 40% of the plan quota. Credits expire at the end of the applicable monthly period and are not shared with the standard pay-as-you-go API balance.

Pricing notes

Official global pricing is advertised from USD 6.99 per month. Alternative quarterly and yearly billing options are available; regional CNY pricing is also offered on the China platform.

consumer current

尝鲜

Individual users who want a short introductory trial of StepFun's consumer AI assistant and StepClaw capabilities.

Models included

StepFun models

Included features
Chat 250积分 valid for 7 days One-click deployment for cloud and desktop StepClaw Desktop task-execution mode unlocked Supports WeChat, Lark, and WeCom integrations Fast inference response Dedicated 24/7 cloud hosting during the validity period
Model access

The official benefits page identifies a StepFun model quota but does not specify exact model IDs for this tier. Model consumption varies by task complexity and is limited by the plan's 250积分 allocation.

Usage notes

Includes 250积分 for a 7-day period. Different functions consume different amounts of StepFun model quota. Unused benefits expire at the end of the validity period.

Limitations

This is a time-limited weekly introductory tier rather than a monthly plan. Usage is constrained by the 250积分 allowance and general service-side limits, including possible request limits during high-demand periods. API usage is not included and must be paid for separately. Cloud resources are retained for 7 days after the final credits expire, after which associated data and resources may be permanently deleted.

Pricing notes

Official subscription page lists ¥9.9 every week. The membership benefits page describes this tier as a 7-day 尝鲜周卡. A separate limited free experience may be available to newly registered users, but it is not this paid plan.

consumer current

入门版

Individual users seeking a light AI assistant for personal projects, learning, vibe coding, and everyday productivity.

39 CNY monthly
Best for

Lightweight personal assistance, learning, early experimentation, and entry-level StepClaw workflows.

Included features
Chat One-click deployment of desktop and cloud StepClaw is included. Dedicated 24/7 cloud hosting during the validity of the included credits. Monthly membership materials state that formal monthly plans include synchronization across devices. Desktop StepClaw task-execution mode is unlocked. Supports WeChat, Feishu, and WeCom integrations. Basic technical support is included. The membership benefits describe accelerated inference response.
Model access

The official membership materials refer to a StepFun model quota but do not specify a complete exact model list for the 入门版. API usage is excluded from the membership and must be paid separately through the StepFun Open Platform.

Usage notes

Includes 1,300 StepFun model credits per monthly subscription period. Credits vary in consumption according to task complexity and expire at the end of the subscription period. The plan includes 2 CPU cores, 4 GB memory, and 40 GB storage for cloud-hosted StepClaw.

Limitations

Usage is credit-based and may be subject to request or concurrency limits, especially during high-demand periods. Unused monthly credits do not carry over. Cloud resources are retained for seven days after the final credits expire and are then permanently shut down and released unless the user renews or backs up data.

Pricing notes

The official subscription page lists 入门 at ¥39 per month. StepFun also offers a separate limited-time weekly trial tier and a new-user free trial, but those are not this plan.

Flash Max

Professional developers, AI engineers, agent builders, and high-frequency users building coding workflows, AI agents, and automated applications with StepFun models.

Included features

Model access

The official Step Plan comparison describes Flash Max as including access to all flagship models with smart routing. StepFun's current platform identifies Step 5 Preview, Step 3.7 Flash, and Step 3.5 Flash as flagship model offerings. Exact model routing, model-specific limits, and additional model availability may change over time.

Usage notes

Includes 40,000M Credits of monthly usage. The China-region plan page describes the allowance as 40,000M Credits per month. Credits are used across supported Step Plan model and workflow access; access may stop or require renewal after the monthly allowance is exhausted.

Limitations

This is a subscription for StepFun's Step Plan ecosystem rather than unrestricted API usage. It is primarily designed for coding and agent workflows. The plan does not automatically imply access to unrelated consumer AI features, native image or video generation, team administration, or enterprise governance controls. Regional pricing, supported integrations, model availability, and quotas may vary.

Pricing notes

The international Step Plan listing advertises Flash Max at USD 99 per month. The China-region offering is listed at CNY 699 per month, CNY 1,889 per quarter, or CNY 6,666 per year. Regional pricing and availability may differ.

professional current

Flash Plus

Individual developers, professional programmers, AI-agent builders, and power users who need higher-volume access to StepFun models through coding tools and agent platforms.

Included features
Code tools 1600M Credits per month Intelligent multi-model routing Access to multiple MCP tools Multi-device login supported Priority API rate access Priority technical support Studio provides additional creation credits equivalent to 40% of the subscribed plan quota Coding, agent platforms, automation, and research workflows
Model access

The official plan page states that the plan supports all flagship models and intelligent routing, but does not provide a complete exact model-ID list for Flash Plus. Public plan documentation and current platform materials identify Step 3.7 Flash and Step 3.5 Flash among the platform's current flagship models. Flash Plus adds priority API access compared with Flash Mini.

Usage notes

Includes 1600M Credits per month. Credits are intended for use during the monthly billing cycle and are not described as rolling over. The plan also includes access to StepFun's flagship models, intelligent routing, multiple MCP tools, multi-device login, and Studio creation credits equivalent to 40% of the plan quota.

Limitations

Usage is constrained by the monthly 1600M-Credit allowance. The subscription is primarily an API, coding-tool, and agent-platform access plan rather than a standalone consumer chat subscription. Exact model-level quotas and detailed per-model credit conversion rules are not fully exposed on the public plan comparison page.

Pricing notes

Monthly price is CNY 99. Quarterly pricing is CNY 269 and annual pricing is CNY 936. Quarterly and annual plans are paid upfront while credits are issued monthly. The plan uses Credits as its unified usage unit; 1M Credits corresponds to approximately CNY 1 of model usage.

Included features
Code tools Custom agents 8,000M Credits per month Included Multi-model intelligent routing Supports StepFun flagship models Covers multiple MCP tools Supported Studio provides additional exclusive creation quota equivalent to 40% of the plan amount Coding and AI-agent workflows
Model access

StepFun states that Step Plan supports all flagship models and intelligent routing. Current StepFun product pages list Step 5 Preview, Step 3.7 Flash, Step 3.5 Flash, and StepAudio 3 model families, but the plan page does not provide a complete exact model-ID list. Access is intended for supported coding tools, agent platforms, Step Code, and related StepFun services.

Usage notes

Includes 8,000M Credits per month. StepFun describes the plan as including the Flash Mini benefits, priority API rate, and priority technical support. The plan uses credits rather than an unlimited-usage promise.

Limitations

Usage is limited by the monthly 8,000M-Credit allowance and applicable concurrency or service restrictions. The plan is primarily positioned for coding and agent workflows rather than as a standalone consumer chat subscription. Additional Studio creation quota is described as equivalent to 40% of the plan amount.

Pricing notes

Official pricing pages show monthly, quarterly, and annual billing. Secondary verification reports CNY 539 per quarter and CNY 1,860 per year. Prices may be region-specific.
