Every monthly plan that includes GLM-5.3, converted to requests per $1 at the model's typical request shape. Same engine as the main calculator — proxy estimates carry a ~ marker; coarse estimates carry ≈.
GLM-5.3 is Z.AI's open-weight flagship for agentic coding, launched August 2026 with a 1-million-token context — the successor to GLM-5.2 across the tracked plans that carry the GLM line.

Recent changes
What changed for plans serving GLM-5.3
The 3 newest entries in the change ledger for plans that include GLM-5.3 — each one dated and linked to its record.
The best plan pricing GLM-5.3 delivers 99 Req/$1 at the model's typical request shape — on OpenCode Go. Figures are exact confidence: they are computed from published rates and usage caps, proxy estimates are marked with a ~, and borrowed-cap plans use a published API cap at list price, so their Req/$1 is a value comparison rather than a measured allowance.
What's the cheapest plan with GLM-5.3?
CommandCode Go at $1/mo. The cheapest plan is not always the best value — check Req/$1 above.
Which plans include GLM-5.3?
48 tracked plans across 15 providers price it: CommandCode (Go, GOAT, Max 10×, Max 20×, Pro and Provider), Charm Hyper (Shred Diet, Shred Classic, Shred Energy, Shred Nitro and Shred Animal), Phoenix Grove (Basic, Pro, Elite, Ultra and Canopy), Neural Watt (Basic, Standard, Pro and Max), QwenCloud (Lite Plan, Essential Plan, Standard Plan and Pro Plan), Standard Compute (Starter, Economy, Standard and Pro), LLM Gateway DevPass (Lite, Pro and Max), Synthetic (Go, Standard and Big), Z.ai (GLM Coding Lite, GLM Coding Pro and GLM Coding Max), ZenMux (Builder Starter, Builder Max and Builder Ultra), Ollama (Pro and Max), OpenCode (Go and Go Plus), Ozore (Basic and Pro), Cline Pass and NanoGPT Subscription. The calculator compares every tracked monthly plan that prices it.
Where does GLM-5.3 rank on the Agent Arena leaderboard?
#24 (Max config) on the Agent Arena agent leaderboard — 1.78% net improvement (board fetched 2026-10-19). Ranks are scraped from https://arena.ai/leaderboard/agent, never typed by hand.
What is GLM-5.3?
GLM-5.3 is Z.AI’s (formerly Zhipu) current open-weight flagship for agentic coding and reasoning, released in August 2026 as the successor to GLM-5.2. It offers a 1-million-token context and sits in the Z.AI GLM model family alongside GLM-5.2, GLM-5.1 and GLM-5-Turbo.
Is GLM-5.3 open-weight?
Yes — GLM-5.3 is open-weight (family: zai, kind: text). The weights are publicly available, so you can self-host it or reach it through any plan that exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, including BYOK routers.
What happens to GLM-5.2 and GLM-5.1 requests on Z.AI plans?
Z.AI automatically routes requests for the previous flagships (GLM-5.2 and GLM-5.1) to GLM-5.3 at the same credit multipliers, so existing workflows keep working while the whole line converges on the new flagship.
Can I use GLM-5.3 with any agent (BYOK)?
Yes — because GLM-5.3 is open-weight, any BYOK plan with an OpenAI-compatible endpoint can serve it. You can use it with OpenCode, pi, Cursor, or any other agent that supports custom model endpoints.
What kind of model is GLM-5.3?
GLM-5.3 is a text generation model (family: zai, kind: text) positioned for agentic coding and long-context reasoning — a frontier open-weight pick rather than a budget throughput model like DeepSeek V4 Flash.
