Cinnacode is a Visual Studio Code extension for developers who want AI chat, inline completions, code edits and agent assistance in their editor. Its project-wide file discovery and @ file mentions let users bring project context into requests, while uploaded TXT, Markdown, JSON and CSV documents can inform chat. The feature set is aimed at individual and small-team workflows; solo VS Code users looking for an affordable way to try agent assistance are its clearest fit.

Pricing uses prepaid credits rather than recurring subscriptions. The Free plan provides 200 credits with no card required. Starter costs INR 199 one-time for 1,000 credits, Popular costs INR 499 one-time for 4,000 credits, and Power costs INR 999 one-time for 10,000 credits. Credits expire nine months after purchase, so buyers should consider how quickly they expect to use a pack. The free allowance and local Ollama mode offer ways to explore the extension without immediately buying a pack, while the paid tiers add credit capacity rather than a stated recurring feature bundle.

Agent mode is the standout workflow: it plans multi-step work, writes files and runs commands, with approval required at each step. For smaller changes, Cmd+K offers a quick edit and reviewable diff before changes are applied. Users can choose Fast, Balanced or Most Capable model tiers, and slash commands cover fixes, explanations, improvements, tests, edge cases, coverage and documentation. The published integration list includes Anthropic Claude, Ollama, GitHub and Razorpay, while team billing is in development. Choose Cinnacode if you want these focused VS Code features and can work within prepaid credits; look elsewhere if recurring plans or established team billing are central to your decision.
