Our verdict on HiCode

HiCode is HiNow’s coding agent for developers working in local project folders, laptops, desktops, or servers. It accepts natural-language requests in the terminal, reads relevant project files, writes and edits code, runs commands and tests, and summarizes changes. Support for Linux, macOS, Windows, web, cloud, and desktop environments gives it a practical fit for solo developers and small to mid-market teams that want coding automation centered on project work rather than a standalone chat experience.

The plan structure starts with Free at BRL 0 monthly, including web and app chat, a daily quota, and HiNow models. HiNow Plus adds HiCode in the terminal, code writing, editing and testing, sessions on other machines, and a daily quota. HiNow Pro includes everything in Plus, 3x more daily quota, long sessions, and priority support. HiNow Max includes everything in Pro, 10x more usage per day than Plus, several projects and machines, and priority support. The tier progression is easy to understand: higher plans focus on quota, session length, project and machine coverage, and support priority.

Its strongest distinction is the depth of terminal-side action. HiCode can inspect relevant files, follow existing patterns, use Git-aware workflows, run project commands, build and test code, debug failures, and rerun fixes. Remote sessions controlled through the web or phone app extend that workflow beyond the current machine, while approval controls add a checkpoint for sensitive actions. Developers can also select low, medium, or high reasoning levels. Choose HiCode if terminal automation, testing, remote access, and project-aware edits matter most. Choose another assistant if your primary requirement is an IDE-centered workflow or a narrower code-completion tool.
