How much does a typical coding agent user spend per month? Across nine agents observed over twelve months through the Requesty gateway, the weighted average rose from $14/month to $54/month ($91 for active users with 2+ active days). Claude Code active users average $108/month (median $23, P95 $296) in April 2026. Roo Code active users spend $79/month, OpenCode $104/month, and Cline $49/month.

Why it mattersPer-user cost is the core unit economic for coding agent businesses. The 3.8x increase is driven by longer agentic sessions and reasoning models, not by more expensive individual calls. Caching improvements kept per-call costs flat even as context windows grew 68%. The cost increase is entirely a function of usage intensity.
