Kilo Code supports many models through your own API keys, and it can use different models for different parts of a task. Its modes help keep the agent focused: one mode for planning, one for coding, one for debugging, and custom modes for your own workflow.
The extension is free and open source, and the Pro plan costs $20 per month with managed model access and higher limits. It is a flexible agent for developers who like to tune their setup and want open-source transparency.
