What is Muse Code?
Meta's terminal coding agent with persistent subagents.
Who is Muse Code best for?
Muse Code is best for developers who want Meta's Muse Spark models as a multi-agent coding assistant in the terminal or CI.
Big multi-step coding jobs
Background subagents stay alive for the whole session and report back to the main agent, so long tasks need less steering.
Long or fragile runs
Every model call, tool run and edit goes into a local log, so a session can pick up exactly where it stopped after a crash.
Coding in CI pipelines
The same binary runs headless with an API key, so a pipeline can hand it a task and read the result.
Developers on a tight budget
The entry plan is $5 a month, and the Contributor API tier costs a fraction of standard token rates if Meta may train on your prompts.
How much does Muse Code cost?
Muse Code is paid: a subscription costs $5, $15 or $50 a month depending on how much you use it, or you can pay Meta's API token rates instead with a Meta Model API key.

Instead of a subscription you can pay per token with a Meta Model API key: Muse Spark costs $1.25 per million input tokens and $4.25 per million output tokens, or $0.10 and $0.20 on the Contributor tier, where Meta may train on your prompts. When a plan's limit runs out you upgrade or wait for it to refresh. Plans renew monthly, cancelled plans are not refunded, and benefits can vary by region. Full pricing on dev.meta.ai.
