Enterprises that want Claude-class quality without Anthropic-only lock-in.
Enterprise comparison
The model-agnostic alternative to Claude Code Enterprise.
Compare Kilo Code and Claude Code Enterprise on model freedom, vendor lock-in, governance, seat pricing, EU data residency, and enterprise fit.
Pricing
Kilo offers Teams and Enterprise plans with 0% AI token markup through Kilo Gateway. Claude Code Team Standard is listed at $20/seat/month annually or $25 monthly; Enterprise lists $20/seat where the seat fee covers access only and every token is billed separately at API rates.
Main tradeoff
Claude Code gives Anthropic-native depth. The tradeoff is single-vendor model dependence and uncapped Enterprise API usage on top of the seat fee, with only spend limits as a brake.
