## Kimi strengths

- International USD plans start at $19/month and include Kimi Code and Agent Swarm.
- Broad agent toolset: deep research, slides, documents, spreadsheets, website building and scheduled tasks.
- A separate pay-per-token API with a 1M-token context window on K3.

## Kimi limitations

- Free-tier limits are not clearly published on the help pages.
- Plan structure is changing: legacy plan names (Moderato, Allegretto, Allegro, Vivace) coexist with Plus, Pro, Max and Ultra, which can confuse buyers.
- Credits do not roll over, and one shared pool covers chat, agents and Kimi Code.
- The site interface and several help pages default to Chinese; I found no confirmed Android or Windows client.

## Opera Neon strengths

- Combines chat, browser actions, research and content creation in one browser rather than a separate extension.
- Neon Do shows its plan and actions in real time and can be paused or taken over.
- Wide model choice across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI and open-weight models on the Standard plan.
- MCP connector and CLI let external agents such as Claude Code or n8n use a live browser session.
- Credentials, passwords and card details are stated to stay on the device, and Opera says it does not train on user data.
- Free VPN and ad blocker are included in the browser.

## Opera Neon limitations

- Full agentic features need the $19.90 per month Standard plan, higher than many AI add-ons.
- Windows and macOS only; no Linux, iOS or Android version yet.
- Neon Do uses cloud LLMs to plan, and page content is sent to Opera and OpenAI servers with 365-day retention.
- Opera itself calls Neon an experimental agentic browser, so behaviour and plan limits may change.
