Verdicts par tâche

Running models on your own hardwareOllama l’emporte

Ollama's pricing page says running models on your own hardware is always unlimited, on macOS, Windows, Linux or Docker.

ZCode's fetched pages (product page, docs, GLM Coding Plan overview) list no local-model option.

Long-running agentic coding in one appZCode l’emporte

ZCode has Goals for long-running tasks, multi-agent collaboration and subagents in its desktop app.

Ollama's README lists ollama launch for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode, so an agent is one extra tool away.

Steering a coding agent from a chat appZCode l’emporte

ZCode can be started and steered from WeChat, Feishu or Telegram, and its docs describe mobile control of the agent.

Ollama is a model runner; chat-app control depends on whichever agent you connect.

Cheapest paid planZCode l’emporte

GLM Coding Plan Lite is $12.6/mo as shown, against Ollama Pro at $20/mo.

At the $18 list price Lite is $2 below Ollama Pro monthly and about $1.33 above Pro on annual billing ($200/yr). The two plans buy different things: GLM coding credits versus cloud model credits.
