In-depth review
Works without VPN from mainland China. Pays via 支付宝 or 微信支付 — no foreign card needed.
If your workflow is Claude-or-bust, CCFly is a weirdly specific niche play. It only routes GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, with a stated 100K token context window. The composite score of 75.2/100 and 94% uptime put it in “usable but not elite” territory for a relay station that charges premium for Claude focus.
What You Actually Get
Two models. That’s it. GPT-4o for when you need a backup, Claude 3.5 Sonnet as the main event. Max tokens hit 100K, which means you get Claude’s full context window but not the 200K ceiling you’d get from direct Anthropic API access. For coding sessions that stay under 100K, it’s fine. For massive refactors with full repository context, you’ll hit the wall.
The safety rating is 4/5 — no jailbreak-friendly nonsense here. This is a tunnel, not a playground.
The MAX Carpool Pricing
Here’s where it gets real. CCFly offers a “MAX carpool” service for Claude Code — shared exclusive accounts. The catch: solo access runs ¥2300/month. That’s more expensive than buying directly from Anthropic via API. The value proposition is entirely about the carpool split.
| Plan | Price | Models | Context | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Not specified | GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet | 100K tokens | No promo code available |
| MAX Carpool (Solo) | ¥2300/month | Claude Code accounts | Shared exclusive | More expensive than official API |
No trial. No refund policy listed. Min recharge is unspecified. You’re trusting them with ¥2300 upfront if you go solo.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Zero-VPN access for Claude in China — works with 支付宝/微信支付
- Specialized quality focus on Claude (not a generic reseller with 50 models)
- MAX carpool lets you split Claude Code costs with others
Cons
- Only two models — no Gemini, DeepSeek, or other Chinese LLMs
- ¥2300/month solo is pricier than direct API access
- 94% uptime feels shaky for production workflows
- No refund policy creates risk for prepaid users
Verdict
CCFly is for one specific developer: you only use Claude, you need zero-VPN access from mainland China, and you’re willing to pay a premium for that tunnel. If you’re the carpool organizer splitting ¥2300 across 5 people, the math works. Solo at ¥2300? Just use a proxy to hit Anthropic directly and save money.
Skip this if you need GPT-4o regularly (it’s here but clearly secondary), need DeepSeek R1, or want multi-model flexibility. The 94% uptime also gives me pause — that’s about 43 hours of downtime per month. For a tool you’re paying a premium on, that’s noticeable.
FAQ
Does CCFly work without a VPN in China? Yes. No VPN required from mainland China. Payment works with 支付宝 and 微信支付.
Can I use CCFly for DeepSeek or Gemini? No. Only GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet are available. No other models are supported.
Is the ¥2300/month MAX carpool worth it? Only if you split the cost. ¥2300 solo is more expensive than direct Claude API access through a VPN. As a carpool group sharing one account, it becomes competitive.
What happens if the service goes down? CCFly reports 94% uptime and has no specified refund policy. There’s no SLA guarantee in the platform data, so you take the downtime risk.
Can I use CCFly for production workloads? At 94% uptime and 100K token limit, it’s borderline. Fine for personal coding sessions. I wouldn’t bet a production pipeline on it without a backup relay.
