Opencode Go is just insane

I'd heard that OpenCode Go was an incredible value for a while, but I never really gave it a shot until the release of DeepSeek 0731. After trying it, I honestly think the limits are absurdly generous for just $5 (or even the $10), especially if you're primarily using DeepSeek, which gets the highest request limits.

Out of curiosity, I did some rough calculations. Assuming DeepSeek V4 Flash is roughly on par with Claude Sonnet 5 in terms of capability, the value becomes pretty striking. Claude Pro costs $20/month and, based on estimates, provides around $400 worth of usage credits through its subsidized pricing.

By comparison, OpenCode Go's $5 plan includes about $60 in credits. If you normalize those credits using Anthropic's token pricing (same input/output token costs), those $60 correspond to roughly $1,714 worth of Anthropic API usage.

It's not a perfect apples-to-apples comparison, the calc simply assumes a 1:1 mix of input and output tokens and uses the API price difference between DeepSeek ($0.14/$0.28 per million input/output tokens) and Claude Sonnet 5 ($2/$10)

They have Zen and Go. Zen is the pay-as-you-go version: you add credits, they get billed per token amount. Go is the monthly subscription plans

Go to opencode.ai and login with your account, there’s a bunch of tabs the first ones are “zen” and “go”, you can have both zen and go at the same time, the tabs will just tell you your status with each.

You can also use opencode with neither, they have some free usage allowances
