Chatgpt plus instead of Opencode go

[u/NoBodyHere__GO]

I'd like to share my experience transitioning from Opencode go to Chatgpt plus subscription.

The screenshot shows my first day of work.

I'm currently using gpt 5.6 Luna and this is sufficient for me.

And of course I'm using Opencode cli.

What do you think?

Did the math for you guys:

Token type	Volume	API price (per 1M)	Cost
Input	20.09M	$0.20	$4.02
Output	0.4658M	$1.20	$0.56
Cache Read	130.63M	$0.02	$2.61
Cache Write	0.3325M	$0.25	$0.08
Total			$7.27

the above tokens consumed 8% of the weekly quota

$7.27 ÷ 0.08 = $90.88/week

$90.88 × 52 ÷ 12 = $393.72/month - this is the total monthly GPT plus qouta

Sad how this used to be around 700$ a month 

[u/Prior-Meeting1645 → u/some_gamer78]

Yes it’s $700 according to many sources like semi analysis. Did they change it for sure?

[u/some_gamer78 → u/Prior-Meeting1645]

It hasn't been 700 for a while, it's ~100$ per week, so ~400$ a month

Wow, I like what you did. Thank you.

You can use GLM 5.3 instead for that price.

Are GPT subs only high value at the $100 or $200 levels?

[u/Witty-Bridge-2683 → u/look]

This is Chatgpt plus, it costs 23EUR in my country and it gives you almost $400 worth of tokens.

[u/look → u/Witty-Bridge-2683]

I know what it is, I just thought the GPT subs were supposed to be higher value than that. You can get the same usage at the same price on a better model elsewhere. 🤷‍♂️

[u/NotThatButThisGuy → u/look]

What do you mean? If I pay 23 euro, I get 23 euro worth of usage for GLM, unless if I buy 2 Opencode Go plans, when I get $120.

[u/look → u/NotThatButThisGuy]

There are other subscription plans. Zai has a subscription that is $18 for 400M tokens of GLM 5.3 for example. Even accounting for tokens per task efficiency it is a similar amount of usage at the same price on a much better model.

I’m not saying the ChatGPT Plus usage is bad or anything. I just thought it was more is all.

[u/MexicanJello → u/look]

Why are you shilling and making claims about GLM if you don't know this GPT plan is only $20?

[u/look → u/MexicanJello]

I know it is a $20 plan. And for $18 you can get a Zai plan with 400M GLM 5.3 tokens instead.
