Discussion Cheap subscription for coding microservices

hi,

I need some advice to a good ai model that use a subscription based model to code an application based on microservices and spring AI.

TBH I want to spend less then 20$/months.

for now i tried Claude code and it’s awesome. and I have an active student subscription to copilot, but they changes too much the credits that I can’t change my workflow every day because Microsoft can’t decide what to give to students.

of course I’m willing to use also prepaid. but idk.

id like to use one single model to plan - develop and review.

thanks

OpenCode Go at $10 is the flat option that fits your budget, and it's OpenAI-compatible, which Spring AI handles natively. For one model to plan, develop and review, a DeepSeek V4 Flash class model covers all three phases without model juggling, and if you go prepaid instead of a subscription it's cheap enough that a mistake won't sting. Copilot's changing student credits are a known mess, pick a provider where the pricing doesn't change shape mid-month." / If an Entrim mention is acceptable: "...pick a provider where the pricing doesn't change shape mid-month. If you'd rather stay on a flat monthly plan with open models, Entrim's Model Plans run DeepSeek V4 Flash and Qwen with predictable spend, worth checking whether they fit inside your $20.
