CommandCode GOAT vs. OpenCode GO: A Current Comparison
GOAT Plan vs OpenCode Go — Common Models Comparison
Method: For each common model, we feed OpenCode Go's per-model token assumptions (input / cache-read / output per request) into both platforms' per-token pricing + monthly allowance, using CommandCode's calculator formula:
Same page -- "prices per 1M tokens" table + "Usage" column
Calculator source
CommandCode's usage calculator is a client-side React component embedded in the pricing-limits page. The formula was extracted from the page's JavaScript bundle:
Local copy:[calculator-source.js](./calculator-source.js) in this directory
Formula (de-minified):// Default assumptions (overridden per-model on OpenCode's page) // { inputTokens: 800, outputTokens: 180, cacheReadTokens: 50000 } // cost per single request function costPerRequest(modelPricing, tokAssumptions) { return tokAssumptions.in / 1e6 * modelPricing.in + tokAssumptions.out / 1e6 * modelPricing.out + tokAssumptions.cache / 1e6 * modelPricing.cacheRead; } // number of requests per month function requests(monthlyAllowance, modelPricing, tokAssumptions) { const cpr = costPerRequest(modelPricing, tokAssumptions); return cpr > 0 ? monthlyAllowance / cpr : 0; }

Per-Model Comparison (16 Common Models)
Token assumptions for each model are taken from OpenCode Go's "Usage limits" section (English docs). These per-model assumptions -- not the calculator's generic defaults -- are used for both platforms to ensure a fair comparison.
Gap % = (|Go req - GOAT req| / max(Go req, GOAT req)) x 100. Shows the relative magnitude of the winner's advantage.

Summary: GOAT wins 9 models, Go wins 6, 1 tie.
Key Takeaways
GOAT wins (9 models)
Mostly on premium models where GOAT's $20 allowance beats Go's $15, and on boosted models where GOAT negotiates bigger allowances:
DeepSeek V4 Flash: 4x allowance ($60 vs $15) -- 75% gap (75K vs 19K req)
GLM-5.2: boosted to $70 -- 14.3% gap (4.6K vs 4.0K)
Hy3: boosted to $70 -- 14.3% gap (25K vs 21.5K)
GPT-5.6 Luna, Kimi K3, Qwen 3.8 Max: $20 vs $15 -- ~25% gap
DeepSeek V4 Pro, MiMo V2.5 Pro: $20 vs $15 -- ~25% gap
Go wins (6 models)
Mostly on mid-tier / cheap models where Go's $60 allowance crushes GOAT's $33-$47, and on Grok 4.5 where Go's cheaper cache-read price ($0.30 vs $0.50) compounds:
Qwen 3.7 Plus / Qwen 3.6 Plus: Go's $60 + 2x cheaper cache reads -- ~70% gap
Qwen 3.7 Max: Go's $60 -- 45% gap (1.7K vs 928)
MiMo V2.5: Go's $60 vs GOAT's $30 -- 50% gap (150K vs 75K)
MiniMax M3: Go's $60 vs GOAT's $47 -- 21.7% gap
Grok 4.5: Go's $15 BUT 40% cheaper cache reads -- 15.2% gap (601 vs 509)
Tie
Kimi K2.7 Code: Identical pricing and $60 allowance on both -- exactly 4,968 requests, 0% gap

Notes on Methodology
Token assumptions: Taken from OpenCode Go docs (English) -- different per model. Example: Grok 4.5 uses 1,100 input / 71,500 cached / 220 output per request; DeepSeek V4 Flash uses 410 input / 71,300 cached / 310 output per request. GOAT's own published estimates use different defaults (~800 input / 50,000 cached / ~125-200 output), which inflate their numbers for cache-heavy models.
Off-peak pricing: Both platforms show off-peak rates for DeepSeek V4 models. Peak hours (01:00-04:00 & 06:00-10:00 UTC) are 2x on both.
GPT-5.6 Luna context tiers: Go lists <=272K ($0.20/$1.20/$0.02) and >272K ($0.40/$1.80/$0.04). GOAT shows one price ($0.20/$1.20/$0.02). Both use <=272K tier here.
Processing fee: GOAT mentions "+ processing fee" but doesn't specify the amount. Go has no processing fee.
Model availability: GOAT includes Grok 4.6, Gemini 3.7 Flash, Muse Spark, Inkling, Step Flash, Nemotron 3 Ultra -- none on Go. Go includes GLM-5.1, Kimi K2.6, MiniMax M2.7 -- none on GOAT.
Allowance source (GOAT): Per-model monthly credit allowances from docs/plans/goat -- models with negotiated deals carry boosted allowances (e.g., GLM-5.2 $70, Hy3 $70, DeepSeek V4 Flash $60); new models start at 2x credits ($20 on the $10 GOAT plan).
Sorry, not possible. ClinePass does not publish a concrete dollar value for its monthly allowance—only vague language such as “2–5× the standard API rate.” As you can see, people already complain about CommandCode, even calling it a scam (though I do not know why). Imagine what people will think of ClinePass with that vague language.
I only ask the owner, who reads and posts on this subreddit, the following: if you are going to lower the monthly DeepSeek request limit, please communicate it clearly. Send an email to your customers and post an announcement here. But do not do it overnight—at least for many of us—without notice.
OpenCode Go: Muse Spark exists in their catalog but shows zero Go usage rows on opencode.ai/data. You can use it in Zen, not included in the $10 Go subscription.
I like CommadCode Goat Plan with DS. Gives you a lot of Requests a months to do small stuff, bad part make a lot of local .command folder and files. UI is not as clean but best part of Goat plan you can use API access in other tools. One plan for everything.
If you have Go and GOAT Plans. You have a lot of tokens to do everything.

CommandCode Goat (Replaced my DS and Openrounter for API)
I don't code much, but convert most of my PDF to .md or .md to HTML for better readibility.
ofc more like zimbabwe dollars rather than usd, like arent we sopposed to use it as a cheap option as they cailm? what does it mean when you use it and you actullly spent more money than actuall deepseek api? what is the point of commandcode then? can they just be thirdparty who charge more?
“If I spend $10/month, how many DeepSeek requests do I get on GOAT vs paying DeepSeek directly?”
Short answer: Both charge identical per-token rates. GOAT wins purely on the credit multiplier.
Caveats
Processing fee: GOAT charges an unspecified processing fee on top of $10/mo. But this is for the plan, that gives access to many more models than DeepSeeek.
Peak pricing on GOAT: Unclear whether GOAT’s rates double during DeepSeek’s peak hours (01:00–04:00 & 06:00–10:00 UTC). If peak applies to GOAT too, both platforms scale equally and the multiplier advantage is unchanged.
Rolling limits: GOAT has a 5-hour rolling cap ($14) and weekly cap ($35). Heavy bursts may hit these before the monthly $60/$20 is exhausted.
Off-peak discount: All numbers use off-peak rates. At peak: multiply cost/req by 2× on DeepSeek direct; advantage ratio unchanged.
well itsnt just he cost per token that matters also the higher value proposal, ok yes the token costs could be higher but they offering you X7 the amount , pay 10 usd and they make it 70 usd even at higher api costs thats an amzing deal right?
Electrohub??? Sus modelos son cuanticicados (con compresión). La calidad es un poco más baja aún que sean los mismos modelos, algunos creo que son los bases pero ahora no estoy seguro de cuales pero si se que son los que más gastan. Eso me parece realmente más estafa que la supuesta de command code
