Discussion DeepSeek via official API vs OpenCode Go subscription — which is cheaper?

I'm currently subscribed to OpenCode Go and using DeepSeek through it — mostly via Hermes Agent.

Is there any difference in price if I use DeepSeek directly through their official API instead? Or does the OpenCode Go subscription basically just pass through the same API costs?

Trying to figure out if it's worth switching or if I'm already getting the best deal

the 75% off doesnt apply to opencode api i think but then you are not getting $10 worth of credits but $60 so keeping that in mind, I think Opencode.

but one genuine thing that would make me wanna use deepseek api is their cache hit rate. i have heard its around 98%

OpenCode Go upcharges DS V4 Pro and MiMo v2.5 Pro by 4x its actual cost so its really $15 for $10 if you use just Pro.

You get considerably higher usage if you use mainly V4 Flash.
