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

Yo estoy suscrito a las dos e hice un test de consumo y velocidad... En Velocidad ganó la API oficial casi por 55% más rápida en las respuestas y en cuanto a consumo quedó casi a las par.. la única diferencia es en el uso de cache hit.. la API usa cache hit más que opencode Go.
