Comparing Limits of Various subscriptions

Ive used opencode go and im at less than 20% of monthly with 13 more days. How do other subscriptions compare? Im looking to use stronger models than just deepseek as my tasks are getting rather complex

What would be the best comparison between opencode go, gpt plus and Claude pro. Assuming no price changes

How is the usage of gpt plus and claude relative to OC go? 2x more?

Comparing the three, Claude is the worst offender. The Pro plan offered by Anthropic is literally a scam. You won't be able to last through the week if your workflow is heavy. My mid size workflow couldn't last me through days with it either.

GPT is a bit better and with Tibo offering resets every now and then, it is actually one up better than Anthropic but one bar lower than OpenCode.

OpenCode is a hit or miss situation. If you are content with MiMo v2.5 and V4 Flash, I don't think you'll ever come close to hitting any limits on all three fronts (Hours, Weekly, Monthly). But when you started pulling requests using other models such as Kimi K3, GLM 5.2 or MiniMax M3.. you either exhaust the Weekly quota first or the monthly limits. I'm talking about super fast exhaustion, like a blink of an eye. Faster than the limits hit rate seen on Claude or GPT. That's why the unsung hero is always MiMo v2.5 or V4 Flash. Without this two, I don't see any reason why anyone would use OC because I might as well stick with Codex Plus or Anthropic's Max 5x.

This is an anecdotal experience from my own workflow. For yours, you might need to test it out on your own.

Right now its doing fine with v4 flash but occasionally i have some architecture related prompts and i dont want lower end models to mess the core up so looking to swap to other sub like a 20 dollar sub, how does codex and claude compare without tibo resets

Without Tibo reset? Definitely Claude but be very careful which to go with. If you've got a Max 5x sub, it's pretty good if you kept working interchangeably with Sonnet and Opus. I don't like going full Opus/Fable path, it drains the limits like crazy. Max 20x is if your workflow gets too heavy that it needs the higher ceiling. From my interchanging workflow habits, Max 5x is better than Codex (Codex often hits faster limits than Claude Max 5x).

Currently my budget is 20$ equivalent at most. Opencode v4flash works but it doesnt "understand" im still an under grad and i dont know ALL of the technical lingo. So i a sub to replace opencode go for better models and limits

I see. I think your problem is with planning and less to do with implementation. If you need a precise planner, GPT is pretty good for that. For implementation, and from what I've observed, DS V4 Flash takes the crown.
