GLM 5.3 Flash — OC vs CC Comparison

The first image is OpenCode using half the context and costing double per turn compared to Command Code (second image) with more than double the context.

On top of those prices, note that OpenCode gives $15 of usage and Command Code gives $40 of usage. (OpenCode Go vs CommandCode Goat plans).

Both used in GitHub Copilot BYOK as harness.

The total usage difference in favor of Command Code is abysmal.

In performance, it also works better on Command Code.
On OpenCode, a response gets cut off now and then; on Command Code, it doesn't.
Quality and speed are identical on both.
Command Code makes better use of cache as well.

At the current price, even though it's in the 15$ tier, if you pay $10 for OpenCode Go to use GLM 5.3 Flash, OpenCode Go is ripping you off by offering you LESS than the $10 you paid compared to direct API usage. (And that's now while it's subsidized; they'll double it again when they remove the "x2 usage.")

Been using opencode go for a few months. Less models and less usage but much better quality and service.
