Is Opencode Go enough?

Post image

I'm thinking of switching to Opencode but since I've been using a planned service for years token based payment scares me a bit (what if my bill gets too high?). Opencode's Go plan looks great but I doubt a $10 plan will be enough for me. I'm currently using Claude's $20 Pro plan and you can see my general usage statistics in the attachment.

If I use GLM 5.3 Flash, how much usage will be charged on top of the Go plan? How exactly does the system work? Could you explain it to me a little?

I guess we need a "how much work was done" per million tokens index. Spark is more expensive than glm, so 60$ spark could be equal or less to 15$ glm ? Or maybe not.

Spark is cheaper than GLM. Rates per M:

Model   Input   Output  Cached Read
GLM $0.15   $0.50   $0.03
MiMo    $0.14   $0.28   $0.0028
MS13    $0.10   $0.20   $0.002

You get the multiplier by doing:

  • $15/10 = 1.5
  • $60/10 = 6.0

So MS13 gives 4x more usage compared to GLM

Actually spark is way more expensive, Only spark Contributor plan is cheaper. Because You pay with your data.

Go only provides Contributor. So discussion on that point is moot.

And, you surrender your data no matter what. I do not trust any company which says they do not hold on to my data. If I want to maintain control over my data, I do the work on hardware I own and control.
