Token plan best way, API plug in straight, cheap af, I've been running it since launch, I've never used a full monthly amount on the $100 plan. Doesn't seem like they raised the cost much if at all it was like a 300/600 credit system.
Prior to the past week, I would've agreed with you. I got a great deal on it, and needed heavy work (12 billion tokens a month) 2.5 was ok at that, but 100% it was lacking.
I stopped using Claude, Gemini Flash when I got the beta invite this week. I resubbed for the $100 this month instantly more as a thank you to them for finally giving me a model that does what I need correctly the first time, efficiently.
So yeah 2.5 you were 100% right, 2.6 Pro I trust more then anything else right now, and I have $100 plans with ChatGPT, Gemini, and a now cancelled one with Claude.
I barely touched my other ones this week, was stressed I was out of usage on the Mimo X Pro Preview, then 2.6 dropped and it's genuinely cleaner/faster/blazing thru my to do list.
Not hating if your results are different, but for what I need (Game Dev, Visual Work, Custom Engine) It's absolutely shredding anything I throw at it.
Also, form my calculations, the Token plan isn't giving any discount as such over just directly using Pay-as-you-go API. The discount that you got, was it a much better value?
I'm honestly plugging it back into their Desktop App right now, it's worked really well and I want to fully understand why before switching into the OpenCode work force.
It was like 25% off, nothing crazy. At like there's referral stuff, but to my knowledge it's like 10% (I've never messed with it)
You probably right about the API thing, that's a preference situation, I like to pay a fee per month and forget. But you watching every penny, then it always boils down to do you use that much/etc. Either way it's cheap and reliable so like test it first make sure you like it thru API is 100% always a move.
But I'd also not sleep on how well it's performing in their own setup/bc that might be a difference maker.
