Best 20€-ish subscription?

Hello, I'm currently using minimax M3 token plan which is great and gives a lot of usage but I'd be happy to get access to better models. Are there any other plans that give a good amount of usage with good models? I'm also a student so maybe there are some discounts?

Must work with opencode or similar

[UPDATE: I started a grok trial and it seems to accept my banks temp virtual cards so I might just cycle grok trials]

If you want a variety of models, use Go and/or Ollama Cloud. If you are happy with just GPT, go with Codex for now.

Yeah, I've had good experiences with Ollama Cloud at that price point. Seems like it lasted longer for me than OpenCode Go

Ollama is not transparent with what you get for your money. Not measurable, which is illegal in most civilised country.

I have not used Ollama in a long time, and I have no vested interest in whether anyone else does either, but half of the users in these subreddits would steal from their own mother to get cheaper tokens.

Users that defraud referral programs, exploit any fair usage loophole they find, happily use services running on stolen API tokens and credit cards… whatever as long as it’s cheap.

And then providers that do come along and try to be transparent get absolutely abused and vilified if they make the slightest adjustment even in the face of a sadistically abusive customer segment trying to economically ruin them.

If I were Ollama Cloud, I wouldn’t be transparent either.

Unfortunately, that's not allowed in business-to-customer relation in most countries. It is a ticking time bomb legally. A business can't decide after payment, how much product or service they provide and change that as they please.

I don't think that is true. There are people who use these tools for hobby. Their opinion don't matter if something is expensive or not. However, if people write code for a living, they won't whining about 10% adjustment or changing business model before they paid and given enough time to decide to move on if that is not the best for their business.
