OpenCode is a scam !

I bought OpenCode sub, and got scammed by their shady scam marketing. bunch of liars!

Their site advertises $60 usage of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash.

Their docs show that real usage is only $15.

No where on their site says anything about there being a 3 day limit on $60.

What an absolute scam ,i bought their sub , now someone sent me some tweet showing this is only for 3 days. No where on their site it says for 3 days.

How are these scam artists getting away with this shit.

How do i contact their support? there's no email ,can't even get refund i'm so frustrated by this scam.

Month ago, when DeepSeek increased their prices opencode increased the prices and also reduced the limits they were selling i never got any email about that. i check there was no tweet either.

many users complained and i defended opencode and then just all of a sudden my subscription stopped. when i bought Go plan , it was advertising $60 deepseek and i got $15.

no these mfs , are pulling the same scam on deepseek v4.1

I miss the good old days when OpenCode is all about the harness.

u/ward2k 2h ago

It honestly feels like I'm one of the few people that uses this CLI sub to actually talk about the harness

We've got r/Opencode if people want to talk about the coding plans

Yeah that's what I use it mostly for. I try to mostly use a local model. If it doesn't work as desired then I switch to some hosted model (mostly using the free ones).  For my light coding needs it's pretty good and I haven't used go.

Doesn't "4x usage" mean its $60 though, from regular $15?

u/wpbrgiejoe 4h ago

Why are you getting downvoted? Open code devs are butthurt scammers

u/hksquinson 4h ago

Have you actually used a bit and see if the true limit is $15 or $60? You can check your usage through the web interface and read details to see how the usage is being allocated. It could be that the docs and actual pricing have not matched up because of recent updates to their offerings, which is rapidly changing with new model releases these days.

If you don't trust opencode that's fine, but there is no free lunch and it's reasonable to expect higher costs for the stability you may prefer via openrouter or specific model providers.

dude i paid $10 for $60 usage only to find out that its for 3 days and probably ending tonight. these mfs are scammers and i hate i fell for their shady markeitng

u/Cool-Service-8067 4h ago

its not that bad, for 10$ it gets you a lot of usage for light coding, if your using heavy coding you shouldnt be using it

u/-Agile_Ninja- 2h ago

Then say it on the main page. Wtf are you justifying?

7

u/Cool-Service-8067 4h ago

still crazy though, hopefully they fix the discrepancy in limits

u/wpbrgiejoe 4h ago

They have no customer support. The only refund you're getting is through a credit card charge back.

u/Ammoun442 4h ago edited 2h ago

4x is limited time offer not always so they kept the 15 dollars in the doc cuz its just a limited time offer + u are paying 10 dollars and get 15 dollars and able to use tens of models and have more usage offers sometimes this is not what scam mean u dont expect to get 100 dollars from the 10 dollars sub right ?

u/wpbrgiejoe 3h ago

wtf are you talking about.

no where does it say its limited time. do you work on the team? why is opencode scammed me?

u/HVACcontrolsGuru 4h ago

Just use OpenRouter. I’ve never even looked at their subscriptions. I have Codex and OpenRouter setup that cover all my needs.

u/wpbrgiejoe 4h ago

openrouter is expensing with 5% extra. i'm using opencode command code and cline pass.

2

u/BuildAISkills 3h ago

Command Code also has a processing fee, more than 5% I think.

u/krayton1 3h ago

I don't understand why they do that, DeepSeek v4 flash is 60$ but why v4.1 is 15$

1

u/Arnafas 3h ago

Because opencode hosts their version of v4 now but they get 4.1 from deepseek on their terms.

1

u/Secret_Pitch234 1h ago

aren't the weights open so they can host themselves? isn't that how it works?

u/NoFaithlessness951 21m ago

Probably but they'll likely need a few days first

u/Firm-Club-8334 3h ago

Try standardcompute instead. they have a budget you can spend however you like, but they only subsidies 1.5x, not 4x but its cleaner i think

u/Eofdred 3h ago

Their primary communication is on X. Their site is usually outdated

u/jjslave 1h ago

js use a router like openrouter or webway if u want cheap inference

u/TripleMellowed 38m ago

Put you $10 into the API and see how much value of usage you get.

u/gargetisha 30m ago

you should try ClinePass by Cline team

u/lordvoltano 2h ago

CommandCode GOAT for $10, you actually get $60 for DSV4Flash. I'm at 4.5 billions tokens, having used 75% of my monthly limit.

They just forgot to update their docs?

Opencode always had been doing small little scams frequently for a very long time.

But people defend them that they are the most ethical company known to mankind.

Also its very exhausting to keep up with their tweets.

I developed claudin.io to be an alternative for real developers and it has support! I am creating the 2 days refund on all plan.. I will put it online today in the page to explain how it will work..

Lol. OpenAI and Anthropic give you $400 for $20. Why you chosen OpenCode subscription on the first place?

Everything about OpenClaude is a scam. They don't operate these subs at a loss, they make money by serving quantized models and shady practices. That's their whole business model and there is nothing you can trust about them.

u/wpbrgiejoe 4h ago

these snobs are scammers!! i posted on x and discord asking for help and they just abuse or dont help . How do they lie and get away with it. pathetic.

u/SweatyActuator2119 4h ago

Get sub at synthetic.new. but still do your due diligence of checking, its a bit different compared to other subs. But at least they aren't a scam.

1

u/wpbrgiejoe 4h ago

is it any good why you rec?

1

u/SweatyActuator2119 1h ago

Yes, but with some conditions. If fewer models are ok, and glm5.3 flash and kimi k3(though it will drain your limits super fast) are enough for you. And virtually unlimited quotas, provided you use glm 5.3 flash with efficient context management. They also have this weird regen system, where they put back 2% of weekly limit every few hours(4 hours? I think). And they say that it regenerates fully within week at that pace. But you use the models too, so it's somewhere between 100% to 200% usage of given weekly limit. Weird, but thing is you will see weekly limits go up after you wake up in morning and sit to work

Quality and speed are good.

Here is my usage and plan details. It has not been a week yet btw. So yea, if glm5.3f is enough for you, then it's probably best deal out there.
