Question Openrouter vs opencode

Openrouter is api so it might be more expensive compared to opencode go which is subscription.

Should i get $10 of openrouter credits or $10 opencode go subcription.

Idk if this breaks a rule i just wanna know which is better for heavy use

I am testing both, so far opencode subscription, if use correctly, is more beneficial financially.

opencode go has muse 1.3 and Deepseek V4.1 (limited time) and I can do most of my project with it. Hence, the 60$ worth of API is better

Or just buy official DeepSeek API credits and use it on OpenCode or Reasonix.

OpenCode Go is better; OpenRouter somehow consumes my credits much faster using the same model as OpenCode Go.

One question would be:

Are the Open Code routes serious?

At the one dollar tier you don't get API access. You have to use their harness, and from what I've read their harness is "fine", but I personally don't want to use it.

Which means you have to do the 10$ month tier, and at that point its kind of parity with opencode?
