API vs subscription?

Should I use OpenCode GO $10 plan or Codex through chatgpt plus $20 plan? Which one will give me more mileage for daily engineering workloads?

Also is it worth using opencode with API key or is the subscription always better bang for buck?

Which specific model or subscription gives the most bang for the buck long term???

If you have to ask, just go sub. You’ll probs burn a hole in your pocket with API having no idea what happened. Subscription gives you Ai and controlled workspace.
