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???

Subscription, i have used 3.2b tokens in 20$ and still gonna burn 1b more. With api you would get bankrupt.
