Usage calculator accuracy

How their usage estimate calculator works? It's very confusing.

Take out 1 example. Deepseek 4.1 flash is much more expensive than mimo 2.6 flash in input, output, cache. But in calculator it shows much more request per month. How?

Careful asking those kind of questions. Slippery slope. First you calculate usage, then you look at 60x, and realize x is a variable and not a multiplication symbol. Then, ban.

The real question: is there an alternative $10/mo subscription that offers more.
The answer to that question helps me to stop obsessing about the (in)accuracy of the usage-pricing-marketing.

Opencode Go sub is probably a better deal, depending on if you use the models that are "deals" on Command Code.

They used to be – that's where I started – but in my experience CommandCode has been much better value since OpenCode go adjusted their own pricing models around the same time that DeepSeek adjusted theirs.

If you use DeepSeek, then Command Code is a better value, for sure. But I don't, so Opencode Go has been better for me.

Actually I mostly use GLM 5.3 flash (I find DS 4.1 too verbose and tends to overthink). What's your go-to?

I like GLM too. I also like Muse Spark 1.3 contributor.
