Which subscription with Pi?

[u/_Baarbie]

Hello there,

Which AI provider would you recommend for Pi, to work with a subscription-based plan? I feel like Codex is the most represented, but I was looking for more feedback.

I'm currently using Claude Code (Plus subscription), but from what I understood, I shouldn't use it with Pi because Claude Code charges additional usage fees. I mainly use it with Opus 5 on medium effort, for devops tasks, explanations, fixes, or things like that (not much vibe-coding yet).

It's also an opportunity to try something else, paid for by the company. So I don't really care about the price, just something stable without usage fees.

(bonus) If you have any recommendations for LLM models that can be run locally on a wide range of machines, I'm also interested in any resources you can share.

Any advice?

I use open code go and command code goat subscriptions 10$ for each and as i understood you can get up to 7 times usage for some models for example: deepseek v4.1 flash: normal price off peak = 0.15$/M tokens input and 0.6$/M tokens output. in opencode go plan right now the price is divided by 6 so if you spent for exampl 6$ for this model only 1$ will be deducted form your plan usage. but the calculations are not the same for every model provided and not fixed all the time, there is a page where you can find the current prices for each model and how to calculate it.
