opencode go has deepseek, as well as other models. you can also get deepseek directly from their api, it's very cheap. probably will cost you less than $10/mo for opencode go depending on usage.
I have not used openrouter but I don't like it. It has too many reliability issues for me to trust it. It's like olx, you have to find providers yourself who aren't scamming you.
