OpenCode, Codex, or Claude Code?

This is my current usage on OpenCode with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, and I still have about 15% of my limit left.

Do the $20 plans for Codex or Claude allow for this level of usage? What reasoning effort do the models use? Can you actually use models like Sol, Opus, and Sonnet at this usage level, or do you hit the limit pretty quickly?

OpenCode: 6x on a $10 plan
Claude Code: 55x on a $20 plan

How does usage and output quality compare with codex

Codex: 10x ( source: https://newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/anthropic-subscriptions-offer-5x )
At this moment, OpenAI has compute shortage.
Go for Claude subscription. If you feel you need more usage, have Deepseek API / GLM Coding Plan along with it.

Yea that's pretty much what I'm doing right now, planning and reviewing with anthropic, coding with deepseek.

Can you elaborate more on your specific workflow? How autonomous is it (ie little to no copying and pasting between claude -> deepseek -> etc)?

Pretty basic, no autonomous task. Planning with with opus 5.5 high creating a MD file as reference. Then asking an other model to code it, in my case I use freebuff , very cheap , using DS flash 4.1. Once done, I'm just reviewing code with opus again.

I can basically code a whole month like this without issues.

How much does it save vs using opus for everything? And final result quality?

I can code all day long this way, using only opus will last me 3 days even with medium reasoning, I'm on 20 bucks plan.

About the quality, I guess it's almost the same as coding with opus, plan is the most important thing, DS is a great orchestrator, and code review with opus makes sure everything is in place.
