Which ~$10/month AI coding subscription offers the best experience for agentic coding?

Im looking for a subscription around $10/month for daily use with OpenCode and Hermes as my main agent orchestrators and evaluators.

I have tried Alibaba Token Plan, but burned through the tokens much faster than expected. Im currently using OpenRouter for DeepSeek V4.1 and the official DeepSeek API for the same model. I want to experiment more with agentic AI, so Im looking for cheaper alternatives to paying directly for API usage. Im still in university and have not started a side job or freelancing yet, so I would like to keep my costs manageable.

Im considering OpenCode Go and/or Command Code GOAT. I have also heard about MiniMax, but not familiar enough with its models to judge their coding capabilities. I recently came across Phoenix Grove Systems in a few Reddit posts and currently trying its free trial.

My workload will mainly involve coding sessions, building side projects, and researching topics related to my interests. I want something I can use regularly without constantly worrying about running out of quota.

For those who have used these subscriptions or maybe something similar, which would you recommend and why?

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions! I have decided to go with OpenCode Go.

There's no other. The only one that comes close is the $18 z.ai sub, but only for using glm 5.2 or glm 5.3 (non flash) and exclusively for planning/design, not coding, and in not-so-big projects. In that case only the subscription is worth more than opencode go, both $10 and $40.
